Shawna Rodrigues is the Founder & Director of Impact at Authentic Connections Network.
After leaving her award-winning career in the public sector, Shawna found the alignment of her many talents and passions in podcasting. It started when she launched The Grit Show; a podcast that creates a community around purpose, alignment, and growth. Where scrappy survivors come together as seekers and thrivers. After learning the abysmal fact women host only 27% podcasts, she founded the Authentic Connections Network with the audacious goal to raise that 10% in the next 5 years- 37 by 27. The Authentic Connections Network takes the tech and stress out of podcasting and creates a supportive community that will shift trajectories and amplify voices. She also shares hosting of the Author Express podcast and has plans to launch a podcast focused on showcasing podcasts hosted by women. Find her on Instagram- @ShawnaPodcasts.
