Years ago, I courageously quit an eleven-year job under my brother's wing. The company's mission no longer resonated with my core values, and I believed in myself enough to leap. Despite my brother's successful yoga studio, owning a business was daunting. I was uncertain what it would take to succeed, but I took the leap of faith anyway.
When I met my late husband, David Prentice, he believed in me more than I did. He tried to convince me that I was the brand and to use my name for the yoga studio. At the time, I was afraid and stayed small. I was not ready to fully commit to believing in myself. I was still hiding like the little five-year-old Caren who clung to her mom's leg and felt protected under her blanket, sucking her thumb. I was afraid to be fully seen and terrified of failing. EnSoul Yoga is the name I created to help me stand independently. It was a HUGE step in believing more in myself.
Then, a tragedy shook my world and awakened me in a way I never saw coming. The one person who believed in me the most, my beloved husband at thirty years old, died. This extreme circumstance became the catalyst for a profound transformation. I felt that the only way to go was up and that I could not let David down. As I continued on the path of Self-evolution, I was able to use every challenge to change for the better. I saw every obstacle as an opportunity to learn and grow. New doors opened with those that closed, especially during a global pandemic. The worst tragedies enabled the most significant transformations.
Now, I am following my true calling and purpose. I am no longer hiding behind a name that is not mine. I spent most of the pandemic growing and building a school for Self-Evolution Education. I have built a three-month Mental Training Course I: “11 CliffNotes on Happiness”, a one-year Mental Training Course II: “The Play-Ground Paradigm,” and a one-year Mental Training Mastermind III: “Light-Leadership Through Master Storytelling.” My clients and mentees are radically transforming leaders. We are spreading positivity to make a Universal positive impact. We are collaborating and co-creating a different world, personally and collectively.
David's inspiration propelled me beyond what I thought was possible. Through my teachings, teachers, gurus, and guides, I have evolved and experienced a monumental transformation. It feels like a metamorphosis. There have been lots of growing pains and outgrowth, but also a rebirth from my lower self to my higher Self. I now understand what David said: " Go BIG and go all the way!" Thank you, David. That is what I am doing every day.
My business is constantly creating and reshaping. The new logo is symbolic. The diamond represents inner brilliance, divinity, and union with our higher Self. The wings, my initials C & P mirrored, represent a butterfly or transformation. A brilliant butterfly exists in us all. Self-evolution is a HUGE umbrella for everything it takes to live your best life, make a massive impact, become a legacy, and live your vision of greatness.
I now fully believe in myself! I am a published author of “The Power of Self-Belief,” I have written The Power of Self-Love, The Power of Self-Realization, and “The Power of Self-Transformation Anthology.” I am an Inspirational Speaker, Spiritual Advisor, and founder of the non-profit organization S.E.E, “Self-Evolution Education Foundation.” I started a Self-Caregiving program to empower caregivers with self-care practices and ship them my book. My significant accomplishments thus far are not writing four books, speaking engagements, starting a non-profit, or manifesting the most abundant, transformational dream team for my success. I did not want to do any of this. It’s about what I chose to become: a butterfly. I decided that spreading positivity and inspiration through sharing my story was something I ought to do. There is so much that I can relay to the masses. So, why not?! More importantly, David’s mission was to help others. Now, I can fulfill his legacy as I live mine. No more hiding, no more staying small, and no more believing I am not good enough to go in my spiritual pursuit, personally and globally.
Thank you for your continued support and love of Self-evolution and for being a part of my mission to inspire and empower others to elevate collective consciousness one person at a time. You are greatly appreciated, and I could never have done this alone. We are a more potent force together. Become an inspirational lighthouse with me, and we shall brighten the globe.
We are looking forward to continuing our evolution and your metamorphosis!
Love and light,
