106. Self Belief in Midlife


Listen Later

Are you holding onto old patterns that no longer serve you—and wondering if it’s too late to change? In this episode, we explore the powerful idea that transformation is always possible, no matter your age or history. In this episode, I sit down with bestselling author and inspirational teacher Caren Paskel to talk about what it really means to believe in yourself in midlife—and how that belief can radically shift your health, your energy, and your entire life direction. Caren’s story is a deeply moving example of growth through adversity. From identifying as a shy, introverted child to becoming a dynamic speaker and retreat leader, she shares how self-belief became her foundation—especially after the profound loss of her soulmate and husband.

Caren Paskel is a best-selling author, speaker, and founder of Caren Paskel Self-Evolution, Youthful Longevity Yoga Training and Retreat™, and the Self-Evolution Education (S.E.E.) Foundation. A master in Vedanta philosophy and a lifelong yoga practitioner—starting her growth journey at just 16—Caren has dedicated her career to guiding individuals toward holistic transformation, empowerment, and self-mastery. With decades of experience in yoga and spiritual education, she provides a practical roadmap for integrating ancient wisdom into modern life.

A firm believer in the power of mentorship and collective energy, Caren has inspired thousands through her Self-Evolution courses, retreats, and books, including The Power of Self-Belief. Her teachings focus on the eternal values of life, the path of yoga to self-realization, and the importance of breaking free from small thinking to step into one’s highest potential.

 

In this episode:

  • What it really means to believe in your higher self—not just your personality
  • The connection between self-belief and healthy aging
  • Why changing your “paradigm” is essential for long-term well-being
  • How proximity to inspiring people can spark your own inner transformation
  • The difference between self-esteem and true self-belief
  • How Caren’s caregiving journey became a catalyst for spiritual growth
