Life After Infertility: An Honest Update and the Beginning of Her Village
Episode 125
Thursday, 19 March, 2026
What happens when the season of life that shaped your story begins to change?In this episode, I’m sharing an honest update about the evolution of Your Fertility Village, how my own infertility journey has shifted now that our family is complete, and the new vision that has been growing on my heart: Her Village.When I first started the Motherhood Intended podcast, I was still in the thick of processing my infertility journey. I had experienced infertility, loss, IVF, the NICU, and eventually grew our family through surrogacy. During that season, supporting women navigating infertility felt like the most natural extension of my story.But life has changed over the past few years.Our family is now complete, and while infertility will always be part of my story and something I care deeply about, it’s no longer at the center of my everyday life in the same way. I realized that leading a community centered entirely around infertility wasn’t where my heart felt most aligned anymore.Instead, I began thinking about a different kind of community — one that supports women in the many seasons of life that come after infertility and early motherhood.That idea became Her Village.Her Village is about creating spaces where women can build real friendships and meaningful connection in the communities where they live. A village for women who may feel like they’re in-between seasons of life — raising young kids, rediscovering themselves after motherhood, navigating life after infertility, or simply craving deeper conversations and real connection again.I’m starting small here in Naperville with the first gathering called Her Village: Founders Night, and I’m excited to see where this vision grows from here.If you’re local to Naperville and the idea of building real friendships, and community resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you.Thank you for being here and for continuing to grow alongside me.However your journey to motherhood unfolds, I’m really glad you’re not walking it alone.xo, JacquelineSupport the show__________________________________________________________________________________If you enjoyed this episode, please consider sharing it with a friend or leaving a review.
