Listen Later

Our guest today is Stephanie Taylor, a certified life coach and Founder of Blow Up Your Life which helps dynamic leaders over 40 to live their personal lives with the same intention that makes them so successful professionally. Blow Up Your Life is the antidote to living life by default and regretting the things you didn’t do while waiting for a ‘one day’ which doesn’t arrive.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Stephanie's mantra of blowing up your life has two meanings, the first being to destroy it in a big way like an explosion, the second meaning is making it bolder and bigger like inflating a balloon. 
  • One of the messages we get as women is that as we age we should be invisible, Stephanie is telling you to do the opposite, make it bigger and better so that your best years are always ahead of you. 
  • Nobody is afraid of heights, we’re afraid of the fall because that’s what will kill you. The same applies to going it on your own in business or in life, you’re not afraid of doing it on your own, you’re afraid of failing. 
  • Often, many women who are successful in their career are not putting the same time, attention, and energy into themselves. Where do they want to be in 5 or 10 years time? They have these goals in business but not in life. 
  • You give so much in life to other people and your business and your family, so much so that you lose the ability to identify who you are. What would you be if you hadn’t given yourself to those people or things? 
  • There are times when what we love doesn’t go as smoothly as we imagined. That doesn’t mean that we don’t love it anymore, it just means that we have things to overcome or distractions in our lives. It’s okay to reassess or reset the status quo. 

BEST MOMENTS

‘My 20 year old self wouldn’t even recognise me’

‘I was petrified that business and property were for other people and I didn’t have the skills’ 

‘Is my life just business and housework and raising kids?’

‘We don’t spend time talking to ourselves, so we don’t know what we really think’

ABOUT THE GUEST
Blow Up Your Life is the antidote to living life by default and regretting the things you didn’t do while waiting for a ‘one day’ which doesn’t arrive. Stephanie Taylor is a certified life coach and Founder of Blow Up Your Life which helps dynamic leaders over 40 to live their personal lives with the same intention that makes them so successful professionally.

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.
