Anyway
Anyway… The Podcast with Kellie Finlayson & Sophie Edwards
Anyway… where real talk meets real life.
Hosted by author and cancer advocate Kellie Finlayson and speaker, podcast host and bowel cancer advocate Sophie Edwards, this podcast dives into the conversations people are often too afraid to have.
From cancer, chronic illness and motherhood to relationships, resilience and the messy, hilarious moments in between, nothing is off limits.
With raw honesty, dark humour and the occasional unhinged tangent (that always somehow comes back to “anyway”), Kellie and Sophie share stories that are heartfelt, empowering and laugh-out-loud relatable.
Because life doesn’t always go to plan. But anyway, we keep going.
