Dream Doers Podcast

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 impostor 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?

Life is unpredictable. One moment, you’re building something beautiful—a business, a family, your dreams. The next? A storm hits. And suddenly, you’re fighting just to keep your head above water.

Jana knows that feeling. She'd lived it. In the past 5-10 years, she's faced more than she ever thought she could handle— letting go family and friends, death, experiencing betrayal, divorce, trauma, violence, shootings, robbery… Moments that could have broke her.

But here’s what she's learned: storms don’t have to sink you. Then again… maybe they do!

Jana shares when, how and why to let go… of who, and of what.

This episode will leave you feeling encouraged because.. you WILL rise, you can rebuild, and you CAN thrive through the hardest seasons of your life. It’s true. Her testimony is living proof.

And that’s exactly what this podcast is all about.

Host Jana Marie is not a professional speaker, just a real person who’s been through the fire and came out on (and in some ways still coming out) the other side. As a glassblower continues to refine their masterpiece by dipping it in the fire until all the imperfections are gone, so are we being refined in the fire.

This episode begins sets the stage for the authentic, untouchable conversations we SHOULD be having—the truth about sustaining your personal and business dreams through life’s hardest seasons. And it begins with Jana’s story.

Jana goes down deep under the surface about who she has been up until this point, what she struggles with, she shares a bit of her personal stories and what her turning points were to change her entire life for the better (mostly unwillingly, until she jumped ship), some of the best advice she’s received these last few years and what her goals for this podcast are.

With a powerful, authentic and vulnerable intro for Episode one, you’ll surely be left with a mix of emotions from feeling in awe, in shock, empowered, encouraged and excited for what’s to come in the next episodes.
