Listen Later

After three near death experiences and a lifetime of change, Benoit Kim, a French Korean American, has come to discover profound insights on life and developed a passion for mental health advocacy and psychedelic therapy.

“Often, the most gratifying and profound lessons in life come with pain and suffering, and mine are no exception."

In this episode of Grit, Grace, & Inspiration, host Kevin Lowe interviews psychotherapist and Discover More podcast host, Benoit Kim. Benoit talks about his childhood growing up all over the world before coming to America as a teenager. He shares the reason behind him deciding to join the United States Military and discusses the impact this decision would have on his own mental health. We also get to discover what would lead Benoit to launch his own podcast, Discover More.


Throughout the conversation, Benoit Kim is very open and honest, pulling back the curtain on three near death experiences that have left him with profound insights on life. Towards the end of the conversation, Benoit discusses the subject matter of sexual trauma, which is a big part of his story.


The overall arching theme in today's episode is the awareness of mental health and to encourage us all to discover more about ourselves, about each other, and about the world.
