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.

New Year.... True You
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It’s the obligatory New Year episode of Starfish Diaries! Dropping this one early in case you want to hang out with me in your ears before the ball drops. Or after. Or anytime!
But we don't do the "new year, new you" nonsense up in here. We lean in to reflection, grace, and permission to be human. ...All of which are counterintuitive to my natural brain chemistry, which is why a discussion is warranted.
In this episode, we talk about these nuggets and more:
- What old journals/checklists/photos (including screenshots) can teach us about how far we’ve come
- Why we’re so hard on past versions of ourselves (and how I am working to soften that, cringe-worthy moments and all)
- How “shoulds” are weighing us down.... and a practice I found that is grounded in I can and I AM instead of I should
A few things I hope you take from this convo:
- We’re just so eternally, embarrassingly, and yet perfectly human.
- We all do the best we can with what we have. You, me, everybody.
- Everything is made up. All of it. So might as well be you, do you, love you.
