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!

Alexandra Kaval is a certified Christian coach for high impact women who crave more. She formerly worked in the corporate sector in HR talent development. Just four years ago she made the leap to go out on her own and build a coaching practice that would empower women with intentional Christ-centered support for their life and careers.

It’s difficult to know where to focus when you start out building a business or pursuing a dream, especially if you are doing it on your own. The list of to-dos is overwhelming and it’s difficult to gain traction as a one-woman operation.

When Christian coach Alexandra Kaval left a well-paying HR job in corporate America and started her coaching business, fear threatened to topple it all. Whether it was a fear of not being able to do it perfectly or of what people would think of her decision to leave safe and comfortable for a personal passion, she learned to lean into the discomfort and ask God for His help along the way.  

In the last few years, she has not only survived the transition but also thrived in her pursuit of a career serving Christian women in an authentic and meaningful way.

In this episode, I hope you’ll listen for nuggets of wisdom about:

  • How much we can benefit by digging in to the hard stuff in life & how the culture of “busy” tempts us to ignore it instead
  • New disciplines worth implementing, especially right now
  • How to re-focus worry and fear to a mindset of love and service
  • What to do with discouragement and doubt when it shows up, and
  • Why you ought to give your dream a sabbath every week.
