Lou Redmond

Lou Redmond is a transformation coach, inspirational speaker, author and meditation guide. He describes his approach as honest and relatable, offering hope and support to people on the path of meditation, self-discovery and meaningful work. His meditations have been listened to over 2 million times, and his online courses have enrolled over 75,000 students.

His own path began at age 25, when a profound spiritual awakening led him to quit his corporate job and pursue his life's purpose. By his account, he had no idea what he was doing. He wrote of battling insecurity, jealousy, fear and doubt, and of leaning on mentors, guides and a trust that he would be supported if he kept following his heart. He has since become an author, coach and speaker, and the founder of One Mindful Education, an organization that brings meditation, yoga and mindfulness into schools across the country.

Lou is the author of Find Your Truth: A Modern Day Story About Finding Life's Purpose. He also teaches meditation teachers, coaches and spiritual guides how to write clear, grounded meditations and build sustainable work with integrity, including through Insight Timer. He writes a weekly newsletter and hosts a podcast, and he has said he facilitates retreats where guests from across the political spectrum connect with one another.

He does not present himself as a guru. He calls himself "a friend on the journey," and says his work is about helping people trust themselves, love the process and create beauty in their lives and work, rather than telling them what to do.
