Erica Gifford Mills is an international speaker, award-winning and international best-selling author, certified empowerment coach, and dynamic talk radio host. She is also the visionary founder of Balanced Symmetree, a transformational coaching and leadership platform created to help high-performing women break free from burnout, reconnect with their purpose, and cultivate deeply rooted, fulfilling lives—both personally and professionally.
Recognized for her impact on the global stage, Erica has been featured on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, Apple News, and Google News, and was named one of 2023’s Top 10 Female Mindset & High-Performance Coaches Disrupting the Self-Help Industry. She’s also been highlighted by MSN News as one of 10 Visionary Entrepreneurs Driving the Future of Their Industries.
Erica brings a powerful blend of expertise and heart to her work. She holds three master’s degrees—in Management, Human Resource Management, and Military Psychology—and is certified in life, business, and empowerment coaching. Her holistic, integrative approach combines psychology, personal development, and leadership to support women in building lives and careers grounded in clarity, confidence, and purpose.
After nearly 30 years in the legal, regulatory, and corporate compliance sectors—working with government agencies, legal offices, and private corporations—Erica made a bold and deeply personal decision: to stop following the path she was “supposed” to walk and begin living in full alignment with her passion. That decision led to the creation of Balanced Symmetree, where she now empowers women through transformational workshops, international speaking engagements, radio interviews, and both individual and group coaching programs.
As a thought leader in rooted leadership, emotional resilience, personal growth, and women’s empowerment, Erica uses her voice and her story to help others rise into their highest, most authentic selves.
Her proudest role, however, is being a devoted mother to an incredible son. Outside of her professional work, Erica enjoys hiking, kayaking, volunteering, and spending quality time with her family. She currently resides in Wisconsin.
This isn’t just about living a balanced life. It’s about living a rooted one, aligned, intentional, and unapologetically yours. At Balanced Symmetree, we believe true change begins from the inside out. Whether navigating a life transition, stepping into leadership, or rediscovering your purpose, this is your invitation to come home to yourself, stop surviving and start thriving, to rise, not from hustle but from healing.
Here, we don’t just talk about growth.
We nurture it. Cultivate it. Live it.
If you’re ready to lead with strength, live with clarity, and let go of what no longer serves you, welcome home. You’re in the right place.

Now, it’s your turn.
I’m an author, speaker, and advocate for women who want to live more balanced and purposeful lives. Through my books, I share the lessons I’ve learned on my own journey—lessons about confidence, leadership, and embracing your true self.
Join me the 1st & 3rd Monday of each month at 2 pm PT / 4 pm CT / 5 pm ET for Get Rooted Radio w/Erica Gifford Mills – Living It Up, Loving It Up, Letting It Go! on Transformation Talk Radio.
My goal is to uplift and empower you to live the life you love.
To take care of yourself and advocate for yourself in order to live a more fulfilled life and better care and love those around you.
Your journey is uniquely yours—crafted by your experiences, your dreams, and the quiet strength within you. It won’t always be easy. It will take courage, commitment, and resilience. But I promise you this: it will be worth it. And more importantly, you are worth it.
I am here to walk beside you—not to lead you, not to push you, but to empower you. To hold space for your growth, your healing, and your transformation. My mission is to provide you with unwavering support, honest accountability, and a deep understanding as you rise into the most authentic, powerful version of yourself.
