With Dawn and Tracy, this week is Katie Rishover of Fabulous Fitness Fanatic and personal trainer of 13 years, Katie Rishover certainly knows what it's like to work in a man's world.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Ladies, you have just as much right as the beefcakes to go into the weights area and pick up your 4kg dumbbells and don’t let anyone make you feel like it’s not allowed or not in your area.
  • When keeping up with your fitness you've got to find that little passion, that one thing that you just think, I can't live without. My Zumba, my spin class. Find something that you absolutely love and you won’t want to miss out.
  • The people who are running the gyms don't seem to have much aversion to promoting a student into the instructor and going down that pathway, but certainly, the public's expectation is when they walk into these environments, they're expecting a man.
  • In the fitness industry, there’s a culture when it comes to food of ‘don't beat yourself up’. So what if you've spiralled, tomorrow's another day. Get up, crack on. Don't think about it, just deal with it. Just move on. But don't do it every single day and that's when you lose control.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘I see the beefcakes working out and I just feel like I'm in testosterone hell’

‘If you wanna be in it. You can't let them put you on the side seat’

‘We're very often really good communicators. But that doesn't mean to say we can't have a firm handshake’

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 heart felt humour, raw honesty, spandex, stilettos and intelligent conversion on being a real woman in today's world.
