How can you build the family you desire and still maintain a successful career? Where can you get the support you deserve on your family-building journey?
Jessica Bell van der Wal and her husband faced an uphill battle on their journey to growing their family. As they navigated limited options and hurdles, they discovered that there was so much about the process they didn't know. There's the issues of fertility, ovulation, and even career that's rarely taught or discussed. They started with hundreds of conversations with healthcare providers, researchers, and others that had been through the same. Jessica and her husband then founded Frame Fertility to empower people to maximize their options.
In this episode of Reclaim Your Career, Jess Galica is joined by Jessica Bell van der Wal, Co-founder and CEO of Frame Fertility, to discuss her family-building journey running her company. Jessica shares her journey in founding Frame, its approach of helping couples build the family they want, balancing a family and a career, and working with a spouse as a new mom.
