Dream & Reinvention Coaching

Too often, women stop dreaming after rejection, setbacks, or life transitions. But your story isn’t over — and your dreams still matter.

I’m Demetria Gilkey, your Dream & Reinvention Coach, and I help women rediscover their dreams, rebuild confidence, and step boldly into the life God has designed for them. Through faith-based guidance, practical strategies, and personal accountability, you’ll gain the clarity, courage, and tools you need to live fully in every season of life.

My Story: Mindset & Faith in Action

My journey has been full of twists, turns, and divine surprises — and I wouldn’t trade a moment of it.

For years, I chased dreams and faced rejection: I longed to teach in higher education and was turned away repeatedly — until God opened the doors at two schools. I dreamed of being the emcee for a major award show — and out of the blue, it happened. I was rejected from law school and certain news positions — yet doors opened that I never imagined. I’ve always believed that dreams don’t die; they wait for the right season.

Even the detours, like cosmetology school and owning my own salon, were part of the process. Those experiences taught me patience, resilience, and how to show up fully for others — skills I still use every day in coaching and ministry.

The birth of my daughter, Bellamy, brought one of the most powerful lessons in faith and courage. Facing fear, uncertainty, and pain, I leaned on prayer, mindset tools, and God’s guidance. When she was finally in my arms, I understood more deeply than ever that faith combined with action transforms challenges into triumphs.

Now, I help women apply these same principles to their own lives — to rediscover dreams, overcome setbacks, and step boldly into the life God has designed for them.

Dream and Reinvention coaching is great for women who've ever felt:

Demetria and I met many years ago in networking events. We had a very high-level professional relationship until she shifted and became a life coach. I had the privilege of working with her 1:1 at a time that I didn’t know or acknowledge what I was really looking for or what, if anything, I needed. We discovered that I suffered from an imposter syndrome that I wasn’t allowing myself to openly be a Christian. I didn’t recognize that I was holding back my authentic self. Demetria’s coaching allowed me permission to let go of the world’s prejudgment in the professional environment. Her beautiful spirit and energy continue to keep me motivated for God’s purpose of my life.
