PINK 365: Reality TV, Public Life, and Navigating Stage IV Cancer with Katie Thurston

In this episode of Pink 365, Miranda sits down with reality TV star and advocate Katie Thurston for a conversation that is as unexpected as it is urgent.Katie rose to fame on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, built a massive platform, fell deeply in love, and was stepping into the life she had worked so hard to build — when she was suddenly diagnosed with stage IV hormone-positive breast cancer.Miranda was 19 when she was diagnosed with stage III hormone-positive breast cancer. Katie was 34. Both were in the public eye. Both were told their diagnoses were “rare.” And both were forced to confront a disease that too many women are still taught to misunderstand.Together, they unpack the science behind hormone-positive breast cancer, genetic risk, misdiagnosis, and the realities of living with a stage IV diagnosis — alongside the emotional weight of navigating illness publicly, protecting mental health, falling in love while facing uncertainty, and redefining what the future looks like.This episode is raw, honest, and deeply human — a conversation about fear, resilience, rage, love, and why women’s health can’t wait.
