Louis-Olivier Desmarais

Je me suis rappelée que j’existais is an intimate and striking podcast series rooted in the lived experiences of Michelle and Louise, two women living at Maisons de l’Ancre.

​

Through their powerful stories, we are drawn into a world often rendered invisible: that of recovery following lives marked by violence, exclusion, and trauma.

​

These voices—authentic and lucid—share with great generosity the challenges of everyday life, moments of falling, subtle victories, and the beauty of human connection. The podcast explores themes such as homelessness, mental health, addiction, dissociation, embodiment, shame, and the transformative power of support.

More than a testimony, this series offers a space for listening and transformation—an instrument for awareness and a tribute to the many paths through which one rebuilds a sense of self.
