It’s time for another quick on with Dawn and Tracy. In a snippet taken from Episode 98 the ladies are discussing anxiety, fear and how to be the master of it. The fear of ‘what if’ can often make us behave in ways that are not conducive to our personal or professional success. And this is not healthy. Luckily, Dawn and Tracy are here to share some practical tips and advice, collected from two lives well lived, so that you can become the master of your fear instead of it being the master of you.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Dawn has a healthy approach to managing her anxiety, she talks about her relationship with it and how she has developed skills to help her manage it. Tracy muses of the dangers of catastrophizing and how we can self soothe in order to prevent this from happening. Dawn and Tracy discuss their past experiences related to fear of failure and how these experiences have helped them to develop tools to cope should it appear. The ladies discuss the concept of ‘Surrendering to the Fear’ using the example of Dawn’s friend who is currently going through a breakup.BEST MOMENTS
“Anxiety isn’t a weakness but I can see how people might think it’s a weakness.”
“When we come back to the present we can look with much more clarity at what is going on.”
“If you let go of your fear, what would you do?”

This week, Dawn and Tracy are joined by Christine Van Bleom, founder of the Empty Nest Kitchen. Christine, for many years, ran a cooking school, but when covid popped up and closed her business she found herself lost and dejected. She looked at her own life and realised that people of her generation were being left behind. Determined to do something about it, Christine established the Empty Nest Kitchen, a place where people over 50, whose families have left home, can come together online and cook for fun. In this interview with Dawn and Tracy, Christine talks about her experience and recruits Dawn and Tracy into her tribe.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Christine, who is 56, came to the realisation that society was leaving behind people of a certain age and how this was making them feel neglected and alone. This, as she explains, is her reasoning for starting her empty nest cooking course. Christine's previous business was a cooking school, however, when Covid hit, she lost her company. She talks about how she picked herself up and the challenges she faced in setting up a new company. Once a month, Christine hosts a free course with over 500 attendees. Through sharing the story of a man who recently became a widower, she details the amazing benefits the participants receive. Dawn gets emotional as the ladies discuss the numerous benefits that come with cooking in a ‘tribe’ and how it fundamentally changes the experience of cooking from something you have to do to something you want to do.BEST MOMENTS
“Business and work will one day pass, but life does not finish there, so find something worth living for.”
“After Covid, I think people really began to realise how important connection is.”
“There’s a beauty in rediscovering the fun in something when you have sent so long doing it because you have to.”

After 2 car crashes, Kristen experienced chronic pain for over 15 years. One day, whilst in her kitchen, she had a revelation - what if she could incorporate her pilates knowledge into daily life?

Kirsten shares some simple tips on how to adopt a better posture. Moving your body isn’t just good for posture and pain, there are so many long term health benefits. Kirsten focused on seven of them to create her ‘Seven Good Reasons’ programme. She breaks down what they are and the benefits of each one. What Kristen has discovered through her community is that implementing exercise and positive body movements don’t just impact your health, but your wider world. She explains how the positivity you feel is transferred to your work life and relationships.BEST MOMENTS
“You’ve got to embrace who you are today, not wait for a time that may never come.”

This week on the show Dawn and Tracy are joined by Chris Edwards, a business owner that has ADHD, OCD and, with his wife, is currently going through the process of IVF, for the 13th time. As you can imagine, all of this puts a huge strain on Chris’s mental health and his ability to run his business effectively. What Chris discovered is that most people think your business impacts your life, but it is your life that impacts your business. In this interview with Dawn and Tracy, Chris recounts the challenges he has faced as a business owner whilst dealing with various ailments and challenges and how he has learned to create a balancing act.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
For a long time Chris thought that starting a business would impact his life, but what he has discovered is that it is his life that is impacting his business. He talks about the various ways his business suffers due to his ADHD, OCD and IVF. Chris recounts his early experiences with IVF, how this impacted him both personally and in his relationship with his wife, the lessons he learned from this experience and how his relationship is stronger now for having one through this process. Chris’s OCD plays a major part in how his life and business operate. He discusses some of the challenges he faces on a daily basis and the procedures he has put in place to help minimise its effects. There is still a stigma around men talking about their mental health, especially in the workplace. Chris soon learned that he needed to communicate his needs and his concerns to those around him in order to stay sane. He talks about the new world that opened up to him when he began to communicate.BEST MOMENTS
“Society puts a lot of emphasis on a woman going through pregnancy, but men have as much emotional involvement as the women do.”
“Employers need to realise that supporting their staff isn’t just about money, it’s about giving their employees time and space for their mental wellbeing.”
“Men need to communicate about their mental health. The days of putting on a front, of being big and strong are over.”

