In this special World Suicide Prevention Day episode of Waste Not Want Not, I sit down with my friend Michael Finlay, who courageously shares his lived experience of a dark and oppressive time of overwhelming depression and anxiety - a journey he describes as “to hell and back.”
Michael opens his heart to reveal the struggles that can lead someone to consider ending their life, offering much-needed insight into a solution that lives within us all - the often forgotten human art of compassion, attentive listening, and genuine connection. This deeply honest and heartwarming conversation breaks down stigma, sparks hope, and reminds us that every life matters; and that by opening our minds and hearts to these difficult conversations, we can learn to pause, listen, and truly see one another - not rush to fix or control with answers, but create space where people feel seen and heard because every person has value and deserves unconditional love.
