Description of the podcast :

The Open Podcast with Mikaël is an authentic podcast that invites listeners to dive deep within themselves. At the lowest times in his life, podcasts and stories of inspiring people were little pats on the back that kept him believing and diving into the journey itself. This is how, in the heart of his experience of illness, he created this podcast. Convinced that it is by opening up in a vulnerable and authentic way to oneself, to others and life, Mikaël will share awarenesses, fears, experiences, and reflections that he will draw from this wonderful journey that is life.

The Open Podcast with Mikaël sees itself as a moment of presence, an opportunity to put everything aside to spend a real moment where time stops and where we speak in all vulnerability about subjects and experiences allowing listeners to find powerful resonances with their own experience. The episodes will focus on personal experiences and lessons learned by Mikaël and the guests. Whether you're looking to overcome daily challenges or simply take a break to reflect and connect with yourself, The Open Podcast with Mikaël offers a variety of content with the simple goal of helping.

Once or twice a month, content will be made available to the public to make a small difference in the life of one person per week. The full episodes solo or with a guest will not, however, be published according to a predefined schedule, but rather when his heart makes him feel that it is the moment.

Why do this podcast:

Without really trying to understand why or analyze the why and how of it going where, following my hospitalization, I decided to listen to my heart and start to share my vision of things, my awareness of life, spiritual learning, my philosophy, my experience with emptiness, silence, illness, etc.

Without going into detail, in the two years preceding the start of this adventure, I had experiences that I did not expect to have. I experienced, in my world, the most difficult moments of my life. On the other hand, I am most grateful because by accepting these experiences as a challenge, a training, an opportunity, I delved into myself like never before and I came out more than grown. During these moments, life offered me a time to be in the unknown, the void, the nothing and I opened that door wide open and dove head first into my mind contemplating it and contemplating nature for hours, days, and weeks, which transformed my perspective on these elements in a powerful way.Also, thanks in part to podcasts, programs, films and inspiring stories, I was able to not just stay the course, but to stay inspired throughout the illness and adopt a different perspective about what I was going through and about life. It wasn't just motivational speeches, confidence, hope or acceptance, but also real people who shared their philosophy in all vulnerability which ensured that I never felt alone. We all go through certain things, we all experience emotions, problems and beliefs that lead us to the fear of not being enough or not deserving of love if we don't do X, of having to be strong otherwise. Y, etc. But I believe that the more people will take the time and have the courage to look inside themselves and share vulnerably and authentically what they are experiencing, what they are feeling and how they are dealing with the storms of everyday life, the more we will really create a new world.

I feel the need to share, I feel the need to help, to make a difference in someone's life because the people I listened to in the last 24 months made a difference in my life and it was someone, without naming him, who said to me: “Thank you, we don’t talk about these things and it’s difficult to admit it, but the little words of hope that you put on Instagram have made the difference in my life...” And it’s for this person that I do it. For the person who will, through what I am going to share, recognize themselves, and who will no longer feel alone, will now have the courage to look in the mirror, to maintain hope, to change their perspective, etc.

And it's for me that I do it, for the moments when I needed someone to tell me: it's okay, it will pass, it's happening for you. Well, I'm that person for myself now. I don't know where this will lead. I don't know how it's going to continue, if anyone is going to listen to it, if I'm going to try to grow bigger, if I'm going to look crazy, if it's going to be relevant. But, one thing I know is that I do it for the right reasons, I do it following my heart and hoping to touch one person and make a difference in one person's life, no matter how this turns out. experience. With that, welcome to The Open Podcast with Mikaël.
