She reminds women that the hard stuff can still be good stuff, and it’s actually not all on you to get it right or make it happen (whew, what a relief).

Erica is the author of That’s Just Not True: How to Replace the Lies You Didn’t Know You Believed with God’s Unchanging Truth, host of the THRIVE Podcast, and founder of Coming Up Roses - an online blog and community rooted in the belief that every rose has its thorn, and it’s up to us to pick our perspective accordingly.
