What happens when your business can’t breathe without you? In this Halloween-inspired episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the scary side of entrepreneurship - from chaotic inboxes and creeping to-do lists to the haunting reality of being the only one who knows how to keep things running.
I’m sharing my own experiences with burnout and control, and how building better systems helped me reclaim my freedom - and my sanity. Because if your business crumbles the moment you step away, it’s not scalable… it’s scary.
Inside this episode:
🎃 The spooky truth about scope creep and over-dependence in business
🕸️ Why your systems (or lack thereof) might be haunting your growth
👻 How I built structures that let my business run smoothly - even when I’m away
✨ My new service offerings at Grow Advantage, designed for visionary founders ready to scale sustainably
💡 Real client success stories that prove freedom is possible
If your business feels more like a haunted house than a well-oiled machine, this episode will help you turn the chaos into clarity - and the fear into freedom.
Let’s keep the conversation going - connect with me on socials @GrowAdvantage, and let’s build a business that supports your life, not one that scares you into staying small.

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.
