## Resource

This week on Infertile AF, Ali sits down with comedian, creator and storyteller Candice Guardino for a heartfelt and deeply honest conversation about infertility, IVF, pregnancy loss, endometriosis, and finding light through the hardest moments. Candace opens up about freezing her eggs, navigating fertility treatment while building her career, the emotional toll of trying to conceive, and how comedy became both a coping mechanism and a way to connect with others. They also talk about the pressure women feel around timelines, relationships, and motherhood, plus the importance of telling these stories out loud. Equal parts funny, vulnerable, and validating, this episode is for anyone who’s ever felt alone on the path to parenthood. Make sure to check out Candace's comedy special, Italian Bred , about growing up and her Italian upbringing.
