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.

In this episode of Her Business Elevated, I chat with Jackie Klein—a former educator turned systems consultant and HoneyBook expert. Jackie shares her inspiring journey from teaching to tech, how COVID opened a new chapter for her, and how she leveraged her background to become a sought-after CRM consultant for women solopreneurs. We unpack what a CRM actually is, why HoneyBook has become her tool of choice, and how it can transform the back end of your business into a streamlined, automated machine. Jackie explains how she bridges tech with teaching to make HoneyBook easier to understand—and how her HoneyBook Success Network membership offers business owners the coaching, community, and tech support they need to confidently scale.

Inside this episode:

• Jackie’s pivot from the classroom to consulting after early retirement How a $1 HoneyBook trial changed her business trajectory

• The biggest myths about CRMs and automations—and how to reframe them

• Examples of automations every solopreneur should consider

Let’s be honest—rejection is hard. And if you’ve ever been ghosted by a potential client after pouring your heart into a pitch, I see you. I’ve been there. This week, I’m opening up about some of my own experiences with rejection in business and what I’ve learned about not taking it personally. In this episode, I’m walking you through:

-Why rejection is inevitable (and often not about you at all)
-How I learned to reframe a "no" into valuable feedback
-A powerful example from Myleik Teele (founder of CurlBox) on how rejection redirected her success
-How I protect my energy and detach from outcomes in order to stay resilient and focused

Plus, I’m shouting out a phenomenal entrepreneur and homeschool coach who’s showing up with so much clarity and purpose.

🌟 Featured Entrepreneur of the Week:
This week, I’m celebrating Tracy Kelly—a homeschool coach and educator who’s just revamped her tutoring page, and y’all, it looks amazing. We worked together recently to bring more clarity to her offerings, and I’m so proud of how confidently she’s stepping into her next season.

Hey hey, beautiful people — I’m back with a soul-stirring solo episode that’s short, direct, and straight from the heart. In this conversation, I’m challenging you (and reminding myself too): You are the brand. Now it’s time to lead like it. If you’ve ever found yourself playing small, overexplaining your worth, or just showing up “enough” to stay visible — this one's for you. I’m sharing a real moment in my business journey that pushed me to stop hiding behind content and start fully owning my authority. In this episode, I talk about:

• The panel moment that shifted how I saw myself as a leader
• How I went from “doing all the things” to building a boutique agency with purpose
• What it really means to lead like the brand you already are
• The 3 mindset shifts I made to stop chasing audiences and start setting the tone
• A visibility audit challenge to help you show up with boldness and clarity

Plus, I’ve got an exciting announcement: my former 1:1 coaching offer, Impact Podcast Coach, has officially evolved into a full-service agency — Soul Podcasting Collective — designed to support service providers, coaches, authors, and thought leaders who are ready to lead with their voice through podcasting. This episode isn’t about getting the perfect bio or going viral.
