The Power of Self-Belief: A true story of love, loss, and the belief that carried me through — by Caren Paskel
The Power of Self-Belief: A true story of love, loss, and the belief that carried me through — by Caren Paskel
When my husband David was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, I had a choice: to live in the pain of what was lost, or the power of what remained. I chose to believe. This is the story of that choice — and the belief that rebuilt my entire life.
The Power of Self-Belief is my true story, interwoven with the timeless teachings that carried me through the most profound loss of my life.
It begins with a diagnosis no one is ready for — my husband David, terminal brain cancer, one year after our wedding in Italy. What follows is the real, unfiltered journey through caregiving, a pandemic, the closing of my studios, his passing, and everything that came after. But this is not a book about dying. It's a book about believing — and how the choice to believe in yourself can transform your life on every level: physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially.
At the close of every chapter, you'll find a Power-Thought and a Power-Quote — the essential lessons distilled from each moment of the story, so you don't just read them, you live them. These are the beliefs that took me over two decades to embody, offered to you here in one place.
This is the book I wish I'd had years ago. It's for anyone standing at the crossroads between the pain of what was lost and the power of what's still possible.
With self-belief, anything is possible. Without it, everything is impossible.
From survival mode to truly feeling alive.

A note from Caren
I wrote this book in the years surrounding David's passing — it holds our story exactly as it was. I've grown and evolved since, as we all do. But I've left these words as they were written, because they're true to who I was when I needed them most. I hope they meet you where you are.
