In episode 92, we welcome Jessie Jaskulsky, the inspiring founder of Surrogacy Simplified, who shares her personal journey through these challenges and how it led her to be a strong advocate for 3rd party reproduction. She also shares how you can be an advocate as well!

After a devastating 22-week pregnancy loss that led to secondary infertility, Jessie spent years trying to complete her family and ultimately had both of her daughters through surrogacy. Through Jessie's journey to becoming a mom, she felt as if there was an obstacle at every turn. Because of this journey, Jessie founded Surrogacy Simplified, a boutique surrogacy consulting and white glove concierge, that helps Intended Parents start or complete their family through the selfless gift of surrogacy. Jessie takes care of all the details, big and small, allowing her clients to truly enjoy this beautiful pathway to parenthood.
