Honor Eastly is a writer, artist, podcaster and mental health worker who has made a career of talking about the stuff most of us really don't want to talk about. Her podcasts Being Honest With My Ex and Starving Artist explored love, heartbreak, rejection, anger, cash, creativity, and class.Last year she teamed up with the ABC to create No Feeling Is Final, that traced her own mental health story. Like all her work it dealt with money, heartbreak, depression, and suicide. Alongside the strange, mundane, day-to-day realities of sometimes wanting to die. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In 'No Feeling is Final ' from the ABC the writer and podcaster Honor Eastly presents a highly personal account of her experiences of living with anxiety and suicidal thoughts. The show weaves together years' worth of audio diaries with scripted narrative and recreations of scenes from her past. It creates a moving memoir about mental health that's difficult and heartbreaking and confronting at times, but also speaks powerfully and with humour about the experience of living with a cruel voice in your head that's always trying to put you down. We play some of Episode 1 of 'No Feeling Is Final' from the ABC called The Voice presented by Honor Eastly, produced by Alice Moldovan, the sound engineer's Russell Stapleton, and the Executive Producer is Joel Werner.
