Welcome to another enlightening episode of Threads of Enlightenment! This discussion focuses on reframing life's perspective, emphasizing that life is a series of moments where we choose how to live each one. By embracing positive thinking and engaging in mind training, we can overcome sadness and appreciate life as a gift, fostering significant personal growth. 🚀

Elizabeth De Sevo is an author, speaker and coach dedicated to transforming the way we experience life by intentionally shaping our moments. Inspired by the sudden loss of her mother, she realized that life is a series of moments and we choose how to live them – now called “MOMents,” as reflected in her book Choose Your MOMents: Inspiration for Everyday Life.

Her “MOMents” Method is a unique approach that helps individuals and organizations embrace presence, intentionality and choice to create a more fulfilling life. With thought provoking insight and practical strategies, she guides people to break free from autopilot mode and make conscious, purpose-driven decisions that enhance their overall well-being.

In this enlightening conversation, Elizabeth De Sevo and I explore the profound themes of time, loss, and the importance of choosing how we live our moments. Elizabeth shares her personal journey of grief following the loss of her mother and how it inspired her book, 'Choose Your Moments.' They discuss the impact of family programming, the path to a career in psychology, and the lessons learned from working with athletes. The conversation emphasizes the power of intention, mindfulness, and the ability to make choices that enrich our lives, even in the face of adversity.
