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.

Un-learning the rules on how to feel better
In this episode of Starfish Diaries, I’m talking about uniqueness; how deeply individual our bodies, minds, needs, and paths to feeling better actually are… and why honoring that matters so much.
In this episode, we'll explore:
- Why we all experience anxiety, addiction, and healing incredibly differently
- What happens when our true need are overridden by societal expectations
- How addiction (of any kind) can quietly shrink where joy is allowed to live
- Why “feeling better” doesn’t have a universal formula
- The role of yoga and hypnosis in reconnecting with your body and inner wisdom
- What it looks like to choose your path instead of forcing yourself into someone else’s
- Why self-acceptance often requires unlearning what we’ve been taught
Reminders I want you to hear clearly:
- Your body is for you
- You are incredibly unique
- You get to decide
- You deserve to feel better
This episode is an invitation to stop comparing, stop overriding yourself, and start honoring the truth that your body and your life belong to you.
