What if your period could cost you your education?

When I sat down with Christine Denning, I wasn’t expecting to be so fired up about menstrual cups — but her story blew me away. Christine is the founder of an NGO tackling period poverty across Africa, and she's on a mission to replace shame and disposables with dignity and 10-year solutions.

We talk about how she went from growing up in a cold house in upstate New York to working with African leaders, fighting for girls’ access to education, and shaking up outdated laws. She also shares the one product that could change everything — and why hardly anyone’s talking about it!

(01:41) Can We Fix Poverty Without Playing Saviour?
(04:33) The Teacher Who Taught Kids to Read. With Mud.
(08:16) Why Do Girls Vanish After Primary School?
(10:08) The 88-Year-Old Secret to Ending Period Poverty
(15:57) Who’s Keeping Menstrual Cups Out of the Conversation?
(17:07) Is There Money in Keeping Girls Dependent?

Christine Garde Denning

Christine Garde Denning is the founder and CEO of CouldYou?, a nonprofit on a mission to end period poverty globally by 2040. With over 30 years of leadership experience across the U.S. and Africa, she created the CouldYou? Cup—an FDA-registered menstrual cup providing a sustainable 10-year solution for women and girls worldwide.

Under Christine’s leadership, CouldYou? has distributed nearly 200,000 cups across 15 countries, helping girls stay in school and reducing unsafe practices linked to lack of menstrual products. Her community-driven approach has earned international recognition, including a 2024 Earth Shot Prize nomination and formal endorsements from African governments.

As we are approaching the end of 2021, I wanted to record this episode saying something important to you, something wise, something that will change your life… I reflected on what to say, I meditated on it, I journaled… and then I realized that so many beautiful, powerful, wise, lifechanging things have already been said before me, have been already written… and all what I have to do is to find them and to read them to you. So, I did some research and selected this poem by Sanne Burger that resonates greatly with my heart. Today I will read it to you. All what you have to do is relax, close your eyes and simply allow your soul to speak to you through these words… 

I can’t stay, mother
I love you, but I wasn’t born to please you
I wasn’t born to make you happy
or give your life meaning
I wasn’t born to rot under your wings
like an unhatched egg

I can’t stay, teacher
I wasn’t born to be put into your boxes
to think along your lines
or to memorize your facts
I was born to think independently

I can’t stay, my love
I wasn’t born to satisfy your needs
to take care of you
or to hide in your arms
I wasn’t born to make myself smaller
or to be taken for granted

I can’t stay, boss
I wasn’t born to make money for others
I wasn’t born to follow orders
or to repeat the same day over and over again
I wasn’t born for boredom

I can’t stay, master
I wasn’t born to follow your ideas of what truth is
or to live according to your dogmas
I was born to find my own truth
and make my own rules

I was born to meet life full on
To get lost on Andean trails
To be seduced by mysterious men
To meet different faces, places and cultures
to be out in the jungle all night
To run with wolves
To be swept off my feet
To be taken by storm
To be heartbroken
Devastated
Stunned
Shocked
Lost
Thrown into the deep

I was born to get my hands dirty
To get sand in my mouth
Mud on my clothes
Thorns under my feet
I was born to jump into the abyss

I was born to meet aliens
To do rituals
To be cracked open in ceremony
To go beyond time and space
To welcome magic
To totally lose myself

I was born to feel everything
To taste everything
The bitter taste of sorrow
The foul taste of deceit
The sweet taste of love

I was born to learn how to handle change gracefully
I was born to know the truth
to learn how to fly

I was born to learn how to speak the language of love
How to unchain my heart
How to shed everything
How to let go of all expectations
I was born to learn how it feels to lose everything
except what really matters
I was born to live a life that would strip away everything that wasn’t real
that wasn’t true
that wasn’t me

I am a phoenix
I am born to spread my wings and fly towards the sun
To burn up and turn to ashes
To fall down to earth and rise up again

When I am old
I will be proud of my scars
My wrinkles
My memories
My stories
My wisdom
My freedom

I was born to be free
And therefore, I can’t stay

Currently I am on a journey that I call #yanayear or in other words “a sabbatical”. Basically, I gave most of my belongs and money away to people who needed it, had an honest conversation with my husband and leaped into the unknown with no plans, no structure and no expectations in the midst of the pandemic… If you want to learn more about my journey (and why I did it) and follow my adventures, let’s connect on

Today our guest is Karma Lhatrul Dorji Rinpoche - a reincarnated Tibetan Lama from Bhutan. This is a second time Karma Rinpoche is coming on the Timeless Teachings Podcast to share his wisdom and teachings. If you haven’t watched the first interview yet, go to the episode number 3 and you will learn about the life of a yogi in a modern world, where Rinpoche shares honestly and openly his life story and a day to day living of a spiritual practitioner in a modern world. Today we also have one more person joining us for the interview – Natalia Karikh, who is one of Rinpoche’s students and one of the community leaders for Russian speaking spiritual seekers. She has her own school and specialises in integrative psychology and yoga. Natalia will be mainly the one asking questions during the episode, because I believe in giving an opportunity to other people to be in the space of timeless teachings with our teachers, gurus, sages and influencers. Make yourself comfortable and let’s begin…

In this episode Haridass talks about her own journey into the world of Kundalini yoga, teaches us the Breath of Fire - explains its benefits, when and how to do it. 

