The Devoted Dreamers Podcast


Whether you have a dream in your heart or aren’t sure what God might be calling you to, The Devoted Dreamers Podcast will encourage you on the journey. This space is dedicated to sharing stories every week of women who are following Jesus and pursuing their God-given gifts in beautifully imperfect ways. You’ll hear about the fears and challenges that threaten their dreams as well as the joy, courage and confidence that comes from following Jesus even in the unexpected…especially in the unexpected.

I’m your host, Merritt Onsa, and my prayer is that this show will meet you where you are in your walk with God. I hope you will come away from the podcast each week with encouragement to begin pursuing your own dreams even when you still feel flawed, imperfect, unfinished and not ready. Because if you wait until you are perfect, you will never take the first step. Join us!

This episode is the first of my bi-monthly Strategy Sessions with a listener who has a burning question to ask, needs help narrowing down her options, or just wants a listening ear so she can find clarity amidst all the options before her.

Natalie Arent is a brand and graphic designer with a knack for seeing what her clients struggle to put into words. She helps female entrepreneurs naturally standout, draw in their people, and propel their business forward through meaningful design. She’s a huge fan of authenticity, which you’ll hear about in this episode, and she’s also a mom, a Minnesota native and she loves doing art projects or exploring outside with her young daughter.

In this strategy session we dig into what it looks like (and why) to narrow down your niche of who you’re trying to reach with your dream or, in Natalie’s case, with a podcast. We talk about creating an avatar and share an example I’ve been taught for selecting just one person to speak to in your messaging.

Natalie’s big question is how to choose guests for her podcast and how to determine what topics they should cover when they come on the show. This is all about content curation. Even if you don’t have a podcast, write a blog, or have a YouTube channel your dream is speaking to someone, so it’s worth giving this a listen if you’re trying to narrow down who that person is.
