Oh my goodness, 100 episodes! I literally cannot believe we've hit this incredible milestone. When I started this podcast back in June 2023, I had absolutely no strategy, no plan - just this intuitive, burning desire to share the real, messy behind-the-scenes of what it's actually like to build a service business.
And honestly? Thank God for my podcast manager because I had no clue what I was doing! But if you've ever thought "I'm not ready" for that business pivot, new offer, or big scary project, this celebration episode is going to hit you right in the feels.
I'm getting emotional sharing six powerful lessons I've learned from starting scared, building consistently, and how these same game-changing principles can completely transform your business growth.
Key Points Covered:
✨ Start messy, then improve - Why I'm so grateful I didn't wait until I had it "figured out" and how building the habit first changes absolutely everything
✨ Confidence comes through practice - How I went from "there's no way I could do a solo episode" to completely loving them (spoiler: confidence doesn't magically appear!)
✨ Systems create consistency - The behind-the-scenes of how I've shown up for 100 episodes without missing a beat (even with a crazy new puppy!)
✨ Authenticity is your secret weapon - Why showing up as your real, imperfect self is what creates that magnetic connection with dream clients
✨ Honor your seasons - Getting real about why I'm taking my very first (short!) break and how to adapt without abandoning your goals
✨ Connection creates magic - The unexpected opportunities and beautiful relationships that have grown from just showing up consistently
Special Celebration:
I am so incredibly grateful for every single person who has listened, shared, or connected with me through this podcast. To celebrate this milestone, I'm giving away a FREE coaching call! Email me a screenshot of your podcast review at andrea@dancingleafsolutions.com to enter.
My biggest takeaway for you: You absolutely do not have to have it all figured out to start. Please don't wait! Build the habit, show up authentically and consistently, and evolve as you go. The magic truly happens in the messy middle of doing, not in the endless planning.
Here's to the next 100 episodes! 🥂

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
