Trust That You're Good Enough | Dr. Trudy Goodman

This week’s conversation is with Dr. Trudy Goodman, the founding teacher of InsightLA and cofounder of the Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy. 

Trudy has trained in mindfulness and Zen since 1973, holds a graduate degree in developmental psychology from Harvard, and is one of the senior Buddhist teachers in the U.S.  

She has taught at universities and retreat centers worldwide for 25 years. 

Trudy is widely known for her role as Trudy the Love Barbarian in the Netflix series "Midnight Gospel”. 

She is a contributing author to the Clinical Handbook of Mindfulness, Compassion and Wisdom in Psychotherapy, and Mindfulness and Psychotherapy.

And she’s also married to Jack Kornfield, who we were fortunate to have on the podcast just a few weeks back!

Trudy is a truly, a special human being.

In this conversation we discuss so much… the importance of trusting yourself and why that ultimately starts with loving yourself, which can be a big hurdle for some of us.

We also touch on Trudy's spiritual framework, which focuses on the relationship between the mind and the heart.

It's about allowing herself to be informed by intuition (the wisdom of the heart) rather than solely her analytical, cerebral mind.
