What Crab Nets and Carburetors Taught Me...

Dawn Ledet, The Self Trust Coach
About this episode

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.
