    84 - Jacques Delorme - Driving Out of Darkness

    Welcome to COURAGEOUS AF Being Human Takes Guts Today's episode is my conversation with Jacques Delorme, a man who survived an incredibly traumatic accident that changed his life.  Trigger warning: This episode is graphic and shares details about an accident involving a pedestrian and a vehicle. Please take care while listening, and if sensitive to graphic content, I advise skipping this one. I think his story is incredible, and it's hard to hear. But what he had done to heal and now help others is important to share with you.  * Trauma recovery and resilience * Mindset and habit development * Morning routines and self-care practices Jacques Delorme Mindfulness Specialist TEDx Speaker - Top 10 October 2025 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oler7JsKY3M Author: Driving Out of Darkness www.drivingoutofdarkness.com  visports@sasktel.net ------------ For questions, to join my email list for upcoming retreats and offerings, for guest inquiries, or to submit your own story of courage, email Kyle at: kyle@kyle-creative.com ------------ If you'd like to support this podcast, I've set up an account here: https://buymeacoffee.com/courageousaf Any offering is deeply appreciated as I continue to grow.
