Episode Synopsis

In this special episode of “The Empathic Leader,” Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller opens up about one of the most transformative experiences of her life — giving her first TEDx Talk on self-empathy and self-judgment.Melissa shares the emotional, vulnerable, and deeply human side of preparing for the red dot — from the nerves of condensing years of research into 12 minutes, to the self-doubt that whispered, “Who am I to be on this stage?”Through it all, she discovered the heart of what she teaches every day: empathy and judgment can’t exist in the same space. This episode is a reflection on that truth — and an invitation to practice self-empathy as the foundation for leading with compassion, courage, and authenticity.If you’ve ever struggled with imposter syndrome, perfectionism, or the fear of being “too much” or “not enough,” this conversation is for you.► Watch my latest TEDx Talk on “5 steps to start being kinder to yourself” : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaoXSEWeILo Grab my #1 Amazon Bestselling Book “The Empathic Leader”: https://a.co/d/6mKtblASubscribe to the Show ► @theempathicleader Listen in any of your favorite podcast platform:► APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/ph/podcast/the-empathic-leader/id1796715528 ► SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/6ChVQGgl5l1jqAfxdoR0EG?si=1wRZC3DbS9KvhLYTggkuhg► AMAZON: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/0158b2cb-7bec-4135-a2c0-2f594d21109b/the-empathic-leaderCONNECT WITH ME:► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/empathyqueen.eq/ ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/eqviaempathy ► LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-melissa-a-robinson-winemiller-author-speaker-trainer/► About Dr. Robinson-Winemiller:What do empathy and a treadmill have in common?
