This episode of The Grit Show is a must-listen for anyone looking to boost their motivation and personal growth. Host Shawna Rodrigues breaks down the Four Core Expectation Framework (which is commonly called The Four Tendencies), emphasizing how obligers and rebels uniquely respond to tasks and expectations. Learn why obligers, who excel with external motivation, struggle with internal goals, and how you can support them to prevent burnout. Shawna also highlights rebel tendencies and shares her personal experience on effective communication strategies with rebels. From recognizing early signs of "Obliger Rebellion" to aligning tasks with a rebel's personal values, Shawna's insights are both practical and profound. Intrigued by how these principles can make life smoother? Tune in to gain a better understanding and actionable steps for yourself and others.
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.

She is the Director of Impact for the network, which offers full-service support for podcasting from mentoring to production. In September 2023 they are also launching the EPAC (Entrepreneurs and Podcasters Authentically Connected) community for those in early stages and wanting a place for weekly connection.

Discover thoughtful tips for tackling tricky holiday hosting challenges, from managing the mental load to knowing what to let go of... and when to rely on options that are store-bought. Uncover the art of simplifying holiday dinners with clever meal-sharing strategies.
This episode also tackles the awkward realities of hosting, like stocking your guest bathroom and setting up effective food stations. Moreover, Shawna and Mara unpack the pressure-cooker of traditional expectations, urging listeners to remember what things bring them pleasure and reminding them you can find joy in small gatherings and smart task delegation. Tune in to transform your festive season into a meaningful, low-stress experience filled with genuine connections.
Mara offers a fabulous (and simple) holiday beverage recipe at the end of the episode and mentions a holiday challenge that you'll want to follow along on her Instagram to learn when it may start (will also update the show notes when the time comes!).
Mara Derikx, the Joyful Hostess, brings over 20 years of entertaining expertise to help others create memorable gatherings with less stress. Growing up in a family that celebrated every occasion, she discovered her passion for hosting early on. After spending nearly 15 years as a financial planner, Mara transformed her hosting philosophy to suit modern, busy lifestyles. She shares invaluable tips for decorating, time and money-saving strategies, organizational techniques, and crowd-pleasing recipes. Drawing from her experience hosting everything from intimate dinner parties to large corporate events, Mara teaches a simplified approach to entertaining that favors connection over perfection. Her motto, "less perfection, more connection," reflects her belief that life's too short not to enjoy your own party.
