I can’t express how much your TEDx Mile High talk meant to me. I am a woman who, too, never wanted children.

I had debilitating endometriosis and was willing in my late 20s to have everything taken out to stop cycling. After many years, I lucked out and found a doctor that agreed that women should not have to suffer… This allowed me to excel at my career and have a life uninterrupted by pain more days than not.

I had taken to telling people I couldn’t have children because I got so sick of people telling me I would change my mind.

Your talk brought me to tears. I know now I am not alone and I will fight for any woman to make the same choice I did without shame or judgement.”
