On this episode, I’m exploring how gratitude can completely reshape your podcast strategy and the way you show up behind the mic. Instead of chasing metrics or forcing momentum, I’m breaking down how a simple shift in appreciation—for your voice, your listeners, your message, and the season you’re in—can unlock clarity, creativity, and direction. Gratitude grounds your podcast strategy in purpose, helps you refine what matters, and gives you the energy to build a show that feels soul-led rather than stressful. If you’ve been craving a more meaningful, sustainable approach to your podcast, you’ll want to dive into this one.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Hey, hey, my friend. Welcome back to yet another episode
of the Soul Podcasting Podcast, where a passion, purpose, and
grounded strategy come together to help you amplify your voice
without burning yourself out. I'm Demitria, founder of the Soul
Podcasting Collective, where my team and I support podcasters with
editing and production, and where I coach solopreneurs, creatives and
(00:35):
coaches who want to grow their podcasts with clarity and confidence.
And if you ever want to reach out to me directly,
you just head over to soulpodcasting dot com. You'll see
a little pink tab on the right side of the
screen or your desktop, and that's where you can drop
me a voice note, and who knows, I might just
feature it on an upcoming show. It truly makes my
day to hear your voices and know who's listening on
(00:57):
the other side of the mic. So don't be shy.
I love connecting with you here. So this week, with
Thanksgiving in the air for my us friends, honestly gratitude
already stirring in my heart, I just wanted to slow
things down a little bit and talk about something just
a bit deeper than strategy, Deeper than downloads and definitely
(01:17):
deeper than your content calendars. And that is the power
of gratitude in your podcasting journey. And I don't mean
the cliche kind of gratitude where we just list out
a few nice things and then we just move on.
I mean the kind that sits with you, that resonates
with you, the kind that reminds you why you're doing
what you're doing in the first place. I don't think
(01:40):
gratitude is soft or fluffy. It's not this little feeling
that you add on or sprinkle on top of your day.
I believe gratitude should be a part of our strategy
in our daily lives. I believe it's a mindset reset.
It's a reorientation back toward what matters when you've been
put in a dozen different directions, and podcasting, especially for solopreneurs,
(02:05):
can pull you in all those directions pretty easily. Some
seasons feel kind of heavy, Some feel foggy when you
don't know what's ahead of you. Some feel like you're
pushing through the mud and you can't get through to
the other side. And then you have those rare moments
when everything lines up and everything feels effortless. Those are
the moments that are worth noticing, and gratitude helps you
(02:29):
to notice when you're in the flow and things are
aligned for you. So today I want to unpack how
gratitude has shaped my own journey over the past two decades,
and how it can quietly reshape yours, especially if you've
been tired or overwhelmed or unsure or just sitting in
a place of transition. So let's go ahead and get
(02:50):
into it. So one of the biggest things that I'm
(03:11):
thankful for, truly thankful, is that I took that leap.
I took the leap into podcasting over twenty years ago.
It's wild to say that out loud sometimes, especially because
when I think back to that season of my life,
I was just I don't know. The word I want
to use is curious. I was just curious. I was eager.
I was hungry to learn from people who were older, wiser,
(03:36):
more experienced than me. And I was just a little
naive and very open to learning new strategies and ideas.
And that combination worked in my favor more than I
realized at the time, because back then, podcasting was not
this polished, mainstream medium with a thousand tutorials on YouTube
(03:56):
teaching you like which Mike to buy or how to
format your show. There were no top ten tips to
launch a podcast blog post back then. There weren't even
clear directions or definitions of what a podcast should be.
It was all very new. It was messy, it was
experimental by nature, and I honestly had no blueprint. But
(04:16):
something inside of me said, go ahead, start try see
what happens, and so I did. I didn't have the
fancy gear, I didn't have the polished sound, and I
definitely didn't have the confidence or the maturity to fully
understand what I was building. In fact, I might, even
now that I'm thinking about it, want to give just
(04:39):
a little synopsis of my timeline. Not another episode, of course,
not this one, but I'd like to maybe show my
timeline of what my podcast was like over the year,
So maybe auditing some of my old episodes. I might
go back and do that just for fun and also
just to put myself out there. I mean, it's gonna
be a little cringe and I'm going to be embarrassed,
(05:01):
but I think it'll be a fun episode to do.
