From TV Production to a New Industry: Shari Cedar on Self-Trust and Reinvention

What happens when the career you built no longer aligns with who you’re becoming?

In this Season 3 episode of The Self Trust Solution Podcast, Dawn Ledet sits down with Shari Cedar, who shares her journey from executive television production to co-owning and leading one of Florida’s top commercial cleaning companies.
Shari opens up about the pivotal moments that led her to step into a completely different industry — not with certainty, but with self-trust. She reflects on navigating change, facing failure honestly, and learning how to lead with confidence, values, and adaptability as her role evolved.
In this conversation, we explore:

What it looks like to trust yourself during a major career transition
Letting go of identity tied to past success
Leading through uncertainty and growth
Using self-trust as a decision-making compass
Why values and instincts matter more than a “perfect plan”

This episode is for anyone standing at a crossroads — questioning a career path, navigating change, or learning how to trust themselves through growth and reinvention.
