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!

Is Imposter Syndrome Keeping You Stuck? Here's How to Know

May 14, 2025

Ep 339 | Show notes are here: https://www.merrittonsa.com/podcast/339

Have you ever had an idea but you shut it down before it even had a chance?

Maybe you think to yourself, “Someone else is already doing this,” or “What if no one’s interested?” or “Maybe later, when I’m more experienced.” That hesitation? That voice of doubt? It might be imposter syndrome.

In this episode, we take a deeper look at the subtle ways imposter syndrome keeps you stuck. It’s not always loud or obvious. Often, it masquerades as fear, hesitation, or “just being realistic.” But if left unchecked, it will silence your God-given calling before you even begin.

You’ll learn:
🕵️ The hidden ways imposter syndrome shows up when you're about to step into your calling
🚫 Why trying to believe you are enough doesn’t actually help—and what will
🧬 How imposter syndrome attacks your identity at the root

If you’re tired of spinning in the cycle of idea → doubt → shut down → repeat, this episode will help you name what’s really going on so you can finally do something about it.

 

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:

If finding a better way to tackle imposter syndrome would help you move forward, my course Dreamers Unleashed is for you. It'll 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, so come to the free workshop on May 20th to learn more:
