We are diverse individuals with a unique life path and purpose. Our current culture has us looking outside of ourselves to find our health, happiness and wealth. We are never going to find satiation and wholeness outside of ourselves. Join Erica Gifford Mills with her guest, Christin Collins, as they discuss finding happiness, health and abundance within. To experience a life of optimal wellbeing and vibrancy, we must turn inward to reconnect with who we are and why we are here. We must get comfortable in our own skin, and truly love ourselves. Sitting in the present moment, experiencing all of the emotions that bubble up, releasing and heal from the past and things we do not control, and opening up our hearts...we reconnect with who (and why) we are, and know and love ourselves. It is from this place of self-love, care and actualization we can then show up in community. Our stress reduces. We intuitively know how to fuel our mind, body and spirit. We can release judgement of others who are different than us, and not be threatened by these differences. And we can live our life on point, in flow with our unique purpose. We then interconnect at home, at work, and in community as whole beings. The keys to health, happiness and abundance are already inside of us. All we have to do is be. And from this present moment...we can reconnect with our inner knowing and return to love.

Join Erica Gifford Mills, with her guest Dorothy Martin-Neville, Ph.D., as they discuss how our passion, joy, and success is dependent upon our willingness to take risks, bring all of who we are to the table, and letting that good girl inside go.

COVID-19 changed everything in healthcare. We now work within our demanding caring professions and in an atmosphere of persistent uncertainty.

During this episode of Get Rooted Radio, join Erica Gifford Mills, as she discusses the month of gratitude and NO vember. November is the month of Gratitude. Gratitude is more than simply saying thank you. Gratitude s amazing powers have the ability to shift us from focusing on the negative to appreciating what is positive in our lives. Practicing daily gratitude gives us a deeper connection to ourselves and the world around us. November is also NO vember. Unfortunately, many of us are unaware of the multitude of things slow us down. All the low value, time-consuming activities we agree to they build up and stop us from getting to what is most important. I can t think of a better time than No vember to start to reverse that trend.
