Featured by Candy O’Terry on The Story Behind Her Success, Christine Anastos shares the personal journey that led to the creation of Connect & Thrive (CAT). The interview highlights how Christine Anastos trusted her instincts when health concerns were repeatedly dismissed, later receiving a breast cancer diagnosis that changed the direction of her life. After a successful career as an environmental engineer, she transformed adversity into purpose by launching Connect & Thrive to help cancer previvors, patients, thrivers, and caregivers access trusted healing resources and support.
