Family Planning, Fertility and Finding Balance
Family planning and fertility touch on some of the most personal and challenging decisions in life — especially for women in medicine, who face unique pressures and demands. Angie Pack, CSLP®, joins me, and we’re addressing these sensitive topics head-on. We share our own experiences with infertility, the difficult choices surrounding when to start a family, and the financial implications of treatments like IVF. We also discuss the support available through income-driven repayment plans for student loans, tax deductions for medical expenses, and the value of breaking the silence surrounding fertility and family planning.
