We Can All Make A Difference with Celeste Mergens

It can be hard to imagine a world where young girls are isolated and forced to sit on cardboard throughout their menstrual cycles because of ancient taboos and a lack of hygiene necessities, but this is exactly what Celeste Mergens stumbled across on a sustainability trip to Kenya. Fast forward a few years later, Celeste has reached 2.8 million women in 145 countries, providing menstrual kits and policy-changing education through her non-profit Days for Girls.

Listen in to learn more about Celeste’s global community of equity change makers, the power of we, and how healing her own poverty story helped her create a movement changing the culture of being female around the world.

KEY POINTS:

  • Celeste’s healing journey and epiphany
  • “We are not our circumstances.”
  • The birth of the Days for Girls non-profit
  • Inviting others to shatter the shame around menstruation
  • What to expect from The Power of Days book
  • The history of menstruation around the world
  • How the Days for Girls movement is changing the culture of being female
  • Minding the gap and reframing experiences with the wisdom of now

QUOTABLES:

“We are not our circumstances. Understanding that we are not the things we go through but the strength that comes from the journey.” - Dr. Gayle Myers

“It’s not just about menstrual equity. It is really a metaphor, in addition to a truth, that we can make a difference by being who we are authentically. And that we really can come together over enormous divides and create tremendous impact with the smallest of things.” - Dr. Gayle Myers

Dr. Gayle has been an inspiration to me for many years as her student of meditation and as my physician.

I learned years after being her student that Dr. Gayle was in excruciating pain from an NDE while in an automobile accident just prior to my first class and through the years following.

I now have chronic pain due to Lyme Disease and am blessed to have a role model as Dr. Gayle. She is an inspiration to me and her commitment to inspire others on their healing journey is dear to her heart. Lori R. Keene, NH

My first class that I attended that Dr. Gayle taught was life changing for me
