Better Call Daddy

285. Denied then Diagnosed Philecia La’Bounty Stage 4 Cancer Survivor and Fighter

1-in 8 women will get diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States in their lifetime and yet women still have to fight for proper healthcare.  Today I'm talking to Philecia La'Bounty about being misdiagnosed and being told she had a benign cyst at 29.  She was in the best shape of her life, internationally modeling, and she didn't look or feel sick.  She had never had an issue.  Blindsided by a diagnosis she's now spreading awareness about the importance of getting a mammogram and biopsies.  As seen on the Dr. Phil show for medical gaslighting, Good Morning America, and in People Magazine, Philecia is now getting all the testing she needs and is on a mission to save other people.  Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space for Controversy.

Reena loves a story, and she‘s fascinated by the people behind them. She loves to bring stories to life. Her appetite for storytelling has taken her from the Jerry Springer Show to the legal drama of the courtroom. From influential players to reality stars, nothing is censored here. Reena interviews people whose stories haven‘t been told, at least not through her unique lens, and then gets daddy‘s advice afterward like a good daughter does.
Whether you have daddy issues or a father who‘s inspired your path, you will be able to tap into my daddy‘s wisdom, wit, and humor at the end of every episode.  My daddy has been a guiding light my whole life and there‘s not much he doesn‘t know, as an entrepreneur for forty-plus years, a husband, a loyal son, and my number one supporter.  He has learned lots of life lessons along the way and is here to share them with you.  It‘s time to reminisce and reflect on the conversations you‘d like to have with your daddy and learn from mine.  Come share in some good old-fashioned family bonding and help us up our wisdom rating.  There is wisdom from four generations and I’m addressing what happens from childhood to adulthood!
