Show Notes

In Episode 4 of Pelly’s Podcast, Michael sits down with Bianca Innes for an incredibly raw and powerful conversation about resilience, perspective and what it means to keep moving forward when life changes in an instant. At just 20 years old, Bianca was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer after initially being told she was too young to be concerned. Trusting her instincts and continuing to push for answers ultimately led to a diagnosis that would completely change the course of her life. Bianca opens up about the reality of facing cancer at such a young age, advocating for yourself when something doesn’t feel right, navigating treatment, fertility and motherhood, and the grief and challenges she has faced along the way. Today, Bianca continues to use her experience to help others feel heard and less alone. Alongside Dakota Middleby, she co-hosts Bits & Boobs, a podcast born from their experiences with breast cancer in their twenties. Together, they have honest and often unfiltered conversations about cancer, health, relationships, identity and the parts of life that people don’t always talk about. This is an episode about far more than cancer. It’s about resilience, family, perspective, speaking up for yourself and finding purpose through some of life’s hardest moments. Real conversations. Real stories. Real lessons. All with one goal: raising $1 million for FightMND. Episode 4 of Pelly’s Podcast with Bianca Innes.
