Does Striving For Perfection Hold Us Back?


Listen Later

Dawn and Tracy are here for another ‘caffeine cast’. This time the ladies are talking about the idea of  perfection and how it can hold us back. But, is perfection real or is it just a product of our own internal doubts? Kick off your shoes, make a cuppa and take a ten minute break as the ladies get into it. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Dawn and Tracy discuss their relationship with perfection and how it has changed over the years. 
  • Tracy talks about how we perceive perfection in our mind and how this often prevents us from just making a start on a certain task.
  • Using the example of their podcast, the ladies talk about how getting better over time is more satisfying than trying to achieve perfection out of the gate.
  • The ladies talk about the importance of quality of message over technical perfection. 

BEST MOMENTS
“I’m always perfect, except when I’m not.”

“Authenticity is imperfection. Imperfection is perfect.”

“There is no such thing as perfection, it’s just our own internal voice that is telling us we are not good enough.”

ABOUT THE HOSTS
Dawn and Tracy are real women who are fed up of 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 heartfelt humour, raw honesty, spandex, stilettos, and intelligent conversion on being a real woman in today's world.
