Erin Zandstra
HI, I'm Erin!
I know what it’s like to look like you have it all together while quietly struggling on the inside.
For years, I knew how to show up.
I could handle responsibilities, take care of the people around me, keep moving forward, and appear completely fine from the outside.
But what people saw wasn't always what I was experiencing internally.
There were seasons when I felt overwhelmed, disconnected, and caught in patterns that weren't aligned with the woman I knew God was calling me to be.
For me, one of those patterns involved alcohol.
What began as something I could seemingly manage eventually became part of a much deeper struggle. And although alcohol was visible on the surface, I began to understand that simply changing a behavior wasn't enough.
I needed to get to the root.
I had to look at what I believed about myself, what I was carrying, where I was looking for relief, and the ways I had allowed circumstances, emotions, and other people's expectations to influence my identity.
Most importantly, I had to come back to the truth of God's Word.
Not simply knowing Scripture.
Living it.
MY LIFE BEGAN TO CHANGE WHEN I CHANGED WHAT I WAS ROOTED IN.
I began learning that peace doesn't come from finally getting everything under control.
Confidence doesn't come from having everyone's approval.
And clarity doesn't come from having every detail of your future figured out.
They come from knowing whose you are, learning to recognize God's truth above all the other voices competing for your attention, and allowing that truth to influence the way you actually live.
That journey changed far more than one area of my life.
It changed the way I saw myself.
And ultimately, it became the reason I created Rooted365.
Why Rooted365?
Psalm 1 describes a person rooted in God's truth as:
“...a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.”
— Psalm 1:3
I love that picture because the tree isn't promised a life without changing seasons.
It's strong because of where it's planted.
That's what I want for the women I mentor.
Not a perfect life.
Not a life without stress, difficult decisions, disappointment, or unexpected seasons.
But a life so deeply rooted in God's truth that you don't lose yourself every time circumstances change.
Today, I Walk Alongside Women Who Are Ready for Something Different
Through Rooted365, I provide private, Scripture-based one-on-one mentorship for successful Christian women who look like they have it all together but privately feel overwhelmed, mentally scattered, or unsure of themselves.
I'm not here to tell you how to live your life.
I'm here to walk alongside you as we uncover what's keeping you stuck, examine it through the truth of Scripture, and help you begin making intentional changes that align with the woman God created you to be.
Because I believe there's a difference between knowing God's truth and building your life on it.
And you don't have to wait until everything falls apart to decide you want something different.
You can become rooted now.
Rooted in truth.
Rooted in your identity in Christ.
Rooted in peace, confidence, and clarity.
365 days a year.
