Betsy Guerra explains reframing as the practice of rewriting the stories you tell yourself about your life. She moved from seeing herself as a grieving mother to the chosen mother of an angel after her daughter Fofi died, using spiritual imagery to transform her pain into purpose.

I literally would imagine, because I tell myself a lot of stories, that's what reframing is about. It's about telling yourself stories with intention because, spoiler alert, you have been telling yourself stories all along. They're just not good for you. So reframing is about changing the story that you unconsciously told yourself and you swear it's because it's reality and it's the truth to creating the story that's gonna serve and support you so that you may feel better and then do better for humanity. I went from the moping around grieving mom of a daughter who she couldn't keep alive to the chosen mother of an angel. And I imagine now that when Fofi goes to Jesus to ask for something that I've been praying about, Jesus looks at her and is like, "You are so cute. Whatever you want, Fofi. Whatever you want."
