That’s Just Not True with Erica Gwynn | Episode 346
Are you carrying the weight of expectations, comparison, or hustle culture—and wondering why it still feels so heavy? You’re not alone.
In this episode, I sit down with author Erica Ligenza Gwynn to talk about the lies we’ve believed for far too long and the freedom that comes when we finally replace them with God’s truth.
Together, we unpack common cultural mantras like “If I’m not hustling, I’m lazy” or “My feelings are my truth”—and why they leave us stuck, burned out, and empty. Erica shares how recognizing and rejecting these lies opened the door for her to live with authenticity, purpose, and joy in Christ.
If you’ve ever thought, “It’s happening for everyone but me” or “I’m too messy to be loved,” this conversation is for you. You’ll walk away encouraged to spot the subtle lies shaping your story and equipped with biblical truths that offer real freedom.
This is a hope-filled, honest chat for any woman ready to stop striving and start living in the unshakable truth of who God says she is.
