What do setting crab nets in Louisiana and rebuilding carburetors in my dad’s garage (or mom's dining room table) have to do with your business and leadership today?

More than you think.

In this episode of The Self Trust Solution, I’m taking you back to the ordinary (and sometimes messy) places where I unknowingly learned self-trust—doing hard things with joy, stepping outside my comfort zone, honoring commitments, and following through.

These stories aren’t just nostalgic; they’re proof that you already have evidence of self-trust in your life. And when you build your business on that foundation, effort becomes rooted, follow-through becomes meaningful, and success becomes sustainable.

We’ll explore:

• Why joy makes hard work feel lighter

• How “blissful ignorance” is a self-trust strategy

• Why ordinary past experiences hold extraordinary clues for your future success

• The 3 skills you need to achieve anything with clarity and confidence

Whether you’re leading a team, running a business, or simply trying to follow through on your own goals—you’ll walk away seeing yourself differently.

📌 Mentioned in this episode:

• Self Trust Strategy Snapshot™ — Get instant clarity on your next best move.

• Self Trust Boost™ — A 7-day experience to reconnect with your self-trust.

• The Self Trust Solution Podcast — Explore more episodes and resources.

Most entrepreneurs and leaders think “having your own back” just means being nice to yourself or cutting yourself some slack.
But in reality—it’s a strategic advantage that changes how you approach every goal, decision, and challenge on your path to success.

In this episode of The Self Trust Solution Podcast, Dawn Ledet breaks down why having your own back is more than self-care—it’s an operating system for sustainable success. You’ll learn how self-trust helps you make firm decisions, follow through when it’s uncomfortable, and stop letting momentary setbacks or “now comforts” derail your long-term vision.

You’ll discover how to:

• Replace drama with data so you can adjust strategically instead of starting over.

• Use both wins and misses as fuel for your next best move.

• Anticipate resistance without losing momentum.

• Celebrate the discomfort you’ve moved through as much as the results you’ve created.

When you have your own back, you stop abandoning your vision in the messy middle.
You make success inevitable—not because it’s always smooth, but because it’s always strategic.

Have you ever found yourself frustrated because something should be different than it is? Whether it’s a relationship, a job, or even your computer freezing at the worst moment, so much of our frustration comes from resisting reality. In this episode, I break down the “Should Factor”—the hidden energy drain that keeps us stuck in cycles of frustration and resentment. You’ll learn how to stop arguing with reality (without pretending to like it), reclaim your energy, and make decisions that truly support you moving forward.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Frustration often comes from resisting reality, not the situation itself.
• Acceptance doesn’t mean agreement—it means choosing where to put your energy.
• Shifting from arguing to self-support allows you to move forward with clarity.
• You get to decide how to respond to what is, rather than getting stuck in what should be.

Until next time, trust yourself- because you can!
