This week is a huge milestone as we are celebrating the 100th episode of the Moms With Dreams Show! I’ve been anticipating this day for several weeks now.
I remember when I started my podcast back in May 2015. Producing one show per week felt like an eternity away from 100, but now it’s finally here!
Over the past few weeks, I’ve heard from other podcasters that I am the exception in the industry – that most podcasts don’t make it past 20 episodes, let alone reach 100! I had no idea since all the podcasts that I listen to are successful with hundreds of episodes. This conversation was my reminder to stop and acknowledge myself for making it this far – something that I often forget to do.
Instead of interviewing a guest or teaching a lesson, I invited my listeners and previous guests to join me in this episode. After my extended introduction, you’ll hear audio clips of them sharing a few words about the show.
I am grateful for my community and want you to have access to these wonderful people. Below you’ll find their names, a brief bio, contact information and a link to their episode if they were a guest.
In this episode, I gave a shout out to John Bukenas, my podcast producer. If you’re thinking about starting a podcast or you’ve already started and need an editor, I highly suggest John. You can find him at http://audioeditingsolutions.com

Congrats Erica! I am so grateful to have found your podcast. You are my online accountability partner in my mind. LOL 😉 Your podcast has so much purpose and I am blessed because of it. I am a single mother of a one year old daughter working my way through my Master program while working full-time and slowly trying to make my presence in the Mommy blogger community. I joined your community somewhere during episode 80 so I get to scroll through and catch up on so many great shows throughout my car ride, workout and even work (shhh lol) and it gives me so much more motivation during the week to push through knowing so many other Moms out there are still living their dreams. I pray for you on your journey to your doctorate and hope to hear more on a podcast later this year ; ) Keep going sister. We are all rooting for your success.
Hi Ashley!
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for listening to my podcast! I am so grateful that you found my podcast, too, and even more grateful to know that you are on a journey to your dreams. I applaud you for going after what you want! You are an inspiration to moms everywhere. If there’s anything I can do to support you in your journey, please feel free to reach out to me. I wish you all the best in your journey to your dreams. <3
