Real Women

Dawn & Tracy | Holiday Stress - Do we really shut down from working? Is it different for business owners versus the employed? Bucket list trips of a lifetime and celebrating the success we create


Listen Later

Tracy is off on a bucket list trip of a lifetime to celebrate the success she has created. So this week on Real Women, Tracy and Dawn are going to be talking all about how we actually switch off from work when we’re on holiday and how that differs between people who are employed and those who have their own businesses. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • By the time you’re hearing this Tracy will have flown to Miami, met her luxury all inclusive cruise ship, will have travelled the Caribbean sea and will be sailing up the Amazon in Brazil as you’re reading this. 
  • We all feel stressed in the run up to a holiday, there’s so much to get done before you can allow yourself to go away and just enjoy yourself. The worry is in the build up but when we actually get there we can forget all about it and live our best life. 
  • When we know we’re going away we attract more and more things to do before that hard stop point of getting on the plane. Or are we just noticing it more because we know we have a time limit on when things have to be done by. 
  • Whatever happens in life, it’s not the incident that causes the issue, it’s how you respond to the incident that’s the issue. 
  • The reticular activating system (RAS) is a network of neurons located in the brain stem that project anteriorly to the hypothalamus to mediate behaviour.

ABOUT THE HOSTS

Dawn and Tracy are real women who are fed up with all the “noise” out there in the real world. Life isn’t simply rainbows and unicorns, it's broken relationships, hard work, hot sweats and never ending laundry baskets.  But life as a real woman is also about being honest, having good gossip and speaking our truths. Whether it’s peeling yourself into your spandex for a night out, or running a business meeting barefoot because the heel has fallen off your stilettos, there is always something to laugh about in life.  

Dawn is mid 50’s mid menopause straight talking business maverick.  Four kids, three grandchildren, two businesses, one husband and a self proclaimed “hottie”.

Tracy is a mid 50’s awesome mum, business and property mentor. Proud of her raw, honest nature, “bonkers” sense of humour and good old fashioned northern humility.

PODCAST DESCRIPTION

The business of being a real woman juggling life, love and work for many of us is pure sweat, grit & hustle. This podcast is for those of you who are tired of the “noise” and just want real down to earth gossip with no filters or fluff.  Dawn and Tracy bring heart felt humour, raw honesty, spandex, stilettos and intelligent conversion on being a real woman in today's world.
