From Overwhelmed to Anchored: Replacing the Lies of Motherhood with God’s Truth :: Erica Gwynn [Ep 544] :: Erica G

In this episode I chat with the lovely Erica Gwynn, author, podcaster, and mom about her new book That’s Just Not True. She shares how easily we start believing lies about our worth, purpose, and identity. From the pressure to “have it all together” to the quiet voice that whispers “you’re missing out” or “you’re not enough,” the conversation dives deep into how these thoughts take root — and how God’s truth brings freedom. Through honest stories and truth, Erica reminds us that you are not enough — but Jesus is enough. God hasn’t asked us to do everything; He’s gifted us to play our part in the body of Christ. Here is some of what we cover:

• 
  Turning ordinary (or in between) moments into “breath prayers” 
• Recognizing lies like: I’m missing out, I missed my shot, and I can manifest my dream life
• We talk about how mom’s can make their kids their whole life and identity
• How to shift worldly affirmations to Godly affirmations
• How social media has become a place of “curated messy” and fake authenticity
