Season 3 | Episode 4: From Patient to Pioneer: Julia Anthony Always Goes Big

Born with salt-wasting CAH before newborn screening existed, Julia Anthony spent much of her childhood, high school and even college days in hospitals dealing with adrenal crises; which did not stop her from playing sports or having plenty of fun. However, in hindsight, it did change her in a most positive way. In this inspiring and animated conversation, Dina and Stephanie uncover how Julia’s experiences have shaped her into a humble CAH patient, fierce advocate and ambitious entrepreneur.

Julia opens up about the lessons she has learned, what has driven her to start her own company and why community, self-advocacy, and resilience matter so much. Honest, playful and emotional, this episode gives us a powerful reminder that it’s possible to turn challenges into purpose.
