PINK365: Dr. Lucky Sekhon on the Truth About Your Fertility

This week, I’m joined by Dr. Lucky Sekhon—board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, OBGYN, and author of The Lucky Egg—to break down what’s really going on with your fertility. From understanding your cycle to egg freezing, IVF, and the biggest misconceptions women carry, this episode is about replacing fear with clarity. We talk about the quiet pressure so many of us feel around timelines, the gaps in education that leave women guessing, and what it actually looks like to advocate for yourself inside a doctor’s office. If you’ve ever thought “I’ll figure it out later,” this episode will change the way you think about your body—and give you the tools to start asking better questions now. By the end, you’ll walk away with: * A clearer understanding of how your fertility actually works * The confidence to navigate testing, timelines, and options * Language to advocate for yourself in medical spaces This conversation is part of Pink 365—a series dedicated to making women’s health conversations something we live in, not something we visit once a year.

PINK365: Dr. Anne Peled on Rethinking Breast Cancer Surgery

#PINK365: Dr. Anne Peled on Rethinking Breast Cancer Surgery out NOW!!!!! Today on Pink 365, Miranda sits down with breast cancer and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Anne Peled to talk about how breast cancer surgery has evolved — and what that evolution actually means for patients. They unpack advice on how women can make surgical decisions in the middle of fear and uncertainty, the real differences between reconstruction options, and why preserving nipples, nerves, and sensation can significantly impact long-term quality of life. Dr. Peled describes her current surgical practices, why she recommends movement to her patients to aid recovery, and what outcomes patients should be thinking about not just six weeks after surgery — but six years later. As a two-time breast cancer survivor herself, Dr. Peled brings a perspective that bridges clinical expertise and lived experience. Her time on both sides of the consultation room has shaped how she talks about risk, guides decision-making, and defines what a “good outcome” truly means. It’s a conversation grounded in both science and empathy — and in understanding that treatment is about more than removing disease; it’s about preserving the life someone returns to afterward. This episode is supported by MBC Cure and Cancer Culture — two organizations working to change the way we approach breast cancer from both the research and patient-experience sides. MBC Cure is focused on advancing metastatic breast cancer research with urgency and intention, while Cancer Culture is building community and modernizing the conversation around what living with cancer actually looks like. Their work reflects what we talk about here on Pink 365: informed decisions, honest dialogue, and care that considers the whole person. You can learn more about their missions and how to get involved in the show notes.

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.

PINK 365: Talking Invisible Illness, Social Media, and Slaying Stage 4 Cancer with Sydney Towle

In this episode of Pink 365, I’m joined by Sydney Towle — creator, storyteller, and one of the most radically honest voices on the internet today. Sydney has built a deeply loyal community by sharing her life with transparency, courage, and vulnerability — even when the conversation is uncomfortable, even when the scrutiny is loud, and even when the outcome is uncertain. Together, we talk about what it really means to live loudly while carrying something heavy in the background. We unpack the complexities of the cancer community — how connection can feel both unifying and isolating — and what it’s like to share your illness publicly in a digital world that doesn’t always lead with compassion. Sydney opens up about navigating online criticism, the emotional impact of Reddit discourse, and how things shifted after being covered by The New York Times. We also talk about friendship, support, and the moments that matter most when life gets hard — what helps, what hurts, and why it can feel so difficult for people our age to talk openly about illness and struggle. Sydney shares how she balances treatment with full-time work, how she defines purpose when everything feels uncertain, and why phrases like “you don’t look sick” can feel deeply invalidating. This conversation isn’t just about cancer — it’s about identity, resilience, community, and choosing to keep living, even when nothing feels simple.
