Starfish Diaries
The Starfish Diaries is a podcast hosted by Liz McKean; coach, consultant, yoga teacher, recovery & mental health advocate, and lover of metaphors.
Inspired by "The Starfish Story," you can expect to hear personal stories, insightful reflections, and gentle reminders that you are not doing it wrong. Your joy, your work, your healing, and your desire for something more matters.
This is an invitation to make your life a place you want to be. Tools to envision what that even looks like. And permission to want it!
A better world begins with people who believe it's possible. And I promise, my sweet Starfish, that it IS possible.

Hypnosis and Anxiety: rewiring old patterns to feel better, faster
Holiday Hypnosis sessions are deeply discounted until December 31st! Grab one here while they last.
In today’s episode, I’m talking honestly about my experience with anxiety and panic- how it shows up in my body, and how it can make even the smallest moments feel impossible. But not only do I share what anxiety feels like for me, and why it sometimes spirals so quickly, I'm sharing the tools I use to interrupt the cycle before it carries me away.
I'll chat about
- the difference between knowing what helps and actually being able to access it when we’re overwhelmed
- the role self-hypnosis has played in rewiring my brain to respond differently, and what that process entails
- the power of taking even the smallest action (like a walk or a deep breath) as a way to break out of a spiral
- how hypnosis
If anxiety is something you live with, or something you’re trying to understand and navigate with more self-compassion, I hope you take a listen.
