Living a fulfilled life is a radical act. It is even more radical when you choose to live it in an unconventional way. In her talk Vicki explores the history, stigma, trends, and social impacts of choosing to be childless.

Vicki explores the notion of radical fulfillment as living life on your own terms, free of outside expectations, guided by creative desire, and leaving a legacy that goes beyond biology.
