Episode 47: Brewing for a Fertility Benefit

Written by ShannonZuber | Aug 12, 2019, 4:00:00 AM

Fertility treatments are expensive, and they’re usually not covered by insurance. So, what do you do when you need IVF, but you can’t afford the associated bills?  

Over the course of her 10-year fertility journey, Brandi Kline found herself asking that question time and again. She had a good fulltime job, but no coverage for fertility treatments. Where did she turn when she was running out of hope? Starbucks.  

Brandi shares with us her story of resilience and resourcefulness, how she got her fertility treatments covered by working part-time at Starbucks, and how after a complicated and draining experience, she is now a mother to a beautiful baby.  

Guest: Brandi Kline  

Host: Julie Stadlbauer, Senior Vice President of Business Development at Progyny
