Mourning Our Youth - What we Miss Most from our Younger Days
This week Dawn and Tracy are mourning their youth, or are they? The ladies are talking about the inevitability of getting older and, despite the fact they don’t feel it mentally, what it means for their bodies and their health. But is getting older all just about wrinkles and wobbly bits? Is there something better that comes with age and, when you look past the physical, what are the things you really mourn from your younger days.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The ladies agree that mentally, they don’t feel any different from when they were in their 30’s, but there are a few physical differences now that they’re ‘closer to 60’.
- Although Dawn is not happy that her body is changing with time, she summarises that it’s a fair trade off for the life experience and wisdom she has gained.
- The ladies talk about various beauty treatments they have tried to turn back the clock, but come to the conclusion that you’re just kidding yourself.
- The ladies look past the superficial and talk about the things they would do differently if they had their youth again.
BEST MOMENTS
“As your body starts to crumble, your brian gets wiser.”
“I don’t think it’s possible to look back at photos of when you were younger and not want to be like that again.”
“Part of my wrinkles and imperfections in my body are part of my character.

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.
