FOUNDER
Dawn Hall is the visionary founder of Shaping Women Naturally (SWN) Magazine & Events, a dynamic platform dedicated to empowering women through connection, collaboration, and community. A seasoned entrepreneur with over 35 years of experience in health and fitness, Dawn has made it her life’s mission to help women become the best versions of themselves.
SWN started as a small passion project that quickly blossomed into a vibrant community. The SWN Women’s Business Expo, a cornerstone of the initiative, began with just 8 exhibitors and expanded to 40 in only 8 weeks, drawing 160 attendees. This rapid growth reflects Dawn’s dedication to creating spaces where women can come together, share ideas, and inspire one another.
What’s even more remarkable is that SWN is not Dawn’s full-time paid job. It's run entirely on a volunteer basis. Despite the demands of her professional life, Dawn devotes her time, energy, and resources to ensuring that SWN remains a beacon of support and empowerment for women everywhere.
Dawn’s entrepreneurial journey is marked by diverse achievements. She has launched her own line of supplements, authored a fitness handbook, and developed a botanical skincare line. However, her most meaningful accomplishment is fostering a community where women from all walks of life can connect and thrive. She discovered her true calling in bringing women together to support and elevate each other in business and beyond.
"I wake up every day with the inspiration to lift the next woman up," Dawn shares. "All glory to God—I'm just the vessel He moves through to fulfill His purposes on earth."
This sense of purpose is at the heart of SWN. The magazine and events are thoughtfully curated to reflect the principle of quality over quantity, ensuring that every aspect—from exhibitors to speakers—embodies the spirit of excellence as well as a kindhearted, authentic atmosphere. Dawn’s unwavering commitment to uplifting women, all while volunteering her time, makes her a true force for positive change in the community.
SWN Magazine & Community
SWN - Women in Business Magazine is a distinctive annual publication that emphasizes community, connection, and collaboration. Each issue features participants from the year’s Women’s Business Expo, making it a vibrant, full-color keepsake, printed on thick, glossy paper, that readers often cherish by their favorite reading chair.
Initially distributed at the Expo, the magazine continues to reach audiences throughout the year at networking events and workshops. It is also available online as a PDF download and in a convenient flipbook format. Trusted within the community, SWN serves as a valuable resource for referrals and insights.
With a social media reach of over 6,000 quality accounts per month and a steadily growing follower base, SWN keeps its community engaged with updates on events, workshops, and the accomplishments of fellow entrepreneurs.
The magazine enjoys prime placement on the SWN website’s homepage for a full year and remains available under the “Magazine” tab indefinitely. Our community attracts women entrepreneurs, small business owners, and startups who value authentic, long-term relationships. It fosters a collaborative environment, encouraging women to launch new ventures or refresh established ones.
SWN is a growing, inclusive community, built on passion and generosity. This initiative is a labor of love for the founder, a personal investment, ensuring both the magazine and the Expo deliver meaningful experiences for everyone involved.
