  • A fertility story about love and resillence
    Jul 7 2024

    The name Candace Wohl may not be widely recognized, but in the world of infertility advocacy, she is a superstar. Candace's journey to building her family was fraught with challenges. Her experiences could easily be mistaken for a plot from a television drama, but her story is all too real. Despite the hardships, she remained steadfast in her determination to create the family she and her husband had always dreamed of. Along the way, Candace learned invaluable lessons about resilience, communication in marriage, navigating conflicting emotions, and being a devoted mother even when life felt overwhelming.

    Candace shares her insights on fertility treatment, surrogacy, adoption, and her role as a fertility advocate, helping others navigate their often turbulent paths to parenthood.

    This is a beautiful story, and one not to be missed.

  • What you need to know about lesbian family building
    Jun 30 2024

    Family building for lesbian couples using donor sperm has increased in recent years. However, many couples still struggle with the basic "how-tos." If you've been following me for a while, you know that I love to ease stress, provide factual information, and help people think ahead about their options so they can realize their dreams. Lesbian family building is one of those subjects that needs addressing.

    In this episode, I break down the basics of what to consider, from starting the process of trying at home with an insemination kit to using IUI or InVoCell and moving to IVF. I also cover issues to consider regardless of which treatment you choose.

    There is a lot to think about. If you are part of a lesbian couple or know someone who could use this information, I hope it serves you well.

  • Wisdom from the Sharon Moms
    Jun 23 2024

    When you meet Brit and Sydney, I am sure you will love them as much as I do. This episode was such a pleasure to record.

    They are grounded, insightful, altruistic, and funny. In this episode, they will break down issues such as::

    • Tips for fertility treatment as lesbian moms-to-be
    • How to collaborate on tough issues and recognize each person's strengths in the relationship
    • Stressors faced by people who feel scared to have donor-conceived children
    • How to be positive and grounded, especially when it is easier not to be

    They also talked about coming out, how their relationship has evolved, and their children. I feel like I could have talked to them for hours. I’m sure you will feel the same when you hear this episode!
