Dawn and Tracy, together again in the same room this time to bring you another episode, this time on goals and how you can stop and change the way you think. On Real Women we’re asking the question, success is it a place you arrive or who you become along the way? Listen in for tips on creating the life you desire for your journey of growth and development.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When we think about goals it’s easy to think of sports people. The amount that goes into any of those sports people achieving that end result of a goal, is so much more than the goal itself, and that's what we sometimes forget.
• If you set a direction and say, this is where I want to be aiming, this is where I want to take myself for the coming year, or for the next five years. You are giving yourself a guidance that isn't just focused on that end goal, but it's focused on the things you need to do to stand a better chance of achieving that end goal.
• People that aim for something, they get there and they think, I don't like this now I've got it. It's not what I thought it was going to be. And that’s because they’ve only been focused on the end goal and not the reasons why they wanted to get there in the first place. 
• The magic isn’t in thinking what do I need, but who I need to be. To be present throughout the journey as to how you are growing and evolving to be able to develop yourself, to get to the point that you're achieving that end goal.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Resolutions are for life, not just for New Year’

‘We achieve the end goal and there's absolutely no satisfaction’

‘How many of you set a goal that is about who do I want to be?’

‘We set goals because we’re chasing happiness, we should be setting purpose instead’

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.

Our guest today is on a mission to help as many women as possible who have had a hysterectomy and/or would like to master their menopause. Laura Applewhite is the founder of hysterectomy healing and joins Dawn and Tracy on Real Women to talk about her programme that puts women at the heart of their own healing journey that helps women listen to their intuition, use their voice and connect to their whole being.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Most of the women who Laura helps have had a hysterectomy, they're several months down the line and they often have hit a bit of a wall. They're a little bit surprised that they haven't just been able to bounce back and are wondering “why don't I have all my energy back?”
• Laura had her hysterectomy when she was 42, so relatively young, but she talks to people every day who are in their 20’s and going through the same thing. She had her hysterectomy because she had fibroids and was having horrendous periods. It was getting to the stage where Laura was not able to leave the house on the worst days of her cycle.
• If you’re finding that you pee a little when you sneeze or run then Laura would recommend that you get an appointment with a pelvic health therapist. 
• We shouldn't feel gross if we're having heavy periods and we are having problems. Just as Tracy shouldn't feel like a fraud because she had an easier time of it. 
• Laura’s wish is that women should be aware a lot earlier of what to look out for when it comes to menopausal symptoms because you are getting women even without a hysterectomy sometimes now going through early menopause.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I pushed my periods back so that I had the worst days of my cycle on the weekends, so I could just, stay in’

‘Women are at the stage where they have to utilise the pill to push their period back so it fits round work. How crazy is that’ 

‘We call it problems, but we learn to live with them’

This week on Real Women, Dawn is in conversation with Tracy on what Dawn refers to as Tracy's Three Card Trick when it comes to Marriage. That’s three attempts at marriage for Tracy and we’re going to be diving into each and every one of them to discover the three L’s of marriage, life, love, and loss.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Tracy’s three marriages are all different stories but have all ended, one through jilting, discovering he liked men a lot more than he liked women, and then a rebound which was a huge mistake that turned out to have a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Her emotions ranged from guilt to sadness, to anger in turn.
• In Tracy’s first attempt at the marriage at the age of 24, it was about 5 months before the wedding that Tracy decided she didn’t want to go through with it. Unfortunately, she didn’t tell him until one month before the wedding, the day after he’d paid for the reception.
• Tracy’s partner was in his 30s and he and his brother couldn’t even do their washing. This was a big red flag that Tracy was essentially just becoming a surrogate mother for her partner and his brother.
• Tracy’s first actual marriage started with a man she met and was just friends with while she was with her previous partner. She thought they were soulmates but it turns out he was questioning his sexuality and Tracy had caught him out on his lies. She felt betrayed not because it was with another man but because it was still cheating.
• Her next marriage was a rebound marriage with a guy who ended up cheating on her. This made Tracy feel like she wasn’t good enough and that another woman was better. There was however a good outcome as he and Tracy had a child together.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Right now my view is I don't believe you need to be married to be in a loving relationship’

‘His face when I told him was like a child who’s just had a toy taken away from him’

‘He was a lovely guy, but he was a doormat’

‘That betrayal meant I was grieving for a future we couldn’t have’

‘It made me feel really great as a human being that somebody could be going through all that secret turmoil and see me as potentially the person that's gonna help them solve it’

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. Specialising in weight loss, strength and conditioning, Katie also runs a Muay Thai gym with partner Christian Knowles as well as promoting Muay Thai fight nights with Roar Fighting Championship.