So if you like that idea of my auditing my
old episodes from decades ago let me know. Of course,
you can reach out to me on my website like
I shared earlier, by leaving a voice note for me,
or just go to the contact page. But at any rate,
I knew that I had this desire to connect with people,
(05:23):
so that kind of took on a life of its own,
the fact that I wanted to connect, to learn from
others and to share what I was discovering. So at
the time, I was a stay at home, work at
home mama who was raising a toddler, and I was
deeply involved in almost idolizing the idea of being a
(05:45):
work at home mom because I was determined to be
home with my baby and raizer and take care of
her and not have to outsource daycare. So my idea
was to be home with her, but I needed work
while I was at home, so I was all into
the work at home moms, Yahoo groups and all the
things we had back in those days, and I was
(06:05):
finding loads of work from home. Also, my mindset at
the time was very education oriented because I was also
at the same time earning my master's degree. So I
was just really in a different phase of life where
I was open to learning and meeting people, and being
at home a lot meant that I did feel isolated
sometimes being at home with my kid, and I needed
(06:28):
that interaction and engagement with other adults, and so I
didn't have a lot of in person groups that I
was involved in. So being online and getting that kind
of interaction through the internet was the way that I
kind of fulfill that side of myself that was missing.
So I did have this overwhelming desire to connect with
people and learn with them. And when I think about
(06:50):
that girl, that girl in her mid twenties, that younger
version of me who said yes even without knowing what
the future held I said yes to podcasting, I'm deeply
grateful that she didn't overthink it, because if I had
waited for perfect I will still be waiting today, probably
if I'd waited for a roadmap, or for permission, or
for credentials or better equipment, for a better voice. And
(07:14):
believe you me, my voice has changed a lot over
the years. And I don't just mean my tone and
my messaging. I mean my literal voice has gone through
a boatload of changes. And so had I waited until
I thought, oh, I want to wait until my voice
is perfect. I never would have gotten on the mic,
or if I had waited for more experience, none of
this would exist right now. Soul podcasting would not have existed,
(07:36):
my early shows wouldn't have existed, the clients I've served
over the years wouldn't be in my orbit, and the
communities that formed around my work wouldn't exist. So taking
that leap changed everything. And sometimes the bravest thing that
you can do is just to begin. Sometimes the most
grateful version of you looks back and says, I'm so
(07:58):
glad I didn't talk myself out of that moment, and
that's what this season reminds me of. So I'm also
grateful number two for the information Age. Okay, I'm grateful
for the era that I grew up in as a solopreneur,
this wild, unpredictable, overwhelming, but incredibly generous era that we
(08:21):
call the Information Age. We talk a lot about the
downsides of being online, you know, the overload, the noise,
the pressure to keep up. But I can't ignore the
fact that so much of my learning, both personally and professionally,
happened because of the access that we had. I didn't
have a formal program or a big budget to get
trained in audio or digital marketing. And I didn't have
(08:44):
business mentors sitting next to me in real life. But
I had the Internet. I had search engines. I had
the early blogs and websites and wikis if you remember those.
I had online forums. I had YouTube tutorials before YouTube
even became what it is today. And then I had
other podcasters who were figuring it out too, like Dave Jackson,
who happened to be on my podcast a few months ago.
(09:06):
Really excited about that one. Go check it out when
you get a moment, and that is episode number fifty three.
I've been watching him and following his work for such
a long time, so it was really an honor to
talk with him. But I remember the pioneers like Dave,
and I started right along the same time as he did,
probably just about that time in two thousand and five.
(09:26):
But I was looking up to people like him to
kind of pave the way for me. And then, of course,
you know, I had people generous enough to just share
their processes online, and I absorbed everything that I could,
so the Internet became my teacher. And because of that,
I realized that knowledge isn't locked behind degrees or gatekeepers.
(09:46):
It's accessible, it's shareable, and if you're willing to be
a student, the universe will always give you a teacher.
Where there's a student, the teacher shows up, even if
that teacher is a stranger on the Internet who took
the time to record a tutorial at two am. And
when I think about the businesses that I've built over
the years, the online communities, the multiple podcasts, the courses
(10:09):
I've taught, the coaching, the tech tools, all the editing
workflows that I've developed, the relationships I've created, and have
had the opportunity to have all of it happened because
we live in a time when information is accessible. So
have I been overwhelmed at times? Yes? Absolutely have I
had to learn how to filter, to discern, to pause,
(10:33):
rethink my strategies, or even unplugged for a season one
thousand percent. But even that is part of the journey
because the information age, for all of its flaws, shaped
me into a creator who's resourceful, adaptable, and always learning,
and so I'm really grateful for that. And thirdly, I'm
(10:54):
grateful for the virtual communities that formed around every single
project and brand that I've created over the past twenty
plus years. You know, one thing you learn very quickly
when you create online is that connection is the glue.
It's the heartbeat. Really, it's the thing that holds everything together,
even when the numbers don't always reflect what you're building.
