## Resource

TW: Infertility  In this week’s episode, Tay sits down with entrepreneur, blogger, podcaster, and educator Jaci Marie Smith! Jaci shares how she went from building her photography business to growing a platform online, the boundaries she’s learned to set with social media while it’s also her job, and how she decides what parts of her life to share and what she chooses to keep private. She opens up about becoming a mom and the boundary she’s set around sharing her daughter online, and why she ultimately decided to publicly document her IVF journey. Jaci walks us through her path from trying to conceive naturally, to IUI, to IVF, including the heartbreak of a failed transfer before finally experiencing a successful one. She also shares what it was like navigating infertility while her best friend and podcast co-host became pregnant easily during the same time, and the conversations that helped them support each other through it. Jaci offers advice for people who have a loved one struggling with fertility, reflects on the tools she uses to protect her mental health, and shares what she’s most proud of in herself today!
