info_outlineIn this empowering episode of Worthy, Jess sits down with Staci Swiderski, founder and CEO of Family Source Consultants, a nationally recognized surrogacy and egg donation agency that has helped bring more than 1,500 babies into the world over the past 19 years.
Staci shares her deeply personal journey—from deciding as a child that she could rely only on herself, to building a purpose-driven business rooted in compassion, resilience, and hope. After facing her own limitations while trying to conceive her fourth child, Staci turned to surrogacy—an experience that sparked her calling to help other families navigate infertility without shame or self-doubt.
This conversation explores the emotional toll of infertility, the importance of mental and emotional support during the surrogacy process, and why needing help does not make someone unworthy. Staci emphasizes how comparison among women can be painful—and why true empowerment comes from holding one another up and being inspired by each other’s success.
Staci also speaks candidly about her own self-doubt, how she learned to use it as fuel rather than a limitation, and why her favorite mantra—“Never give up”—has guided her through entrepreneurship, motherhood, and leadership. She shares the vision behind her She Decides Podcast and She Decides jewelry collection, both created to help women reclaim their voice, confidence, and sense of worth.
This episode is a reminder that asking for help is not weakness, that hope is powerful, and that you are worthy—exactly as you are.
