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 Myers has a gentle and healing presence that comes through her podcast! She has brought the importance of compassion, inner wisdom and self-care to listeners in a way that is easily integrated. Thanks Dr. Myers!
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”.
Dr. Gayle brings amazing information to the forefront. Here show is amazing and is much needed for everyone in this world. Take a listen.
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
