Nick Feeney | Writing a Better Middle Life Story; Entrepreneurial Success, Midlife and Becoming a Better You
Dawn and Tracy have made it to 100 episodes and it’s fair to say they’re chuffed about it. To celebrate this landmark they are joined by guest Nick Feeney. Nick has led an incredible life and, after going through self inflicted trauma, he has managed to turn his life around and now coaches men on how to be the best versions of themselves. So sit back and celebrate with the ladies as they toast to episode 100!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Nick talks about his shift in attitude from a self centred man to one who helps others and how this came about when he realised that he wasn’t being true to himself and was actually trying to achieve a version of success that was marketed to him and not his own.
- Nick talks about some of his coaching methods with midlife men and how, as one of his first steps, he discusses with his clients the difference between loving your partner and liking them.
- Nick describes the difference between what he calls ‘exchanges’ and conversations. And, how moving into conversations with your loved ones will create deeper bonds.
- The ladies and Nick talk about the problems with judging each other and how somebody else’s problems may seem insignificant compared to your own, but they are actually significant to them.
BEST MOMENTS
“I made a promise to myself to be a better man and take responsibility for who I was.”
“Conversations are like onions. Everytime you ask a question, you get closer to the core.”
“My husband’s favourite phrase is ‘Dawn, I don’t know what the f**k you’re talking about.’.”

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.
ABOUT THE GUEST
Since 1992 Nick has started and sold a variety of businesses – from pubs, a commercial cleaning company, investment and finance to high end glamping and more.
Whilst forging a successful entrepreneurial career, he turned into a version of himself that he thought he needed to be. Nick pushed himself daily like we all do to achieve the success that we crave. Nothing was going to stop him.
Then his world imploded, and he lost everything.
He vowed from then on to do all he could to be a better man.
10 years on and he’s gone from burnout to on-fire.
Now with over 200+ hours of coaching and over £60k invested in his own personal growth journey – Nick is an Internationally Accredited Life Coach and Mentor and has turned his mess into a message.
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.
