  1. The Entrepreneurial You Say Goodbye

    The Entrepreneurial You Say Goodbye

    In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Heneka Watkis-Porter shares a message that has been resting on her heart for months. After years of inspiring conversations, thought-provoking interviews, and groundbreaking contributions to the Caribbean podcasting space, Heneka reveals that God has been calling her into a new season—one that requires her to lay this podcast down. What began as a quiet stirring in her spirit grew into undeniable confirmation. Heneka openly reflects on her initial disappointment, the gradual peace that followed, and the divine affirmations that made the direction clear. One of the most impactful came during an interview with Nerissa Golden, whose prophetic words confirmed that Heneka’s assignment as the “podcast queen” had reached its completion. Despite previously planning episodes through December, Heneka explains how returning from the LeadHerShip Cruise made it impossible to continue. She cancelled upcoming interviews and embraced the truth: something greater is ahead. Throughout this farewell message, Heneka also shares: The spiritual call that prompted her to end the podcast. Nerissa Golden’s prophetic insight that brought clarity and confirmation. The evolution of Caribbean podcasting and Heneka’s pioneering role. Why she is also stepping back temporarily from The Entrepreneurial You TV show. A heartfelt message of gratitude to listeners, guests, sponsors, and partners. Encouragement for listeners to walk boldly into their own God-given purpose. When Heneka launched The Entrepreneurial You, very few in the Caribbean even knew what a podcast was. Today, the region is filled with podcasters and loyal listeners—a movement she helped ignite. She acknowledges this season with pride, gratitude, and a readiness for the next chapter God has prepared. Though this is the final episode of The Entrepreneurial You podcast, it is not an ending—it's a transition. Heneka encourages everyone to stay connected for what’s next, reminding us that the journey of purpose is ever-unfolding. “Your best is yet to come.” — Heneka Watkis-Porter The conversation that held the final confirmation:Living Fearless: Overcoming Fear to Build Bold, Purpose-Driven Businesses with Nerissa Golden 🔗 https://henekawatkisporter.com/living-fearless-overcoming-fear-to-build-bold-purpose-driven-businesses-with-nerissa-golden/ ✨ Key Reflections in This Episode✨ A Legacy of Impact✨ A Message of Hope & Purpose🎧 Listen to the Episode with Nerissa Golden Learn more about your ad choices.
