Elena Joy was the ultimate suburban housewife complete with four kids, minivan, and successful husband. But a slow burn began when her youngest went to kindergarten which resulted in a bombshell explosion that left nothing unchanged. Through mindfulness (and conversion therapy), Life 2.0 began. Elena Joy is a motivational speaker, transformational retreat leader, and author. She has been interviewed on podcasts such as Wellness Lately, Exists Brightly, and Mormon Happy Hour. Elena Joy lives in Arizona with her family and attack-cat and enjoys fly fishing around the world. To learn more about her and join her next retreat, visit www.elenajoyexperience.com. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
