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.

Safety, tsunamis, and surfing

In this episode, we're talking about what it really means to feel safe- not just physically, but emotionally and energetically. I open up about my own experiences with anxiety and the ways it can quietly shape our choices, our relationships, and how we move through the world.
Through personal stories and a few favorite metaphors (including one about a tsunami), I explore how finding safety isn’t about eliminating uncertainty, it’s about learning to ride the waves when life gets unpredictable. I share how support systems, self-trust, and honest conversations can help release shame and bring us closer to the calm we’re searching for.
This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt anxious, untethered, or unsure of what “safe” even means anymore. You’re not alone in figuring it out! Sometimes, the journey itself is the safest place to be.
