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.
