Have you ever been excited to share something—a post, a message, a video—only to freeze the moment you're about to hit “publish”? That sudden contraction isn’t a confidence problem or a mindset failure. It’s your nervous system having a temper tantrum, and how you respond determines whether you open to abundance or shut it down completely.

In this powerful New Year’s episode, Elaine Starling reveals how your subconscious uses your body to signal safety or danger, why visibility often feels threatening, and how to shift from contraction into coherence so abundance can flow again. Inspired by Korean parenting techniques, neuroscience, and Divine guidance, Elaine teaches you how to lead your Inner Child with loving presence instead of pressure or perfection.

If you’re ready for 2026 to be your year of expansion, clarity, and courageous self-expression, this Abundance Upgrade will show you how to align your energy, regulate your nervous system, and say YES to the opportunities already waiting for you.