(11:15):
So over the years, there's always been a small but
mighty group of people who showed up consistently, people who
resonated with my message, who understood the heart behind my work,
who rooted for me even when I changed directions or
experimented with something new. These are people who sent messages
at random moments that landed at exactly the right time.
(11:36):
People who shared episodes with their friends and encouraged me
when I felt tired or simply listened, which honestly means
more than most podcasters realize. Those communities, whether big or small,
or formal or informal, tight knit or spread out across
the Internet, have really carried me through seasons when I
questioned whether I should keep going. They've anchored me when
(11:58):
things felt uncertain, and they've reminded me that podcasting is
not just about numbers and strategy or trends. It's really
about people. It's about impact, it's about voice, and I
never take that lightly, not for a second. The relationships
that have formed through this work, the friendships, the collaborations,
(12:19):
the clients turned friends, the people who have stuck with
me through multiple rebrands and evolutions, and there have been
a lot. That's the part of podcasting that I don't
ever want to overlook. So to anyone listening today who's
been a part of my journey in any way, I
just want to say thank you, truly thank you. And
that said, before I start wrapping up, I do want
(12:41):
to highlight a beautiful review from my friend de Lake,
who wrote this stellar content encouraging Vibes. I started listening
to Soul Podcasting as part of my preparation for launching
my own first podcast. I didn't know what to expect
at first, but I found Demetria style warm, engaging and
encouraging to meet you. Is incredibly pragmatic and open about
(13:02):
her own journey and generously shares her best practices while
recognizing that everyone's situation is different. I'm the type of
person who likes to be prepared, and her content speaks
to podcasters and aspiring podcasters about marketing best practices, leveraging
tools to drive decisions, based on data and finding your
authentic brand. Strongly recommend Elaine, thank you so much for
(13:27):
taking the time to share this and to leave a review.
You have no idea how meaningful it is to read
your words and to know that this podcast supported you
in your own launch journey, and that's exactly why I
show up here, So I'm really grateful for you. Thank
you for that, And for those of you who haven't
checked it out yet, make sure you go check out
(13:47):
The Musician's Loop, which is the podcast that Elaine co
hosts with trist Kurlis, and every week they listen to
a song together and then they break it down through
decades of their combined industry experience. So they go through
like musicianship and the arrangement of the songs, the songwriting,
the chords, the technology, all of it. So it's one
(14:09):
of those shows that reminds you how rich music really
is when you understand what's happening behind the scenes. And
I enjoyed their first episode and I am subscribed to
their podcast now, so you can follow them on all
of the podcast platforms or visit them at their website,
which is The musicians looploupe dot com. Check out Elaine's podcast,
(14:33):
and as we head into the Thanksgiving holiday here in
the US, I'm recording this the last somewhere close to
the last week of November. I want to wish my
US based listeners a warm and RESTful, deeply refreshing holiday.
I hope you get a moment to breathe and to
pause and to just enjoy some good food and better
company and create just a little bit of space in
(14:54):
your week for gratitude, even if things are busy or
complicated or messy. And for those of you my friends
listening from all around the world, even if you're not
celebrating this Thanksgiving holiday, this is still a perfect moment
to reflect on your own journey and think about what
podcasting has brought into your life so far. That's the growth,
(15:16):
the confidence, the opportunities you've had, the people you've met,
the ideas that you've explored, the perspectives that have shaped you.
Because podcasting does open doors and it stretches you. It
definitely challenges you, and it gives you experiences that you
never expected to have. And I'll be taking a small
Thanksgiving break myself, just a chance to rest and recharge
(15:38):
and get grounded. But I will be back right after
with new content, and I also have some exciting updates
coming about what's next for Soul Podcasting. I've been quietly
working on something behind the scenes that I'm so excited about.
I think I might have let the cat out of
the bag on the last episode, but I can't wait
to share more with you in the upcoming weeks. And
in the meantime, if you're taking a break, this is
(16:01):
a great time to catch up on a few episodes
from the Soul Podcasting archive, and there's a lot there.
There's foundational lessons, there's some strategy breakdowns, and episodes about
creativity and courage and clarity, and I hope that they
give you that little spark or encouragement that you need
for the next part of your journey. And if an
episode hits home for you, I would really love to
(16:24):
hear about it. It means more to me than you know.
