KylEast Singer, Songwriter: An Artist’s Journey With An Eating Disorder

Today we have a special episode that features a very special guest that talks with me about a difficult and important topic. 

To go even deeper into how triggers might be affecting us, I wanted to open up the conversation to specifically include those of you who might be struggling with an addiction or are in a recovery process, which brings an extra layer to managing and coping during quarantine. So I brought on a guest who will share her experience with you about her journey with having an eating disorder. 

She is KylEast, a powerful singer songwriter who just released her new single CHAINS. Stay tuned to the end of this episode to be able to listen to the song in it’s entirety.

A recent review of the song by All Ashore explains the theme really well:

“[KylEast] tackles body dysmorphia and anorexia in another industrial, synth-laden gut punch. Her words begin as hushed lamentations before leaping into a full rage against the commodification of self, spitting such condemnations as “Here she is / Your worthless wonder,” with as much contempt as empathy.  It lays bare the horrors of feeling ashamed of your own body while still attempting to talk yourself out of a hole. Her delivery is drenched with conviction and the drive of someone who has personal experience with the words they sing. If KylEast aimed for a body image anthem, she has absolutely succeeded.”
