Send us Fan Mail~ Have you been holding back, waiting for the perfect plan or just the right timing to go after a dream? In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Erin Straza for an honest conversation about what it actually looks like to start something when you don't feel qualified, confident, or certain it's going to work.We talk about the real cost of perfectionism and why it will knock you out every time if you let it.In this episode we dig into:Why the momentum you're looking for comes from starting, not from waiting until you feel readyHow a simple outline, even just two to four things written down, can break the grip of feeling stuckWhy treating your early attempts as practice, not performance, changes everythingOne of the things Erin said that I keep coming back to is that we champion a child’s first steps because we're on the outside looking in and we know it’s bound to happen. We need that same encouragement too.If you're in a season where you feel stuck and you're longing for women who will walk with you toward your dream, I want you to know that's exactly why I built Dream Believers. It's a community of women who love Jesus, ask good questions, and show up for each other through the messy, faithful middle. Learn more at merrittonsa.com/dreambelieversAnd remember, the goal was never to be perfect. The goal is to be faithful to what God has given you right now.🔗 Connect with Erin StrazaWebsite: erinstraza.com/ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/erinstraza/ Devoted Dreamers is hosted by Merritt Onsa — Christian life coach, mentor, speaker, and founder of Dream Believers.