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’

This episode of Real Women is about all the little, sometimes psychotic things, we do to prepare for Christmas, including Dawn's psychotic bleaching and scrubbing of the kitchen tiles. How far do you go with your Christmas madness? 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• This year Tracy is organised with only one Christmas present left to buy… Dawn on the other hand has only got toys for the Grandchildren.
• Spring cleaning starts in December for Dawn every inch of her home is getting bleached. The walls are getting a new coat of paint and the tree is decorated on December 1st. It's like a military operation. 
• Cooking on Christmas day is a huge feast all prepped the day before. When you're cooking for 11 you have to go a bit over the top with the shopping. 
• Tracy hits the champagne at 11am because she's stuck in the kitchen on her own. One year the champagne started so early she didn't get to the end of the cooking. 
• When you've got kids who have partners they're in the conflict zone of having to decide who's parents to go to for Christmas. It's really tough on them because someone has to miss out. 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Christmas is my favourite time of year to people watch, especially in supermarkets'

'I actually had my trolley stolen once'

'Once you've got kids you have to do what's best for them, not what you want to do'

In this episode, Dawn and Tracy are reviewing 4 suppliers of chef-inspired meals with ingredients delivered to your door, to ease the burden of a busy lifestyle. Are they any good? Is it worth it? The pair will be reviewing Hello Fresh and Gousto, both ingredient-based deliveries along with Allplants and Lions Prep for chef-made meals ready to reheat.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• For Dawn, the curiosity and motivation for these meal kits are just to get to try new recipes. We get stuck cooking the same types of recipes and making things the same way for years. It’s also handy to have some fresh meals already prepared that you can make quickly.
• For Tracy it’s a little of the same and also about convenience, she doesn't always have time to make healthy balanced meals and the ready-made ones aren’t always full of things you want to put in your body.
• If you’re just making a meal that uses some of an ingredient, then you’re left with some left that you’re not going to use. With these meal kits, you get the exact amount of what you need.
• The other advantage of meal kits is that they come with the recipe that you need to make the meal so anyone can follow it. It can be a fun thing to do with your kids or you can use them to make your kids or husband learn to cook for themselves.
• Wastage is reduced significantly!
• Tracy found that with Hello Fresh her veg was going off faster than the veg she was buying from the supermarket. However, the meat was usually of really good quality.
• With chef-prepared ready meals you don’t get the rubbish that’s in supermarket meals, you get meals made by a chef and then boxed. It’s not mass produced and it’s good quality ingredients that you just heat.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I think my main motivation now is about getting balanced food without the faff’

‘Do I have to cook everything for myself? Do I have to sit down there and prepare it all?’

‘The convenience wasn’t in the kitchen, it was in the thought’

‘They need a three person option’

Dawn and Tracy have guest Michelle Herbert, also known as the Foxy Financial Advisor with them today on Real Women. The trio will be discussing the term Financial Freedom, which is often overused. What does it mean and is there a true passive way to be financially free, or is it just a marketing tool used to create fear and doubt?

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Michelle is a financial advisor, but most importantly she’s a planner. She plans for people's financial futures, making sure they've got everything that they should have and then letting them know whether they're on track, off track to achieve their goals and what they can do if they are off track to achieve their goals.
• Financial freedom is completely different depending on who you're talking to. Financial freedom for a property investor normally means they want to generate a passive income from property to leave the rat race of their employed life. To a business owner it might be that they can get somebody running the business so they can take a backseat and they can do more of what they want to do.
• For Michelle, her business is her. It's impossible for her to get somebody in to run her business because she is the one that gives the advice. Her version of financial freedom is being able to do what she wants to do when she wants to do it.
• Property is not passive income. Full stop, no business truly is. A lot of the people selling the concept of financial freedom are working 75 hours a day.
• With big property investing training, they get people who want their financial freedom to sign up. Then before they've even started and bought their own house, they are 15 or 20 grand in debt from the training that they've just had.

BEST MOMENTS

‘This financial freedom seems to be bloody everywhere, what the heck does it mean?’

