1 in 6 people experience infertility, but access to IVF and fertility care still depends on where you live, your job, and your insurance.
As we recognize National Infertility Awareness Week, this conversation matters more than ever.
In this episode, we break down why infertility is becoming a national conversation, and what most people don't see behind the scenes.
I'm joined by Alise Powell from RESOLVE: The National Infertility & Family Building Association, where she works in fertility advocacy, policy, and expanding access to care.
In this episode:
Why IVF access depends on your state and employer What's changing in fertility coverage and legislation The real cost of infertility (financial + emotional) How advocacy and storytelling are shaping the future of family building
