Topics around reproductive health and menstruation are still taboo in some cultures, which leaves women in the dark when it comes to their health. In today’s episode, Mikaela Ingram sheds some light on these issues and how her non-profit organization called Divine Drops helps women across the globe fight the stigma and have a more holistic approach when it comes to health.
After years of symptomatic periods and countless countries traveling for both volunteer and her travel nursing job, Mikaela declared that she had enough of watching AND experiencing this suffering that society calls "a period". She quit her nursing job, moved into a camper, and spent the next year gathering a team and crafting a plan that would address this problem at its core, for all menstruators.
