π A powerful conversation on metastatic breast cancer & intimacy
We wanted to share a powerful podcast that explores something many people experience but donβt always feel able to talk about openly, intimacy while living with metastatic breast cancer.
In this Mamamia Well episode, our 2026 Pink Bun Campaign Ambassador Emily shares her journey from being diagnosed at 26 to now living with metastatic breast cancer. She speaks with honesty and vulnerability about how cancer has impacted her body, her relationships, and her sense of identity. From early menopause and financial stress to intimacy, marriage and navigating other people's expectations, she speaks candidly about the challenges of living with a disease that has no cure.
What makes this conversation so powerful is the way it creates space for real, human experiences
π the shifts in intimacy and connection
π the emotional and physical changes that can feel hard to explain
π the importance of communication, understanding and compassion
Itβs a reminder that these challenges are not something you have to carry alone.
