One in six people worldwide experience infertility, according
to the World Health Organization.
As the holiday season focuses on the celebration of children
and families, infertility creates its own holiday horror story for
individuals and relationships who experience it.
We're excited to have Dr.
Niko Wilson, director of the Couples and Family Therapy program
at William James College, join us for a special episode of
Sexvangelicals.
Dr. Wilson's research focuses on the qualitative experience of
infertility; also, each of the three of us have been personally
impacted by infertility in some capacity. Join us for conversations
