S2 Ep8 - All Things Fertility Candace Wohl
Candace Wohl
As you know, I am very interested in all things fertility as I have been on this long journey to beginning a family. Today on " the balanced girl," I had the pleasure of speaking with Candace Wohl. Candace is a wife, digital creator, infertility advocate, mother through surrogacy, and co-author of the incredible blog, "Our Misconception." Candace is featured in many articles including, the Huffington Post, Still Standing Magazine, fertilityauthority.com, adoption.net., Cosmopolitan Magazine, Women's Health Magazine, O Magazine, among others. Candace and her husband Chris decided that in order to overcome adversity, they must stare it directly in the face with humor and raw honesty through writing, thus creating their award-winning blog, "Our Misconception." The couple was featured on MTV's "True Life: I'm Desperate to Have a Baby," a documentary about couples who struggle with infertility, and MTV's "Check-Ups and Check-Ins." Candace is also a fierce advocate, pushing for family-building legislation and infertility awareness, and is an active volunteer for RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association.
