Angela Rastegar knows firsthand just how overwhelming — and expensive — the family-building journey can be. Before co-founding Sunfish, she spent years working in healthcare and tech while navigating her own fertility journey, including egg freezing and later, embryo creation. Now, she’s turned that experience into her life’s work. Through Sunfish, Angela is helping make fertility and family-building care more accessible with emotional support plus real financial savings — we’re talking $8,000 to $18,000 per cycle. And the best part? Sunfish is built for anyone on any path to parenthood.In this episode, Angela opens up to Ali about the emotional rollercoaster of fertility treatment, the realities of trying to preserve options for your future self, and why she’s so passionate about changing this space for others.Disclaimer: Sunfish provides personalized financial plans using proprietary software to estimate costs for each Program.