‘Financial freedom doesn't necessarily mean giving up work’

‘To me, financial freedom is a complete bollocks statement because ultimately most people are looking for freedom of choice’

ABOUT THE GUEST

When Michelle joined South Yorkshire Police in order to help people, she soon found out that she was trying to put pieces of people's lives back together, as terrible things had already happened to them. This is not what Michelle classed as helping people. She was then given an amazing opportunity to join St. James's Place Wealth Management Academy, this career move meant that Michelle finally got to help people, in the true meaning of the word.

Michelle is passionate about helping individuals and business owners embrace financial planning, and empower them to make sound financial choices both in their business and personal lives.

On today's show, we're talking about the topic of being embarrassed by other women leaders in the world, specifically around female prime ministers of the UK. What we're asking is many things, but most of all, maybe we need to stop looking at gender and accepting that our leaders are human beings. It's got nothing to do with boobs or bums. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• It seems that when a man in a position of power makes a mistake, it has nothing to do with him being a man. When a woman in a position of power makes a mistake, it’s because she’s a woman. For some reason people think that having a ‘rack’ means you can’t do your job properly. 
• We want to support other women in power, but when they do a rubbish job and let the team down we’re allowed to criticise them, without feeling like we’re just piling in with the misogynists. 
• What really ticks us off as women in the business world is that if you’re not at 100% for one day, you get the comments saying, oh she’s got PMT. 
• If you go back in history, we were not equal. There were people out there fighting for equality for women. We get equality to the point where we've got women leading a country and when she messes it up, there's an element in us that thinks why did she have to be the woman to be in charge. 

BEST MOMENTS
‘If a man messed up, you wouldn't go down the route of, oh yeah, they messed up, but hey, what a great body he’s got’
‘The minute we mess up, it goes to what we are wearing?’
‘You can very easily get sucked into the right and wrong of policies. But if we remove that and just go, what impact did she have for females?’

Today’s guest on Real Women is a returning guest who has just as little of a filter as Tracy and Dawn, Shari Teigman is here to talk about building a business as a single mum. Should parents feel guilty for spending time on the business and away from the kids? Or is that whole notion just part of an old fashioned system? Listen in to find out what these Real Women think, no fluff, no filters.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Shari had lost her spark and had no idea how to find it again. So she started with what she knew she didn't want and transformed entirely, divorcing and starting her own business as a full time parent. Shari studied for a life coaching certification and did yoga teacher training for a full year of immersion and knew she found her purpose.
• The biggest challenges as a parent for Shari when she was embarking on her business journey was allowing her children to keep their normality while she was being the dedicated mum who also had to be her business. It was a split and now she knows that she didn’t need to hide any of her personality and journey with them, they could have come along with her.
• As women trying to run a business and raise kids and also just be ourselves as well, we feel like we can be leading two or three different lives and each one feels guilty about taking time away from the others.
• Women or feminine people are nurturers and we do things differently with our children. Men often don't get it, and don't do it like we do, so when we are building our businesses we need them to pick up the slack.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Let's just call it a force field, a force field of love’

‘There's already guilt when you're doing something and guilt when you're not doing something’

‘You’ve got one pair of hands’

‘We always move the goalposts’

ABOUT THE GUEST

“Rewind 12 years and I was your standard Stepford wife living a life that looked beautiful from the outside but most certainly was not mine. I had lost my spark and I had no idea how to find it again. So I started with what I knew I didn't want and transformed entirely through a divorce, single mamaing the 2 most amazing boys in the world + navigating rebuilding a Self I knew was meant for much more.

After more dark nights of the soul than I can count, lots of dancing & cocktails mixed in for good measure, I found the rabbit hole of personal development and I dove in with all I had. I studied for a life coaching certification and yoga teacher training for a full year of immersion and KNEW I found my purpose. With a sociology, art therapy and makeup artist background, uncovering what makes people tick melded with creativity runs in my veins. My role in the world is to help people unearth themselves for more success, fulfilment and joy on their terms.” 

ABOUT THE HOSTS

Welcome to Real Women, the first of the re-branded podcast episodes with Dawn and Tracy. This first episode is all about how we deal with the bits between the businesses. How do you juggle life and business? What is the right balance and how do you keep it there?

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• For anyone wanting to know what the new format is all about, 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.

• If you spoke to the average woman, whether they were employed or not, we all still have very similar juggling acts going on in our lives.
• Somebody has to buy toothpaste, somebody has to sort out Christmas, birthdays, food, ironing, and washing. Those jobs physically have to get done, and the kids and the husband are hardly likely to do it.

BEST MOMENTS

‘In lockdown, we had this thing we called zoom attire’

‘You need a way to vent’
