Who are the Critical People in your Life & How much time do you spend with them?


Listen Later

Dawn and Tracy are back for a caffeine-cast. Dawn has been to a mastermind class and two questions from an exercise hit her hard and made her think…“Who are the critical people in your family?” and “How much time each day do you spend with them?” Dawn shares her thoughts on this, how it has impacted and asks Tracy, and you, to answer the questions yourself. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Dawn discusses the impact the questions had on her when she realised that maybe her priorities are in the wrong order.
  • Do we take our family for granted? Dawn and Tracy muse on this and how they can’t get the time back they’ve already used.
  • Why do we prioritise the stuff we hate, cleaning and cooking, over the stuff that makes us happy, spending time with loved ones?
  • Dawn and Tracy discuss the idea of ‘being present’. They both agree that being present in the moment for a short time with someone is better than spending a long time with them, not being present. 

BEST MOMENTS
“Spend all the time you can with your family. The cobwebs will be there to clean later.”

“We don’t just take our family members for granted, we also take time for granted.”

“Five minutes being 100% present with our loved ones has more impact than spending the whole day with them not being present.”

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.
