Summary

Amy and Kat respond to a heartfelt message from a listener who’s re-entering the dating world after a stage 4 metastatic breast cancer diagnosis. She asks a vulnerable and powerful question: “At what point do I tell someone I have breast cancer?”

They offer encouragement to anyone navigating dating with a complicated backstory. Whether you're dealing with illness, grief, or another personal challenge, this conversation reminds us that we’re all worthy of love—and that vulnerability can be a bridge, not a burden.