She touches upon the inner wisdom, how to access it and shares how she draws deep inspiration from Yogi Bhajan teachings. We also discuss the differences between the “guru vs. non-guru path”, when it comes to choosing the direction of a spiritual journey. 

My favourite part of the interview is her answer to my question: “If I were to ask you to give an advice to a 7-year old, what would you say?” She responded… brilliantly! Listen for yourself.

Today our guest is Tahira Amir Sultan Khan, who is an Author, Speaker, Technologist and Spiritual Futurist. 

A natural born leader and creative Visionary, Tahira was appointed to be the first female President of Mobile Alliance Singapore, an initiative supported by the International Enterprise Singapore (2014). She was given the task of making Singapore the leading hub for mobile innovation in all of Asia. 

After 20 years in technology as an Advisor and Consultant to international governments, she took on a huge risk when she made the big switch to becoming a full-time author.  

Nine months of near-isolation - researching, writing, reflecting, meditating and fasting, she received countless divine revelations and prophetic visions, which included the vision of the "Golden Door". She was guided instinctively to persevere, despite the financial losses and the loneliness that she had to endure.

And through that journey, she transformed to become a Renaissance woman, who was able to masterfully interleave spirituality, philosophy, geometry, quantum physics, symbolism, biology, ancient wisdom, poetry, literature and art.

Tahira's "Golden Door" is justice through the values of truth and integrity. Her "Be-ing" is to radiate it out through her words and actions of love. 

In 2019, she founded the pioneering Golden Door - Truth & Integrity of the Written Word. Inaugurated on the 5th Sep 2020, GOLDEN DOOR was featured in the New York Chronicle, Asia One and Market Insider as the World’s First. It is a movement and platform that recognises and raises truth-writers to become truth-creators for the manifestation of the heavenly blueprint for the New World. 

Singapore's former Ambassador-at-large to the United Nations, Prof Tommy Koh called her a visionary, She was nominated for the Tallberg Snf-Eliasson Leadership Prize by prominent former Singapore Government Leaders (2021). Other awards: The ASEAN Lady of Excellence (2017), Asia Pacific Golden Brand Award (2018).

Have you ever had a gap year in your life? Or in other words - a leap year or a sabbatical? That time with yourself when you are having an honest look at all aspects of your life, asking yourself soulful questions about what makes your heart smile, because of deepest joy, fulfilment, and aliveness. This is exactly what I am experiencing right now. I have started this journey 2.5 months ago and what an adventure it has already been! Today I am being interviewed by Annie Kallis about all the highs and lows of what it means to take a leap year during the pandemic, real life stories that have happened, things that I have already learned, and, since many people have asked, how do I manage to do all of that, while being married and with my husband currently staying on the other side of the planet. Annie is a relationship coach and so yes, we did talk a lot about what it means to be in a conscious relationship, especially during such uncertain times! My name is Yana Fry and I am your guide into the world of mysticism, spirituality and consciousness. I talk with real people about practical aspects of spirituality and its application in a real life.

Hi. My name is Yana and you are listening to Timeless Teachings podcast. Tantric path is probably the most controversial path, when it comes to a spiritual journey.

Have you ever attracted events and people that are just what you need, and seem to come out of the blue? Luck? Chance? Coincidence? But what if they were more than that? What if they were examples of Synchronicity?

• Coincidence: luck or something deeper?

What is the difference between feminine and masculine journey into spirituality and self-realisation? Is there a difference at all? Are you here to transcend or to dissolve… or maybe both?  

Our guest today will help us to understand the essence of the feminine way, what are the main female archetypes and how they can help us to understand better our true nature, how “feminine” and “masculine” become non-gender focused, and why the world is in such an urgent need of “psycho-spiritual guides”.  

Since the mid-1980s, Jutka Freiman has guided women on the journey from self to soul. A psychotherapist and group facilitator with degrees in psychology and anthropology, she is also an expert in the fields of archetypal psychology, psychodrama, Gestalt, somatic psychology, art therapy and the Enneagram.

Sometimes there are days when everything goes NOT the way you have planned - people don’t do what you want them to do, things don’t come together the way you expect them to come together, and you yourself are not at your best on such day… Especially during these kinds of days it is very important to come back home to yourself and restore your equilibrium. Regardless of what is happening around you, you can always tap into your Inner Peace. This is exactly what we are doing with this meditation.

We hear a lot about what it means to be a “working mom”… and what about a “working dad”? His perspective? His struggles? His wins? His attempt to create work/life balance, while raising kids and providing for them at the same time? 

