Founder
The Heart Behind the WorkWhat has always made Shaping Women Naturally unique is not scale or visibility, but intention.From the beginning, SWN has been stewarded entirely as a labor of love. It has never been Dawn Hall’s full-time paid work, but a voluntary offering of time, creativity, resources, and presence—given alongside her professional endeavors. This posture shaped everything that followed: slow growth, thoughtful discernment, and a commitment to quality over quantity.
Across the years, Dawn’s entrepreneurial path has included launching nutritional supplements, authoring a fitness handbook, developing a botanical skincare line, and mentoring women across multiple industries. Yet the work she has consistently returned to—the one that has carried the greatest meaning—has been creating spaces where women feel seen, supported, and strengthened in both life and work.
“I wake up every day with the desire to lift the next woman up,” Dawn has often shared. “All glory to God—I’m simply the vessel He moves through.”
That sense of calling formed the backbone of SWN.
A Legacy of Giving and Stewardship
As the community grew, so did its capacity to give. Over time, Shaping Women Naturally became known for extending purpose-driven grants designed to meet women where they were—through financial support, strategic guidance, creative services, and relational investment.
More than $150,000 has been stewarded through SWN in the form of grants, cash support, coaching, design, publishing, event planning, and collaborative services. These offerings were never transactional; they were relational—rooted in listening, discernment, and trust.
Rather than relying solely on large gatherings, Dawn increasingly invested in one-on-one conversations and smaller, intentional connections, allowing support to be shaped by real needs rather than generalized programs. This approach strengthened the community quietly, deeply, and sustainably.
The Magazine & Community Presence
The Women in Business Magazine emerged as a natural extension of this work—serving as an annual keepsake that honored the women who participated in SWN gatherings and initiatives. Printed with care and designed to last, the magazine reflected the same values as the community itself: excellence, authenticity, and meaningful connection.
Distributed through events, workshops, and digital formats, the magazine became a trusted resource—shared, revisited, and returned to. Alongside a growing online presence, SWN continued to amplify the voices and accomplishments of women entrepreneurs who valued long-term relationships over short-term exposure.

Where We Are Now
Every season of growth eventually asks a different kind of faithfulness.
Shaping Women Naturally has never been about constant expansion. It has been about discernment—knowing when to gather, when to give, and when to listen more deeply. The community, the grants, the magazine, and the events were not endpoints; they were expressions of a deeper work unfolding over time.
Today, SWN stands as a living legacy of what has been built—and as a quiet invitation into what is still being formed. The heart remains the same: kindness, generosity, integrity, and wisdom shaped through lived experience.
What was gathered has not been lost.
What was given continues to bear fruit.
And what comes next is being stewarded with the same care that has always guided this work.
