In this episode of the Brandon T. Adams Audio Experience, I sat down with Erica Gifford Mills, an international speaker, award-winning author, and founder of Balance Symmetree. Erica has one of the most powerful stories I’ve ever heard.

She spent 30 years in the corporate world, overcame breast cancer, and faced the unimaginable pain of losing her son. In this conversation, she opens up about hitting rock bottom, turning to alcohol, and ultimately choosing to live with purpose... for herself and in honor of her son’s legacy.

We talk about:
- How to set boundaries without guilt
- What “living, loving, and letting go” really looks like
- How she helps people reclaim their peace and power
- Her message to anyone going through trauma, cancer, grief, or burnout
- The mindset shifts that helped her rebuild her life from the inside out

Erica is also a co-author in our upcoming book "Impact Leaders" alongside Kevin Harrington. Check out her chapter on Rooted Leadership.