This week the ladies are here for a quick one. In a clip taken from episode 121, Dawn and Tracy are talking to property investor Micheal Wildig. When Micheal was caught up in a property scam that cost him over £150,000 he fell into a deep depression and contemplated suicide. In this short episode, Michael, Dawn and Tracy discuss the importance of speaking openly about mental health struggles, the stigma around men's mental health and how it’s possible, with love and support, to climb out of the deepest holes.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Through her martial arts classes, Dawn works with a lot of men that she can see are facing mental health issues. She discusses the need for men to speak out so that other men can see them as a role model and realise that it’s ok to not be ok. When he decided to start his own business, Micheal faced opposition from his friends and family. And when things turned sour, he found it incredibly difficult to admit failure to them. He discusses how he kept these feelings inside. Tracy and Micheal discuss the changing views in mental health over the last few years, why they think this has happened and the positives that have come from it. Michael, whose partner was pregnant during his troubles, talks about his realisation that he had more to fight for than just himself, and how this gave him the strength to get through his drastic situation.BEST MOMENTS
“I took the whole thing on the chest, but I wish that I had spoken to more people. Don’t make that mistake, talk to people.”
“Sometimes it just takes one small thing to take somebody from being ok to being depressed.”
“Men have more trouble talking about their emotions because they are used to being the provider and the protector.”

Dawn has recently been on a business retreat and she participated in a workshop all about identity, which has got her thinking about some big questions, such as “Do we choose our identity or is it a product of our nurture?” and “Is our identity who we are or what we do?”. As always, the ladies leave no stone unturned in their quest to get to the bottom of this subject. From the factors that make up our identity to our perception of it over time, the ladies go full Descartes, I think therefore I am, in order to solve this mystery.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Dawn and Tracy muse on the idea that people define their identities by what they do, a property investor, a mother, and not who they are as people. And the problems that arise when they no longer do the thing they've hung their identity on. The ladies, reluctantly, agree that they are getting older and whilst their bodies are ageing, their minds are as young as ever. But, how has their perception of their identity changed over this time? Do we make a mistake when meeting people for the first time and introducing ourselves by our job titles? The ladies speculate what it would be like to introduce yourself based on your true identity. Tracy argues that our identity is made up of three factors. Who we are in private, who we believe people see us as and how we behave based on who people see us as. But, does that cost us our authenticity?BEST MOMENTS
“How different would your life be if you introduced yourself as who you are and not what you do?”
“Who are we, at our core, when nobody else is looking?”
“Is authenticity who you are at your core or is it who you are as a result of what you believe other people see you as?”

Dawn's community of business owners are hitting their 40’s and 50’s. As they are all self employed or business owners, they are starting to worry about life after work, from a financial perspective. A lot of them are considering investing in property, so Dawn has decided to interview an expert in this field…Tracy. In this episode, Tracy breaks down the reality of property investment, the many routes to entry, the multiple ways in which you can make extra income, and, if done right, how it can provide a nest egg for your future.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Becoming involved in the property business is a great way to make money to secure your future, but it’s not as easy as most make out. Tracy lays out the reality of becoming a property manager. Buying property and selling it on at a profit is one way to make an income, but the more popular, and economical, approach is ‘buy to let’. Tracy walks you through how this process works and how to get the best out of it. What if you don’t have the cash in the bank to go out and buy a property? You’re not alone, most people don’t. But, there are many strategies to raise finance, as Tracy explains. Once the money starts coming in, it’s just as important to manage it as it is to keep making it. Tracy outlines all the best ways to make sure you’re money is safe, to reduce your tax bill and how to keep making it grow.BEST MOMENTS
“Make sure you get professional advice. Do you really want to build your future based on the opinions of the guy down the pub?”
“Before you do anything, ask yourself the most important question “What do I want out of this?””
“Property isn’t 100% passive, and anyone that tells you it is, is lying. Make sure you understand this before you jump in.”

