What if your greatest wounds were the very portals to your purpose?

In this deeply moving and empowering episode, Elaine Starling invites you into the profound journey of Caroline Rena—army veteran, empath, spiritual guide, and transformational coach—who transformed a lifetime of trauma into a beacon of healing for others. From childhood trauma and military sexual harassment to generational grief and maternal estrangement, Caroline didn’t just survive… she alchemized.

Together, Elaine and Caroline explore how we can shift from performance to presence, from fear to freedom, and from pain to power. You’ll discover why healing your nervous system is foundational for discovering your truth, and how releasing deeply ingrained beliefs opens the door to real abundance—not the kind you chase, but the kind you become.

You’ll also learn:

· Why questions like “What am I feeling?” and “How can I respond differently?” are keys to transformation

· The difference between external and internal abundance—and why the latter is where freedom begins

· How to ground your energy and find clarity through a simple, yet powerful, beach meditation

· Why your story—yes, yours—is sacred, and how it holds the medicine someone else needs

This isn’t just an episode. It’s a mirror, a map, and a moment of awakening. You’ll feel seen, soothed, and inspired to start—or deepen—your own healing journey.

Tune in now. Your breakthrough might just begin here.

What if the emptiness you're feeling isn't a sign you're broken — but a sacred signal you're waking up?

In this soul-soothing episode, Elaine Starling invites you into the powerful first phase of The Spiral of Divine Abundance: Remembrance. When life feels like it’s unraveling — when your plans dissolve, your confidence wavers, and you hear that inner voice whisper, “What if I never figure this out?” — you’re not failing. You’re being called home.

This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering who you already are — whole, worthy, and abundant by design.

Elaine gently guides you through a powerful energetic alignment practice, then shares vulnerable stories, Divine downloads, and the surprising truth about scarcity thinking (hint: it's sneaky, but not your fault). You’ll learn how to shift from scarcity into sufficiency — not by doing more, but by being Present.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

· Why your "down moments" might actually mean you're ascending

· How to break free from scarcity loops without burning out

· Why Presence is more powerful than pressure

· Three simple, sacred practices to reconnect with your inner abundance

· How to spot signs of alignment that are already around you (even if you've been missing them)

Whether you’re in a season of transition, craving deeper meaning, or just tired of chasing your worth, this episode offers the spiritual reset your soul has been asking for.

You’ll walk away with grounded tools, renewed peace, and a glimpse of what’s waiting for you when you stop reaching… and start remembering.

This is the sacred beginning. And it changes everything.

How to...

Have you ever felt so lit up about your life—overflowing with joy, gratitude, and high-vibe energy—only to be met with a cold, “Wow…you’re such a Pollyanna,” or worse, “That’s toxic positivity”? Ouch. That kind of pushback can feel like a spiritual sucker punch.

In this powerful solo episode of The Abundance Journey, we unpack the surprising truth behind why your light might trigger someone else’s shadow—and how to respond without dimming your brilliance.

You’ll learn:

• What’s really going on neurologically and spiritually when someone resists your joy

• Why “positivity” can feel unsafe to people rooted in fear-based identity

• The difference between true compassion and spiritual bypassing

• How to validate someone’s pain without agreeing to their story

• Tools to stay aligned with your highest self and meet others where they are

This isn’t about fixing anyone. It’s about being the safe, steady presence that lets others reconnect with their own power. Because you don’t climb the mountain for someone—you just show them the view is worth it.