This episode I sit down with Alex Shafran to hear his perspective on how he has been raising 2 children with his wife Lana - and bring “an equal, hand-on, engaged parent… and a professional executive at work!” Now with two grown sons and a thriving career, Alex brings a refreshing perspective on parenting beyond traditional roles. 

In this conversation we challenge the status quo, gender roles, why the world has so much sympathy for “working moms”, and why the voices of “working dads” need to be included into the conversation too! 

IN THIS EPISODE

(00:00) Discover the secrets of thriving as a working dad.
(03:30) How to excel at work and home without compromise.
(06:30) Confronting the hidden struggles every father faces.
(10:00) A New Kind of Dad: Reimagining fatherhood for the modern world.
(13:00) Why breaking the rules makes you a better dad.
(16:00) Strategies for fathers seeking balance and fulfillment.
(19:00) What no one tells you about being a dad.
(21:00) Practical Tips: How to use your strengths for a more rewarding parenting journey.

Have you ever had a conversation with a Tibetan Lama? A really deep and an honest conversation? This is exactly what we are going to do today. Our guest is Karma Lhatrul Dorji Rinpoche – a reincarnated Tibetan Master from Bhutan. 

Karma Rinpoche began his path of spiritual enlightenment at the age of 3. As a toddler he recalled his past life as a Tibetan Teacher and his parents brought him to the monastery in North-East India to meet his master - H.H. Terton Kunzang Dechen Lingpa Rinpoche. Lama Terton immediately recognized Karma Rinpoche as a reincarnation and adopted him as his heart son, taught him for many years the essence of Tibetan Teachings and eventually transmitted the teachings of his lineage. 

Karma Rinpoche is not your regular lama. He is rather direct, very modern and some could say rather controversial. While being a very solid and dedicated practitioner of Dharma, he is also an established and well known filmmaker, who won many prizes in Bhutan Film Festival for his movies “Tshorwa”, “The Row” and “The Wind of Karma”, and already considered to be one of the best film directors in the Bhutanese film industry. 

Karma Rinpoche is joining us today to enlighten us about spirituality, to demystify what people call “tantra” and to explain what it means to practice nonduality in our modern life.

Russian by birth, Indian by marriage, Global by naturalization. A life story so fascinating that it can be a plot for the book or a movie. 

Being born into a mystical family,  growing up with gangsters and prostitutes, fleeing Russia at the age of 21 with 100 US dollars in my pocket, traveling all over the world, being trapped in a very difficult and dramatic first marriage, failing over and over and over again in businesses and all other things that people usually do in Samsara, at some point I decided to climb Mt Kilimanjaro in Africa, drive a motorbike across Himalayan mountains in India, visit shamans in Peru, knock on the doors of Tibetan monasteries in Bhutan… all in search for answers. 

Only to realize that everything I have been searching for has always been within me from the very beginning when I came into this world.  Once this realization has fully settled in my mind, I felt it is time to share it with people around me. 

This is how Timeless Teachings podcast was born – out of deep love for humanity. We are so much more than what we think we are! In this episode I am being interviewed by Aarti Sharma about the depth of my soul, why are we here and what it means to live a truly fulfilling life!

What do we know about death, if anything at all? And if we do not fully understand or even accept death, how can we possibly understand and accept life? 

Today’s guest has a direct experience with this subject, because, truth be told, she is dying. Eugenia has been diagnosed with a critical illness and doctors say that she might have just a few months left to live.

Yes, I know, in our current society people do not talk about death that openly, yet this is exactly why Eugenia Gajardo is here with us today – she wants to inspire a conversation about death just the way we talk about life.

Welcome to the Timeless Teachings podcast. My name is Yana and I am your guide into the world of spirituality, mysticism and consciousness.

I will give you time-tested and highly effective tools to realize your highest potential and discover love, happiness, fulfillment, joy and abundance in daily life. We will illuminate all major aspects of a human evolution: mind, body, soul, relationship, parenting, business, health, death, sexuality, yoga, tantra, marriage, education, healing, awakening and enlightenment.

Each episode we dive into deep and often controversial subjects. This space is for people who are brave and who are ready. The guests are encouraged to speak their minds and hearts freely and share their most authentic life experiences, teachings and realizations.

Spirituality is not about the religion, it is about a conscious daily living, where as a human being you are functioning at your highest physical, emotional, mental and energetical potential. Mysticism is the foundation of life itself, all the teachings that are sacred, true and often hard to find. All believers and non-believers are welcome to join us on this path of Awakening into our True Nature.    

I am doing it, because I have been on the journey of spiritual and personal development for more than 30 years, and I feel that now is the time for all of us to come together and illuminate the truth. Make yourself comfortable and get ready for a deep dive into Mind, Body and Soul. Let’s create a world that celebrates wisdom, compassion, equality, and love!
