Episode 84: UpRooted - Jill Wolfe and Naomi Less
Jill Wolfe and her husband struggled with unexplained infertility for 4.5 years before having their first child, Eliana, via a gestational surrogate. There were many years of sadness, failed IVFs, and finally elation with the joy of finally becoming a parent. A couple years later their daughter Mia was born via their same surrogate. Jill lives in Minneapolis with her husband, two angels and dog Jojo. Jill has a Master’s in Education and was a bilingual Spanish teacher before having children. Since having children, she has been working in medical sales and is currently working in Biotechnology at Shire specializing in rare disease.
