Ep 113113. Why We Need More Women Podcasters — And How You Can Support Them
In this special Women’s History Month episode of Soul Podcasting Collective, I’m reflecting on something that’s been on my mind after more than two decades behind the mic: women make up about half of podcast listeners, yet far fewer are hosting the shows that shape the conversation.In this shorter episode, I explore what the research says about women in podcasting, why representation still matters, and how each of us — whether we’re creators or listeners — can intentionally support women’s voices in this space.I also highlight a few inspiring women who are building meaningful impact in the podcasting world and share why their work matters for the future of this medium.This episode is part of Podcasthon, a global initiative where thousands of podcasts come together for one week to spotlight charities.

Ep 109109. Build a Podcast That Fits Your Life (Not the Other Way Around)
In this episode, I’m sharing one of the most important lessons I’ve learned after more than a decade behind the mic: your podcast should serve your life, not consume it. I open up about the seasons when I was exhausted, overcommitted, and quietly wondering if “consistency” was costing me too much — and how I eventually redesigned my workflow, boundaries, and recording rhythm to protect my energy and creativity. If you’ve ever felt stretched thin trying to keep up with your show, this conversation will help you build a podcast that feels sustainable, strategic, and aligned with the life you actually want to live.///📹Watch Soul Podcasting on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@demetriazinga🎁 Download the Launch Confidently Podcasting Checklist and join the Fearless Podcast Launch here: https://soulpodcasting.com/resources/Join Captivate for awesome podcast hosting!

Ep 108108. The Invisible Work of Podcasting: What No One Sees
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the invisible work of podcasting — the late nights, the editing marathons, the content planning, the outreach emails, the strategy shifts, and the emotional labor that no one applauds but absolutely matters. From the outside, a podcast can look effortless. You press record, you publish, and that’s it — right? Not even close. I’m sharing what really goes on behind the scenes, the discipline and clarity it takes to stay consistent, and why this unseen work is actually what separates hobbyists from leaders. If you’ve ever felt like your effort is going unnoticed, this episode will remind you that the invisible work is building something bigger than you think.///📹Watch Soul Podcasting on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@demetriazinga🎁 Download the Launch Confidently Podcasting Checklist and join the Fearless Podcast Launch here: https://soulpodcasting.com/resources/Join Captivate for awesome podcast hosting!

Ep 107107. The Podcast Identity Crisis: Why Most Shows Stall After 20 Episodes
Most podcasts don’t fail dramatically — they stall quietly. In Episode 107, I’m unpacking what I call the podcast identity crisis — that subtle drift that happens around episode 20 when momentum fades, clarity blurs, and you start questioning whether your show is actually moving the needle. I share personal lessons from my own podcasting journey, including the moments I realized I was producing content that was interesting but not strategically aligned. We’ll break down why alignment matters more than downloads, how shows lose direction without you noticing, and the exact reset framework I use to regain clarity, energy, and momentum. If your podcast feels scattered, stagnant, or slightly off-track — this episode will help you realign and move forward with purpose.///📹Watch Soul Podcasting on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@demetriazinga🎁 Download the Launch Confidently Podcasting Checklist and join the Fearless Podcast Launch here: https://soulpodcasting.com/resources/Join Captivate for awesome podcast hosting!

Ep 106106. How to Name a Podcast
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how to name a podcast in a way that actually moves you forward instead of keeping you stuck. I’ve seen brilliant creators sit on fully recorded seasons because they couldn’t land on the “perfect” name—and I’ve also seen rushed names quietly sabotage growth. So today, I’m breaking down what really matters: clarity over cleverness, strategy over trends, and alignment over ego. I’ll share what I’ve learned from naming shows like Christian Homeschool Moms and Soul Podcasting, and I’ll walk you through a practical, sustainable way to choose a name you can confidently stand behind for years.///📹Watch Soul Podcasting on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@demetriazinga🎁 Download the Launch Confidently Podcasting Checklist and join the Fearless Podcast Launch here: https://soulpodcasting.com/resources/Join Captivate for awesome podcast hosting!
