From Seeking to Remembering: When Love Becomes Home

New Year 2026 Special

What if the healing you’ve been searching for was never missing—only waiting to be remembered?

In this New Year 2026 episode of Rooted & Rising, Dr. Cheri and co-host Ellice explore the quiet but profound shift from seeking healing to remembering what has always lived within you.

This episode moves beyond techniques, substances, and insight alone to focus on what truly heals: safety, integration, embodiment, and love.

Through a gentle guided meditation, clinical reflection, spiritual insight, and trauma-informed conversation, this episode invites listeners to soften effort, release striving, and rest into a deeper truth—that healing is not about becoming someone new, but returning home to yourself.

Whether you’re on a healing journey, working with trauma, or simply longing for more peace and connection in the year ahead, this episode offers grounding, compassion, and a felt sense of belonging.

Beginning Again — Creating Your Healing Blueprint for the Year Ahead

with Dr. Cheri & Ellice Boone

What if starting a new year didn’t require reinventing yourself… but simply choosing yourself more intentionally?

In this New Year 2026 special, Dr. Cheri and Ellice invite you into a gentler, more sustainable way of beginning again. Rather than resolutions driven by pressure or self-correction, this episode introduces the concept of a healing blueprint—a living, compassionate map that honors your nervous system, your lived experiences, and your desire for joy and wholeness.

Drawing on the wisdom from the first ten episodes of Rooted & Rising, this conversation weaves together grief, intuition, embodiment, strength, integration, and love—offering a grounded path forward that doesn’t ask you to start over, but to move forward with awareness, safety, and self-trust.