And of course, if you need support on your podcasting path,
my door is always open. Whether you want a quick
coffee chat or you're ready for a deeper dive into coaching,

have I been overwhelmed at times? Yes? Absolutely have I
had to learn how to filter, to discern, to pause,
(10:33):
rethink my strategies, or even unplugged for a season one
thousand percent. But even that is part of the journey
because the information age, for all of its flaws, shaped
me into a creator who's resourceful, adaptable, and always learning,
and so I'm really grateful for that. And thirdly, I'm
(10:54):
grateful for the virtual communities that formed around every single
project and brand that I've created over the past twenty
plus years. You know, one thing you learn very quickly
when you create online is that connection is the glue.
It's the heartbeat. Really, it's the thing that holds everything together,
even when the numbers don't always reflect what you're building.
(11:15):
So over the years, there's always been a small but
mighty group of people who showed up consistently, people who

things felt uncertain, and they've reminded me that podcasting is
not just about numbers and strategy or trends. It's really
about people. It's about impact, it's about voice, and I
never take that lightly, not for a second. The relationships
that have formed through this work, the friendships, the collaborations,

the clients turned friends, the people who have stuck with
me through multiple rebrands and evolutions, and there have been
a lot. That's the part of podcasting that I don't
ever want to overlook. So to anyone listening today who's
been a part of my journey in any way, I
just want to say thank you, truly thank you. And
that said, before I start wrapping up, I do want
(12:41):
to highlight a beautiful review from my friend de Lake,
who wrote this stellar content encouraging Vibes. I started listening
to Soul Podcasting as part of my preparation for launching
my own first podcast. I didn't know what to expect
at first, but I found Demetria style warm, engaging and
encouraging to meet you. Is incredibly pragmatic and open about
(13:02):
her own journey and generously shares her best practices while
recognizing that everyone's situation is different. I'm the type of
person who likes to be prepared, and her content speaks
to podcasters and aspiring podcasters about marketing best practices, leveraging
tools to drive decisions, based on data and finding your
authentic brand. Strongly recommend Elaine, thank you so much for
(13:27):
taking the time to share this and to leave a review.
You have no idea how meaningful it is to read
your words and to know that this podcast supported you
in your own launch journey, and that's exactly why I
show up here, So I'm really grateful for you. Thank
you for that, And for those of you who haven't
checked it out yet, make sure you go check out
(13:47):
The Musician's Loop, which is the podcast that Elaine co
hosts with trist Kurlis, and every week they listen to
a song together and then they break it down through
decades of their combined industry experience. So they go through
like musicianship and the arrangement of the songs, the songwriting,
the chords, the technology, all of it. So it's one
(14:09):
of those shows that reminds you how rich music really
is when you understand what's happening behind the scenes. And
I enjoyed their first episode and I am subscribed to
their podcast now, so you can follow them on all
of the podcast platforms or visit them at their website,
which is The musicians looploupe dot com. Check out Elaine's podcast,
(14:33):
and as we head into the Thanksgiving holiday here in
the US, I'm recording this the last somewhere close to
the last week of November. I want to wish my
US based listeners a warm and RESTful, deeply refreshing holiday.
I hope you get a moment to breathe and to
pause and to just enjoy some good food and better
company and create just a little bit of space in
(14:54):
your week for gratitude, even if things are busy or
complicated or messy. And for those of you my friends
listening from all around the world, even if you're not
celebrating this Thanksgiving holiday, this is still a perfect moment
to reflect on your own journey and think about what
podcasting has brought into your life so far. That's the growth,
(15:16):
the confidence, the opportunities you've had, the people you've met,
the ideas that you've explored, the perspectives that have shaped you.
Because podcasting does open doors and it stretches you. It
definitely challenges you, and it gives you experiences that you
never expected to have. And I'll be taking a small
Thanksgiving break myself, just a chance to rest and recharge
(15:38):
and get grounded. But I will be back right after
with new content, and I also have some exciting updates
coming about what's next for Soul Podcasting. I've been quietly
working on something behind the scenes that I'm so excited about.
I think I might have let the cat out of
the bag on the last episode, but I can't wait
to share more with you in the upcoming weeks. And
in the meantime, if you're taking a break, this is
(16:01):
a great time to catch up on a few episodes
from the Soul Podcasting archive, and there's a lot there.
There's foundational lessons, there's some strategy breakdowns, and episodes about
creativity and courage and clarity, and I hope that they
give you that little spark or encouragement that you need
for the next part of your journey. And if an
episode hits home for you, I would really love to
(16:24):
hear about it. It means more to me than you know.
And of course, if you need support on your podcasting path,
my door is always open. Whether you want a quick
coffee chat or you're ready for a deeper dive into coaching,
you can explore everything Atsoulpodcasting dot com, slash services reach

(16:47):
and thank you for walking this journey with me. Happy podcasting,

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
