Candid Hearts: Conversations and CHD
Candid Hearts: Conversations and CHD is a podcast hosted by Amy Erhart and Meagan Houpt, both born with a congenital heart defect known as Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS).
Through candid conversations, we share our personal journeys and amplify the voices of others living with congenital heart disease—patients, caregivers, spouses, and advocates alike. Each episode is rooted in honesty, education, and connection, exploring both the challenges and the triumphs of life with CHD.
Our mission is to raise awareness, provide education, and offer hope for the future of the CHD community. Whether you are living with CHD, loving someone who is, or simply looking to learn more, this space is for you.
We invite you to join us as we open our hearts and share real stories that matter.
Welcome to Candid Hearts: Conversations and CHD.
