Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Graceology with Gwen Smith podcast. I'm Gwen Smith, and I am so glad you've joined me today. Around here, we have fun, faith-focused, grace-filled conversations, all to help you know and trust God more. Our discussions are honest, often humorous, and always practical,

and they're going to encourage you in meaningful ways to live out and lean on the grace of Jesus

in a midst of cluttered messy days. You got any of those? I know I do, and I can't wait to get to

today's conversation, which is going to be an encouragement

for any woman who has ever felt like she is not good enough.

My guest today is Hollywood's favorite Godgirl, Carrie Pomeroli.

Carrie's a comedian, and she's a writer and a speaker who tours nationwide with clean

comedy at top Christian and secular venues.

And she is so much fun, y'all are going to love her.

Listen, we all know it gets exhausting, trying and failing to live up to those Pinterest-looking,

airbrush and insta-filtered, quote-unquote, real life and biblical role models.

But the good news is,

God isn't holding a competition for the perfect woman. Instead, he sees us where we are,

and he invites us into a greater story, one that is full of grace. In this episode, Carrie and I

have a laughter-filled heart-to-heart conversation about some things

in life that trip us up and the ways Jesus reaches out to pick us up.

You're going to love it.

What is up, Carrie? I am so stoked to have you on the Graceology podcast today.

Welcome.

I am sitting outside of my favorite store waiting for it's open, the dollar store, so I can go buy envelopes and plastic bags, which is like one of

the great thrills of my life besides doing your podcast today. So yes, I'm happy to be here.

Hey, we always start off my conversations with my guests. By putting you on a hot seat of sorts,
