Behind the Set: Mental Playbooks From Actress & Author Stephanie Szostak

Behind The Human with Marc Champagne

How does an actress who's shared the screen with Meryl Streep and Robert Downey Jr. handle impostor syndrome? What insights on mental fitness can we gain from someone who's experienced both the highs of stardom and the lows of self-doubt?

Actress and author Stéphanie Szostak / @stephshortstak has graced the silver screen alongside Hollywood heavyweights like Meryl Streep and Robert Downey Jr. in blockbusters like The Devil Wears Prada and Iron Man 3. But even with her impressive resume, Szostak has battled her fair share of self-doubt and impostor syndrome.

In this episode, we'll dive into how Szostak overcame her own mental hurdles to achieve success in the cutthroat world of acting. As the author of Selfish: Step Into a Journey of Self-Discovery to Revive Confidence, Joy, and Meaning, Szostak shares the insights she's gained on mental fitness from her personal journey.

Raised in the Paris suburbs, Szostak moved to the U.S. to study business at the College of William & Mary before pivoting to acting at age 29. As her career skyrocketed, she developed her own "playbook" as a daily practice to cultivate a resilient mindset.

Now, Szostak is on a mission to help others do the same. In our conversation, we'll explore how her unique experiences have shaped her perspective on well-being and the simple strategies she uses to stay grounded in the face of life's highs and lows.