Dawn and Tracy, who both run successful businesses, are getting overwhelmed with the number of options available to them when it comes to marketing. This past year, Dawn has decided to “chuck the book” at a number of marketing options in an attempt to find the one that works best for her. But, what she’s discovered is that it’s not as simple as just commissioning a marketing agency. From branding, to messaging, to understating your business and yourself, the ladies are here to walk you through the fundamental aspects you have to get right first before any adventures in marketing can begin and the dangers you’ll face if you don’t do the hard work first.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Marketing is more than Facebook and Google ads, but a lot of new businesses don’t understand this. Dawn explains how marketing hasn’t really changed since the 50’s and recaps some of the lessons you can learn from the ‘old boys.’ The foundations are key to any form of marketing, such as a logo, slogan and strong branding. Dawn and Tracy share their tips on getting these foundations right so that the marketing you do, does not fail. Even the best marketing idea in the world will fail if it doesn’t reach the right people. Tracy talks about the importance of understanding your perfect customers to make sure you get your message in front of the people that matter most. There are thousands of marketing companies out there, but how do you know which one is right for you? Dawn and Tracy share their ‘red flags’ to look for when commissioning a marketing company.BEST MOMENTS
“In order to win certain deals, it’s not just about marketing your company, but marketing who you are.”
“If you don’t understand who your perfect client is, you’re doomed before you start.”
“What do you do, what problems can you solve, what is special about what you do, who are your clients? - if you can nail those four things, you’ll have strong, focused marketing.”

It’s the anniversary of Tracy’s fathers death and that has got her thinking about grief, how we cope with it and the impact it has on our lives, both personally and professionally. But, is grief always a bad thing, is there any comfort to be found in suffering? Both Dawn and Tracy have been through periods of prolonged grief, in this episode, they look back on them, the strategies they used to overcome the grief, the lessons they have learned and how it shaped them into the woman they are today. And finally, come to a surprising conclusion about the inevitability of death.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Tracy talks about how grief affects her both emotionally and in other aspects of her life, such as her business, and shares the strategies she has developed to cope when it comes along. Dawn recounts the story of losing her sister in law at a relatively young age, and how this led her and her husband to take stock of their life and rethink their relationship with death. The ladies both discuss the deaths of their grandparents and how, even many years later, it still affects them, but also, how they both eventually came to peace with the loss. While it’s important to grief, it’s also important to move past it. The ladies discuss how ‘picking yourself up’ after a period of grief can only make you stronger.BEST MOMENTS
“Grief is like a tennis ball in a shoebox. Everytime the ball bounces against the edge, you get a wave of grief, but, after time, you learn to put it in a bigger box.”
“Nobody dies as long as somebody remembers them.”
“The creed of the warrior is 7 times down, 8 times up.”

The ladies are back this week for another ‘Quick One’, in a clip taken from episode 94, which featured Jeremey Bailey, Dawn’s ‘Freedom Friend’, owner of multiple businesses and eligible bachelor. Talking about online dating, the trio discuss what they think is good and bad about it, why it might be more tailored to men and not women and why it will never compete with a good, old fashioned, romantic encounter.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Jeremy sparks the conversation by giving his thoughts on online dating, how he thinks the science behind it is sound, but why he prefers to talk to someone instead of just ‘swiping right’. Tracy bemoans the fact that online dating has reduced initial romantic interactions to looking at photos and a list of likes and how this will never allow you to judge someone's personality. Jeremy explains his theory that men are competing with all other men for a woman's attention, but women are not competing with other women, then uses Tracy’s experiences to prove his point. Dawn shares her thoughts on what men are attracted to in women and what women are attracted to in men and why this makes online dating a platform that men prefer.BEST MOMENTS
“From my experience, most ladies have made up their mind in minutes whether they are interested or not.”
“Men require physical attraction, women require an emotional connection to be attracted .”
“I went on a date with a man and he turned out to be shorter than me, so that was no straight away.”

It’s Tracy's birthday this week and, as she becomes another year older, it prompts a question from Dawn “Is it the journey or the destination that’s important?” As the ladies try to break down this age old question, one thing becomes clear - that the answer really isn’t that simple. Looking at the difference between personal and career journeys, how their perception of the destination has changed over the years, and how the journey might pass you by, the ladies leave no stone unturned when trying to solve this riddle, but what they do decide, is that the answer to this question may be neither the journey or the destination.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Dawn says that we live in a world where we are conditioned to think that ‘specific outcomes’ are what is important, but as she has discovered in life, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Tracy muses on the idea that even though the journey is important, it’s more important to recognise that you’re on a journey and to “smell the roses along the way.” Tracy talks about the idea of the ‘gap and the gain’. Should you measure your success on how far you fell short, the gap, or what you achieved that you never thought you would, the gain. Tracy looks back on how her perception of what her destination is has changed over the years and how those destinations have turned from material items into more personal desires.BEST MOMENTS
“Where we’re going is important, but by the time we get there we want change.”
“We are all on multiple journeys with multiple destinations.”
“Remember to live life for the moment, because we don’t know how many moments we have left.”

