Ep 26: Author Jared Walker on writing about grief and infertility

In this episode of FriedEggs, we sit down with Jared Walker, author of The Empty Nest—hands down one of the best books on infertility and grief. Jared gets real about the male infertility experience (because yes, guys feel all the feels too) and the messy, complicated emotions that both partners face but don’t often talk about. We dive into how he and his wife turned years of infertility struggle into an illustrated book that’s as honest as it is heart-wrenching.

Jared also spills the tea on self-publishing, the unexpected flood of support from the TikTok infertility community, and how writing can be a powerful way to cope, connect, and maybe even heal a little.

If you’re tired of the usual infertility stories and want something raw, relatable, and honest, this one’s for you.
