#403 Blanche de Richemont : Trouver en nous le courage pour vivre pleinement

Anne Ghesquière welcomes Blanche de Richemont, a French writer, philosopher, lecturer, and adventurer, to Metamorphosis. What common link exists between a mother of six children, a former director of the RAID, a hermit, a travel writer, an Afghan diplomat, and a Paralympic athlete? Courage! Alone in an isolated cabin in the middle of winter, she questioned this notion, which our society no longer encourages us to embrace. Drawing on her own life experience and the testimonies of personalities with very different backgrounds, Blanche de Richemont explores where ardor and fervor lie and how the impetus we sometimes lack is born. In this episode, she makes us reflect on the meaning we want to give to life. Episode #403 With Blanche de Richemont, I will address the following topics (excerpts from the questions): Do you think we live in a society that lacks courage, a "sleeping" society that allows itself to be enslaved? What are courage and fervor? Does courage necessarily lead to great things? Is courage sacrificial? This word is jarring, as you say! You make a connection between courage and light. What is it? How can we become courageous enough to live fully? Who is my guest, Blanche de Richemont? Blanche de Richemont leads desert walks centered around Joy, which for her is the great quest of life. She also dedicated her first book to the sublime, inspired by the desert: In Praise of the Desert (Presses de la Renaissance). Her book, The Breath of the Master, in 2015 (Presses de la Renaissance) received the Alef Booksellers' Prize for Wellness and Spirituality, and her Little Dictionary of Joy (2017, Editions Philippe Rey) has been the subject of numerous conferences and workshops.

"The beauty of the world always lifts us up." "Our soul is there and tells us, 'I want breath, I want to live, I want to enter your life.'" "When you walk aiming for a star, you can walk far." #BlanchedeRichemont #LesPressesdelacité #courage #ardor Find the Metamorphose Podcast on Instagram & Facebook https://www.instagram.com/metamorphos...   / metamorphosepodcast   Subscribe to the newsletter here: https://www.metamorphosepodcast.com/ Discover The Metamorphose Wheel and the 9 pillars of your life for free! https://metamorphosepodcast.outgrow.u...
