National Infertility Awareness Week: RESOLVE, Queer & Solo Parents, and How Your Story Changes Policy
Episode 174
Sunday, 19 April, 2026
National Infertility Awareness Week is about more than awareness posts. It is about whose stories get heard, who gets left out, and how we turn lived experience into better policy for everyone building their family. In this episode, I’m joined by Danielle, the new CEO of RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association. We talk about what RESOLVE is really doing behind the scenes, how they’re supporting single parents by choice and queer families, and why telling your story is one of the most powerful forms of advocacy you have. We also get practical: how to advocate for yourself at work, how to approach HR about fertility benefits, and how to find common ground in a divided moment so we can actually move legislation forward. We cover: What RESOLVE does for patients beyond social media during NIAW How current policies help some groups and still miss singles and LGBTQ+ families Concrete RESOLVE resources for talking to HR about fertility coverage Advocating for yourself at work without risking everything Using your story to build empathy, shift culture, and influence lawmakers Finding common ground across differences as a path to better legislation If you’re a single parent by choice, part of a queer couple, or anyone navigating reproductive medicine who has ever felt invisible, this conversation is for you.
