What do you do when something so heartbreaking happens that it takes you years to process exactly what you went through? If you’re NYT author J.T. Ellison, you put it in a thriller novel. This week, Emily joins J.T. (who’s one of Emily’s favorite authors!) for a conversation around a topic that links them both: infertility. J.T. vulnerably shares about her own miscarriages, about transmitting pain into your work, why marriages has room for secrets but not lies, about the joys and pitfalls of living in Nashville, and just how she wove a plotline about her infertility experience into a brand-new thriller novel called It’s One of Us.   Thanks to our episode sponsors VEGAMOUR | Get 20% off your first order at https://vegamour.com/simplified  TAWKIFY | Get 20% off when you become a client at https://tawkify.com/simplified    * * * GET Audio Episodes Ad Free + Early Access to New Episodes https://apple.co/3ICMUmk READ the Show Notes https://emilyley.com/podcast    SHOP Simplified Planners & Products! https://emilyley.com    GET Emily’s New Book! https://emilyleybooks.com/sure-as-the-sunrise    * * * SUBSCRIBE to The Simplified Podcast!
