Building your family

Good Egg filmmaker finds purpose


Listen Later

Nicole Gomez Fisher is the writer, director and producer of the feature film “Sleeping with the Fishes” and “The Good Egg” which was inspired by her fertility journey and decision to use donor eggs to build her family.  Her films have been featured on HBO and are available on Amazon Prime Video. Nicole has also acted and worked on many other films and television shows, but her favorite role, by far, is mom.

In this week’s podcast you will hear about her many struggles and circuitous pathway to parenthood.  

Sharing her feelings on social media has been difficult for Nicole.  Sadly, she has received backlash in many online communities for discussing her inner conflicts.  I applaud Nicole for her openness. Many women with infertility experience the same feelings that Nicole has felt and feel fearful about sharing them publicly.

Listen to Nicole share her journey, how she finally built her family, and why she decided to turn her heartache into a full-length feature comedy.
