Overcoming Imposter Syndrome with Lou Redmond
This episode of the podcast is a conversation about overcoming Imposter Syndrome. I’m speaking with meditation teacher Lou Redmond, and together we explore this very common fear that often holds good people back from truly expressing their creativity, leadership, and potential in the world.
Episode Details:
Imposter Syndrome is a form of self-doubt that causes us to worry about being enough, knowing enough, or having someone expose us as a fraud. In this episode, we talk about how Imposter Syndrome often comes up when we are trying something new, stepping into a leadership role, or pioneering in an area that others haven’t developed yet.
This secretly-not-good-enough feeling arises in our professional lives, but can also be present in more personal domains like relationships, parenting, spirituality, etc. Lou and I each share examples of when we’ve dealt with Imposter Syndrome in our work, and how we moved through those doubts.
Keys to overcoming imposter syndrome include:
- leaning into action and gaining experience to grow your confidence
- working with a mentor, coach, or therapist to unpack beliefs about your worthiness
- recognizing your integrity and that imposter syndrome may be arising because you care and don’t want to cause harm.
We also touch on the topic of self-improvement, and how (like Imposter Syndrome) it can be driven by a sense of lack or inadequacy. This conversation highlights how inner work and meditation practices can help us recognize our inherent wholeness and trust ourselves more fully.
