Starfish Hypnosis
Starfish Hypnosis is a podcast hosted by Liz McKean; hypnotist, coach, yoga teacher, recovery & mental health advocate, and lover of metaphors.
The name of the show is inspired by "The Starfish Story," and the belief that every precious star in the sea and sky deserves peace within (you are one of those precious stars). You can expect to hear stories and reflections about the power of your subconscious mind to feel better, alongside frequent reminders that you are not doing it wrong (any of it). Your joy, your work, your healing, and your desire for something more matters.
This is an invitation to make your world- the inner and the outer- a place you like to be.

Let the big feelings flow
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We're digging into emotions- why they are good, when they are hard and how they are forever inconvenient.
- The wild and wide distance between a real life problem and the body’s reaction to it
- Why an out-of-proportion panic response is not personal failure, it's actually incredibly wise (albeit terribly inconvenient)
- A Kumail Nanjiani joke that perfectly frames this emotional mismatch (his Netflix special is fabulous btw- not affiliated btw)
- Lessons from therapy in the realm of feeling the real emotion as opposed to intellectualizing it (rude)
- The lifelong, LOUD messages we absorb, all demanding we tone down and tidy up our feelings
- How numbing keeps us from the full spectrum of being alive, and how critical it is to feel it all, especially now.
Here's to feeling it all. I'll be on my bedroom floor, crying to my "big feelings" playlist.
Love ya.
