Time For a Quick One: Creating The Life You Desire


Listen Later

Dawn and Tracy are back for a quick one. This week, in a clip taken from episode 74, the ladies are discussing what happiness really is. Whilst most people think that winning the lottery or having a perfect body is the thing that will make them happy, Dawn and Tracy disagree. But they do agree on one thing, that happiness is a journey, not the destination.  

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Dawn talks about how people's final goals can corrupt them and make them lose sight of the now, and how, instead, people should enjoy the journey.
  • Tracy thinks that chasing end goals is actually just a ritual of chasing happiness and how, when we reach our goals, they never really give us the satisfaction we thought they would. 
  • The ladies discuss the idea of internal happiness and how setting small goals and achieving them everyday can contribute to that. 
  • The ladies agree that people are ultimately seeking happiness in life and whilst winning the lottery may feel like happiness, it will only really make you happy if you’re already happy.

BEST MOMENTS
“People who earn millions are workaholics and are heading toward an early heart attack.”
“There’s a big difference between chasing a goal and aspiring to what purpose you think that goal will give you.”
“Nobody will be happy for having a million pounds. Ask yourself what you want the money for and will those items really make you happy.”

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

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.
