Logic vs. Emotions - Is it Easy to Intellectualize our Feelings? -122

Are you someone who prides themselves on being logical, or do you find yourself more in tune with your emotions? In this episode of The Grit Show, Shawna Rodrigues challenges the conventional wisdom around being logical by exploring the often-overlooked counterpart: feelings. Drawing from personal experiences with breast cancer and her background in social work, Shawna explores the balance between intellectualism and emotional expression. If you've ever felt stuck in your head when you need to engage with your heart, this episode is your guide to navigating the complex interplay between thinking and feeling. Tune in to discover why sometimes the most logical step is to allow yourself to simply feel.

When Shawna Rodrigues discovered that women hosted only 27% of podcasts, she knew something had to change. After leaving her award-winning public sector career in 2019 and launching The Grit Show, she founded the Authentic Connections Podcast Network with one bold mission: 37 by 27—raising that percentage to 37% by 2027. Because really, shouldn't it be closer to 50%?

Now she helps purpose-driven solopreneurs find their ideal clients through podcasting, starting with her proven first step: guesting on podcasts - check out her tip sheet.

Currently facing her biggest plot twist yet—a breast cancer diagnosis in early 2025—this year is about her fight, victory, and healing. Join her warrior community Being Honest and check out the podcast episode where she shares more.