Dawn and Tracy are here with a quick caffeine cast. After waking up at 4:10am this week and deciding to just get out of bed, something that has been happening more and more recently, Tracy wants to talk about why, as we get older, do we wake up earlier and earlier in the mornings.
From the science that Dawn can’t remember, to Tracy just wanting to be lazy and the all important topic of afternoon naps, the ladies are covering everything you want to know about early rising, lying in and the morning after the night before.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Dawn was listening to a podcast about the science behind sleeping times, but she can’t remember all the details. Luckily Tracy is here to fill her in. Tracy has been experimenting with her circadian rhythm when sleeping. She explains the method to Dawn and the benefits she is seeing. Dawn finds that her most productive days are the ones when she gets up early, but she muses on why she is naturally waking up earlier now that she has nothing to do in the mornings. Dawn and Tracy discuss the idea of afternoon naps. Tracy isn’t a fan, but Dawn might be able to convince to start taking them more seriously.BEST MOMENTS
“Why is it that when the kids finally leave home your body decides it wants to wake up early?”
“I was listening to something, I can’t remember what it was and they were talking about something, but I can’t remember the name of it. But, apparently, it helps you sleep.”
“I do find that the days I get up early are my most productive days, but, parking that, it really pisses me off.”

This week Dawn and Tracy welcome back Chloe Bisson. Chloe had a meteoric rise in her career, becoming the director of an international company by the age of 26. But once she achieved her dream, she was left feeling empty and ill. Initially visiting the doctor to try and ease her stomach pain, she was shocked when she was diagnosed with severe clinical depression. After a period of denial, Chloe decided to tackle her illness head on, which led to some incredible revelations.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Chloe talks about her initial diagnosis of depression and how she found herself in disbelief and denial, because, as she discovered, depression is not what she thought it was. Choe talks about how her diagnosis made her look at her life and reevaluate some of her lifestyle choices, and how this may never have happened if she had not received her diagnosis. Tracy muses on the idea of labels when it comes to mental health and how they might not be the most appropriate way of helping people. Chloe shares the story of how she met a nurse that helped her finally understand her condition, which allowed her to make positive changes and face it head on.BEST MOMENTS
“Everybody has different ways of dealing with depression, but a top tip is ‘don’t suppress your emotions’.”
“Everyone tells you to talk about it, which is great, but I’m not sure everybody is prepared to hear it.”
“We should normalise depression instead of making it a taboo subject. Let’s let everyone know that it’s ok to not feel ok.”

This week Dawn welcomed a new grandchild into the family which sparked the idea for this episode. Dawn and Tracy are back to discuss growing old gracefully, being glamorous grannies in business, dropping the responsibilities of parenthood as grandparents, and how we’re growing wiser, not older. Is growing old the same for everyone? And how can we make sure our sons don’t repeat the mistakes many do?
KEY TAKEAWAYS
For Dawn, growing old gracefully is all about not trying to salvage a youthful look with lip fillers, it’s about allowing yourself to look your age but still look amazing. Accept your age and make the most of it rather than trying to hold on to something that’s gone. For Tracy it’s about maturing and getting wiser, rather than growing older. It’s a fascinating process stepping back and watching your child become a parent, you can see where your legacy in life really is. Your children and how they raise their children is so much down to you and who you were to them. When you’ve been a single parent you want to make sure you raise your sons to be good parents because you know what can happen if someone isn’t there and doesn’t step up. Having grandchildren hasn’t made Dawn feel old, it’s made her feel proud seeing who her children have become and realising the meaning of legacy.BEST MOMENTS
‘I refuse to let go of that status, we can retain our hotness in older age’
‘Growing old is a bit of a dirty word’
‘Nobody wants their grandmother having an OnlyFans account’

On a recent trip to a hardware store, Dawn’s husband was propositioned by an older lady, which got Dawn and Tracy thinking about what are the rules of engagement for older people when it comes to matters of the heart.

The ladies discuss what qualities they think men are attracted to in older women that younger women don’t have.

“I think I’m a catch and if someone wants to chat me up I know it’s because of my personality.”
“Older women are more confident in the bedroom. They know what they like and how they like to do it.”

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?

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.”
“Sometimes the best thing to do is take a second to stop and reassess where you are.”
“Everybody has bad days, and that’s ok.”
