Thanks for the talk! This is obviously an emotionally charged journey to discuss, even after finally getting it handled. I have a few friends who’ve told me similar stories; the lucky ones who finally found a provider with the basic decency of respecting their bodily autonomy. I know several others who’ve yet to break through.

You’re contributing a great deal of value by sharing this story and building awareness.”

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.”
