A Mindful Approach to Imposter Syndrome, with Lou Redmond and Sean Fargo

Imposter syndrome is felt by new and experienced mindfulness teachers alike. It is a common human experience. Of course, we’d prefer not to feel uncomfortable, and instead, to feel ever-confident in our practice and teachings. In reality, however, imposter syndrome need not be overcome.

By taking a mindful approach to imposter syndrome, we can welcome it as an indicator of our care, humility, courage and growth.

In this episode, Sean Fargo speaks with Lou Redmond, meditation teacher, author, and host of the mindfulness podcast, The Art & Business of Meditation. Lou shares suggestions on how we might transform and transcend the experience of imposter syndrome, instead of overcoming it.
