Having options about fertility changes how you make important life decisions. Most women don't know how many options they have.
When a rare diagnosis threatened Lauren Makler’s ability to have children, frozen eggs gave her the peace of mind and freedom she needed. That experience led her to build Cofertility, where women can freeze their eggs for free when they donate eggs to intended parents.
In this episode of Superwomen, I sat down with Lauren to discuss the importance of fertility education, the need for more transparency in women’s healthcare, and what it takes to build a company for both purpose and profit.
