The Moth GrandSLAM Winner: Julia Lechner's "Should Have Known" Story

Julia Lechner wins The Moth GrandSLAM storytelling championship with a story about her fertility journey and a humorous intimate encounter. Due to the sensitive subject matter around infertility, this story may not be for all audiences.
