Why anticipating obstacles builds resilience, not pessimism—and how to plan for real-life roadblocks before they derail your goals.
Obstacles don’t mean you’re off track—they mean you’re on it. But if you’re not planning for the challenges that show up along the way, even the best strategy can crumble under pressure.
In this episode of The Self Trust Solution Podcast, Dawn shares her signature framework—the Obstacle Abatement Plan™—and how it helps high-achieving entrepreneurs and leaders stop spinning out when things get hard and start building momentum that lasts.
You’ll learn:
✅Why obstacles are inevitable (and not a sign of failure)
✅How to reduce overwhelm and decision fatigue when setbacks happen

✅Why Dawn’s most consistent obstacle wasn’t a task—it was a feeling (discouragement)
✅How to create a simple, strategic plan that keeps you on track when resistance hits
✅Why planning for obstacles is one of the most powerful ways to build self-trust
Whether you’re working on a big professional goal or recovering from a detour, this episode will help you stay grounded, focused, and forward-moving—no matter what comes your way.
