Summary

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

and connect you with people and resources so you know that you don't mom alone.

0:19.9

And this week, I am welcoming to the show, Erica Gwynn.

0:23.6

It's actually not my job to be enough because somebody else literally hung on across to be enough

0:29.5

instead. Like, is that enough for you? Because if so, you could be living and thinking totally

0:34.9

differently. Like, the pressure's off, girl. Like, you don't need to be everything for everybody. And I think moms need to hear that because we,

0:44.0

even unintentionally, even subconsciously, it's so easy to slip into, we try to be enough for

0:50.4

everybody. And usually it's at the expense of ourselves. Erica is a mom of two and one on the way. She's a podcaster at Thrive Podcast. And she's an author.

1:00.7

She's been writing over at Coming Up Roses, a blog and also has several books. And one we're

going to talk about today is called That's Just Not True. So often in motherhood, we have tasks and they can be overwhelming,

1:12.8

but on top of that, we have the mental load, the burden of all of these things we've been

believing, oftentimes lies, lies about missing out, lies about not about being enough.

1:25.8

1:28.8

And our hope is that we lighten the load for you.

We shine a light on what you maybe have been believing and not aware of and that we bring

truth.

1:39.9

Erica has wonderful things to say to encourage your mom heart today.

1:44.1

So let's get right to it.

1:45.5

Here we go. Erica, welcome to the Don't Mom Alone podcast. Well, thank you, Heather. I am so,

1:53.0

so happy to be here. My best friend growing up was named Erica. No way. I'm big fans. That's so

fun. It's not really that, not really that common. Was it a C or a C? Not in your age group, but in my age group, there were some Erica's out there. Wow. A C or A C. A C.R. A C. She did have a K. I know. Okay. That's fair. We won't knock her too much. Oh my goodness. Well, it is a delight
