Her mission includes encouraging others to acknowledge their struggles and to address the mental exhaustion that can come from hiding one’s feelings. Taank’s insights highlight the need for community and support during difficult times.
Honestly, I wish I'd known just how much having a community matters. When I first started IVF, I kept a lot of it to myself and ended up feeling really isolated. I didn't realize how comforting and helpful it would be to talk to people who actually understand what you're going through.
If I'd known about resources like Fertility Out Loud back then - with their one-on-one coaching, specialist finder, and articles that cover both the medical side and the emotional rollercoaster - I think the whole process would've felt a lot less overwhelming.
Jessel Taank's work includes helping other women understand it's OK to not be OK while navigating infertility and the mental exhaustion that often accompanies the journey.
She's doing her best to ensure that others do not have to mask what they're going through during fertility challenges and to advocate for mental well-being.
