Ever felt like you’re not enough? Like you don’t belong in the room or that your dreams are too big for you? That’s imposter syndrome, and it’s a tool the enemy uses to keep you playing small. In this episode of Dream Doers, we dive deep into the battle of the mind—how to slay the Satan dragon, how to quiet the negative voices, stand firm in your purpose, and recognize that you were handpicked for the calling placed on your heart.

I’ll share my own struggles with self-doubt, the surprising way writing has resurfaced in my life, and how taking risks (even when you feel unqualified) leads to clarity. We’ll also talk about rewiring your brain, trusting God’s timing, and making space for growth—because success isn’t about feeling ready, it’s about stepping forward anyway.

This one’s for anyone fighting fear, battling imposter syndrome, or wondering if they have what it takes. Spoiler: You do. Now, let’s talk about it.

Episode Highlights:

• Imposter syndrome is a lie, it only shows up when you're stepping into your purpose.

• The enemy attacks those who are a threat—if you're feeling resistance, it means you're on the right path.

• God placed your dreams in you for a reason—stop doubting and start trusting.

• Writing found me, even when I wasn’t looking—sometimes our true passions are hidden in plain sight.

• Rewiring your brain is possible—our habits and thoughts can be reshaped with intentionality.

• Processing emotions with God first—pause, write, and seek His wisdom before turning to others.

• Looking back reveals the bigger picture—everything connects, even when we don’t see it at first.

• The real risk? Not trying at all—what’s scarier: stepping into your purpose or wondering “what if” forever?
