89. This Isn’t Goodbye (but it kind of is): From Her Business Elevated to Soul Podcasting

This episode is a love letter. In this final chapter of Her Business Elevated (for now), I’m reflecting on the journey we’ve shared since 2021 — the conversations, the lessons, and the growth that’s happened both in business and in life. I’m revisiting the timeless truths that continue to guide my work as a woman entrepreneur: honoring your vision, building from your values, and remembering that you are your greatest asset. I also share why I’m pressing pause on this podcast, what “not playing small” looks like for me in this season, and where my energy is being called next. This isn’t a goodbye — it’s a season shift. And I’d love to continue the journey with you at Soul Podcasting. Thank you for being here. Thank you for growing with me. And as always — stay elevated, stay soulful, and keep shining.---💌 Stay Connected With Me:-Podcast Coaching & Membership): SoulPodcasting.com -Instagram: @soulpodcastingYou Can Also Support My Podcast This Way- Buy Me a Coffee Thanks!

87. Divine Redirection – When God Rewrites Your Business Plan

Hey friend — it’s Demetria here. If you’ve ever had those moments where your business feels like it’s shifting under your feet… where the passion is still there but the direction is changing… this next episode is for you. I’m opening up about something I don’t always talk about on the show — my faith. Not in a preach-at-you way, but in a real-life, this-is-what’s-been-guiding-me way. Because sometimes the biggest breakthroughs in business aren’t found in another strategy or another piece of software — they come from learning to listen. To reset. To realign. I’m sharing pieces of my own journey — how God has redirected my vision from Mompreneurs in Heels, to Her Business Elevated, and now to Soul Podcasting — and why stepping into a new season doesn’t mean abandoning the old one. It means letting your next chapter breathe. And if you’re navigating your own crossroads — whether it’s leveling up your business, shifting it into a side hustle, or even deciding it’s time to move on to a new passion altogether — I’ve got some heartfelt encouragement and four practical, grounded tips to help you move forward boldly. So plug in, take a breath, and join me for a conversation that’s all about clarity, confidence, and making room for divine redirection. Let’s grow — on purpose.-- 💌 Stay Connected With Me:-Website: HerBusinessElevated.com-Podcast Agency: SoulPodcasting.com-Instagram: @demetriazinga and @soulpodcasting🙏 If You Loved This Episode...I’d be so grateful if you left a rating and review on Apple Podcasts.
