About this episode

TW: infertility, pregnancy, loss

If you’re joining us today — it's National Infertility Awareness Week. For one in five people, building a family can be a challenging journey. In this episode of Financial Feminist, Tori tackles the deeply personal yet widely experienced topic of infertility, alongside Ali Prato, host of the top-ranked podcast "Infertile AF," co-founder of Fertility Rally and author of the children's book "Work of ART." 

Ali bravely shares her own experience with secondary infertility, IUIs, IVF, and the emotional, physical, and financial burdens it brought. Together they discuss not only the science and stats, but also the real impact infertility has on relationships, mental health, and (of course) wallets. Join us as Ali sheds light on a topic that deserves open discussion.
