Nicole Ricken

TEDx Speaker, bereavement researcher and scientific orator, childhood cancer activist, recording artist, and composer for an Emmy award-winning film. Having spent several elective years of my adolescence and adulthood alongside dying children, as a musician and activist, my speaking is founded upon lessons informed by death. My current multi-medium approach as a speaker is to encourage wholehearted living by drawing upon clinical research, philosophizing the meaning of life, and inspiring audiences with melodic messages about the beautiful mysteries that are life and death.
