I Choose Happy With Marilyn

At 19 years old, Katie Mahon had a chilling encounter in San Francisco with a man she would only later realize was the notorious serial killer, Ted Bundy. What happened that day — and the stranger who appeared at just the right moment — would stay with her for the rest of her life.

But this conversation is about more than survival.

In this powerful episode, Katie shares how that experience shaped her understanding of intuition, fear, and the mysteries we can’t always explain — and how life continued to bring wave after wave in the years that followed. From devastating grief and anxiety to motherhood, perspective, and her daughter’s current health battle, Katie reflects on what it means to keep overcoming… not just once, but again and again.
This is a moving conversation about miracles, presence, and learning to find beauty, gratitude, and meaning even in life’s hardest seasons.

Katie is the co-author of The Miracle Chase and The Miracle Collectors, books that explore the extraordinary, unexplainable moments that shape our lives. Available wherever books are sold.
