Today's guest is Danielle Melfi, the CEO of RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association. Danielle brings such a unique perspective because she's not only leading the nation's largest infertility advocacy organization—she's also been a fertility patient herself. In this episode, she opens up about her own egg-freezing journey and how that experience continues to shape the way she advocates for millions of people navigating family building today.

Ali and Danielle talk about what RESOLVE is working on right now, why fertility treatment is still financially out of reach for so many people, and the real work being done to expand insurance coverage and improve access across the country. They also get into what's happening in workplaces, why fertility benefits matter more than ever, and how employers can better support people going through treatment. Danielle shares practical ways every single one of us can become advocates—whether you're in treatment now, you're building your family another way, or you simply want to help make fertility care more accessible for the next generation. Danielle also reminds us throughout this episode is that you are never alone—and together, our voices really can create change.
