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:
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’s voice is so soothing it instantly grounds me into my body. Thank goodness there is a beacon here that can help us slow down and go deep.
In a world that I find lacking in spiritual guidance unless you happen to belong to a church of some kind, I found solace and fulfillment listening to Dr. Myer’s Health Conscious Living Podcast. Her soothing voice lends itself extremely well to this type of medium, never rushing her gentle words of wisdom. I listened to her podcast again this morning while drinking coffee and watching the Spring birds returning to Vermont after the long winter. It was so nice to be reminded that we are all just “spiritual beings having a human experience”.
Well worth it. Dr. Gayle Myers offers practical and inspiring insights for our individual healing journeys. A rare podcast where I listen to episodes again. So start or swing back to the beginning as content builds week to week. She has a welcome interview style as she lets her guests speak and her voice is soothing, gentle yet firm. You can heal and be patient!
I am grateful for Dr Gayle Meyers and her holistic approach. She helped me find comfort and balance after experiencing two years of chronic pain and discomfort that traditional medicine could not help me overcome.The podcast series provides real life examples of challenges that all humans encounter. Hugely informative for the healing journey.Thank you Gayle.
