Purpose Doesn’t Retire: Faith, Joy & Reinventing Life at Any Age with Carol Walkner | #195
Fri Feb 06 2026
In this heart-opening episode of the UpliftHER Leadership Series on the Self-Care Goddess Podcast, I had the absolute joy of speaking with Carol Walkner a Reiki Master, clairvoyant, medical medium, and living embodiment of what it means to trust life fully and boldly at every stage.
After a remarkable 38-year career in corporate America, Carol made a courageous pivot, trading boardrooms for energy work and spiritual healing. Now in her 80s, she guides clients around the world toward deeper joy, alignment, and wellbeing proving that purpose doesn’t retire, and neither does magic.
This conversation was equal parts grounding, expansive, and deeply inspiring. From nervous system wisdom and energy protection, to faith, joy, abundance, and redefining success, Carol shared powerful insights drawn from lived experience, spiritual practice, and unwavering trust in the universe.
This episode is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeper, trust more, and remember who you truly are.
✨In this soulful and illuminating conversation, we explored:
✅Clairvoyance, guides, angels, and how to connect with your own inner wisdom
✅Protecting your energy without living in fear
✅Why mindset matters more than protection rituals
✅Burnout, balance, and creating harmony through integration, not perfection
✅Simple self-care practices for busy women — even with a full schedule
✅Faith, trust, and surrendering control to allow life to unfold
✅Redefining success, abundance, and prosperity through joy and purpose
✅Why joy lives inside us while happiness is often external
✅Hope, gratitude, and choosing light even after dark chapters
✅Teaching the next generation of women to trust their power, truth, and intuition
✅Living boldly, aging vibrantly, and leading with heart-centered wisdom
