Rise, Heal, and Grow with Leah M. Hill

In this heartfelt episode of Rise, Heal, and Grow, host Leah M. Hill sits down with Christine Anastos, founder of Connect & Thrive, Public Benefit Corporation, to explore how her own breast cancer journey transformed into a mission of hope and healing for others. Christine shares how personal trauma, years as a caregiver, and a deep concern for the environment inspired her to create Connect & Thrive—a heart-centered platform that empowers cancer patients, previvors, thrivers, and caregivers through community connection, wellness resources, and innovative crowdfunding known as KittyFunds. Together, Leah and Christine dive into the power of self-care, the importance of environmental awareness in healing, and how collective generosity can help women not only survive, but truly connect and thrive.
