Time for a Quick One: Marriage, Divorce, Love and Loss
Have you got time for a quick one with Dawn and Tracy? Is this short episode the ladies discuss the breakdown of Tracy’s marriage once her husband accepted that he was gay. Tracy looks back on this time and, with hindsight, analyses what went wrong, the signs she missed along the way and, ultimately, how she has come to accept the positives that came from the situation.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Tracy talks about the breakup of her previous relationship and how the betrayal of her partner made her grieve the loss of the future they had planned together.
- Tracy’s husband entered into a new relationship with another man. She talks about the pressures on gay men in the 90’s to hide these desires and try to live a ‘normal’ life.
- The ladies talk about open relationships and specifically Tracy’s reluctance to the idea as she believes having multiple partners would still be ‘cheating’.
BEST MOMENTS
“Sometimes relationships don’t work, but the people involved in the breakup could help each other to realise who they truly are.”
“It doesn’t matter who you cheated with, you cheated.”
“My husband has an expression - ‘A man’s body only stands up for what it stands up for’.”

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.
