Curious about what truly makes life fulfilling? Join Shawna Rodrigues for this re-release of one of the earliest episodes of The Grit Show as she challenges the conventional Bucket List mentality with a story that’s both personal and universally relatable. Discover how a potential terminal diagnosis served as a wake-up call to focus on living with intent today, rather than deferring dreams to a distant future. In this episode, Shawna shares valuable perspectives on bridging the gap between aspirations and actions and offers insight on how to prioritize what truly matters. Are you ready to reconsider your approach to life and joy?
Shawna Rodrigues left her award-winning career in the public sector in 2019 and after launching The Grit Show, soon learned the abysmal fact that women hosted only 27% of podcasts. This led to the founding of the Authentic Connections Podcast Network intent on raising that number by 10% in five years- 37 by 27. Because really, shouldn’t it be closer to 50%? She now focuses on helping purpose driven solopreneurs find their ideal clients through podcasting. She believes that the first step is guesting on podcasts - check out her tip sheet and once you've built your business and are ready for the full-service support for podcasting production and mentoring, she'll help you launch the podcast you were meant for. She still finds a little time for her pursuits as a best-selling author and shares the hosting of Author Express, a podcast that features the voice behind the pages of your favorite book.
