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!

How to Recognize Imposter Syndrome Before It Stops You

May 7, 2025

Why imposter syndrome is sneakier than you think

Ep 338 | Show notes are here: https://www.merrittonsa.com/podcast/338

Do you feel like you’ll never measure up?

If you have a God-shaped dream, maybe you’re familiar with the quiet voice in your head whispering, “Who am I to do this?” That’s imposter syndrome. And it’s likely been hanging around longer than you’ve known.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

🧠 A visualization exercise that helps you spot imposter syndrome creeping in

🎭 What imposter syndrome actually sounds like (and why it’s sneakier than you think)

🚀 Why identifying these lies early gives you back your momentum

Imposter syndrome doesn’t need a loud entrance to derail your dream. It often hides behind over-preparation, self-doubt, comparison, and fear. But once you know how to recognize it, you can interrupt the cycle and get back to the work God has called you to do.

Press play and be reminded: You’re not behind. You haven’t missed your chance. And your dream doesn’t depend on you being “ready”—just willing to trust the One who called you.

This one is for the woman who believes she is “not enough” to go after the dream God put on her heart. If that’s you, pay attention when I talk about Dreamers Unleashed, my live course/group coaching experience that will help you overcome perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and fear so you can walk in your God-given identity and purpose. It’s coming later this month and you don’t want to miss it!
