On October 27, 2024, Chimène Badi was the guest of the
podcast The Lesson. She shared there
rare and intimate confidences. Particularly on the disorder which he was diagnosed with two years ago.
This revelation comes at a time when the artist is in the middle of
promoting his new album, Gospel &
Soul. A daring project which will take her to the stage of the Grand Rex on the day of its release, November 8.
Chimène Badi: “I freed myself from the gaze of others”
This discographic release also symbolizes a certain
personal liberation for the artist. Chimène Badi, who began her career more than two decades ago, is aware of the impact of her job on her well-being. “ I'm doing well because I'm no longer a slave to many things. I freed myself from the gaze of others, from the pressure of my job », she confides with emotion. For a long time, she placed her career at the center of her life, to the point that she forgot her own needs and aspirations. This awareness marked a turning point for the artist. It allowed him to redefine his priorities and get rid of external expectations.
In explaining this change, Chimène Badi depicts her journey towards a more balanced life, where she can flourish off stage. “ Our job is wonderful, especially if it's a job of passion… There, we won everything. It's not supposed to make us unhappy or ruin our lives, and it's not supposed to stop us from believing in ourselves. “, she declares. She thus depicts her evolution towards a healthier and more serene relationship with her career.
A late diagnosis that sheds light on the life of Chimène Badi
This journey towards self-acceptance took a turning point two years ago, whenshe was diagnosed as hypersensitive. For Chimène Badi, this diagnosis was a revelation. Because, until then, she did not understand why her emotions were taking on such importance in her life. She confides: “
I was diagnosed as hypersensitive two years ago, so I understood who I was, why emotions took such a strong place in me. »
The fact of having put a name to what had been inside him for so many years allowed him to free himself from a certain weight. From now on, she no longer feels guilty about her decisions and fully accepts her hypersensitivity. “ They don't bother me because they know that if I say no, it's no. It took me a long time to get there, I felt guilty before
», she adds. This self-affirmation is for Chimène Badi a form of healing. This is what allowed him to find a new balance, both in his personal life and in his career.
