Featured on Surviving Breast Cancer’s Breast Cancer Conversations podcast, Christine Anastos and Christine Handy join host Laura Carfang for the episode “Breastless & Fearless: Two Breast Cancer Survivors Rewriting Film, FemTech, and Survivorship.” The conversation explores how both women transformed personal adversity into purpose following their breast cancer journeys. Christine Anastos shares her experience with DCIS, the hidden financial burdens of cancer care, and the inspiration behind creating Connect & Thrive (CAT) to help women access trusted healing resources and support.
The episode also highlights themes of identity, healing, faith, resilience, advocacy, and the power of collaboration among survivors. Through Connect & Thrive, Christine Anastos continues advancing whole-person wellness through curated resources, integrative therapies, and KittyFunds™ crowdfunding campaigns that help women afford services often not covered by insurance. Their conversation offers hope, practical insight, and encouragement for women navigating diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and survivorship.
