Dawn and Tracy are both stressed, so much so that they’ve decided to drop this week's topic in favour of having a good old rant. Mobile phones, multiple messages via multiple channels, being your own boss, trying to do everything at 100 miles an hour and zoom emojis are just some of the things that are contributing to the ladies feeling ‘discombobulated.’ But is it worth getting chewed up about these things and are there simple solutions to coping with them? 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Dawn encourages young people to accept when they are feeling stressed and to talk about it, especially on social media where we have a tendency to paint the picture of a perfect life. 
• Tracy muses on the idea that the modern world, full of technology, might increase the stress placed on people's lives. 
• The ladies discuss how they are implementing new practices into their businesses to give themselves a better work life balance. 
• Dawn talks about the importance of taking life at the right pace and not feeling like you have to rush everything. 

BEST MOMENTS

“Be aware of your emotions and then you can manage them.”

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.
