Episode 48- My Conversation with Cherie Hoeger About Women Having It All.

Author: Goddess Asha Mariama September 2, 2026 Duration: 43:11
In this episode, I had a great conversation with Cherie Hoeger about having it all when it comes to being a wife, having children, and a successful business. Many women are told that they can't have it all and have to lower themselves due to some men being insecure about them making more money than their husbands. She created period underwear and period cups. She tells her story about being married and having six children, and how one day she decided to become the Co-founder and CEO of the company Saalt, helping women from her and her husband's countries who don't have feminine products to have those products. She talks about how her husband has become her biggest supporter and co-founder of the company. And how they work together as a team to build a business and raise their children. What she instills in her daughters when it comes to following their dreams and goals. Why should women build something of their own despite being married? We also spoke on why misinformation, not preference, keeps women from switching to reusable period care. How social impact works as a behavioral signal, not just a marketing story? Work-life integration as a mother of six running a mission-driven brand. A little about Cherie Hoeger: she is a women-owned B Corp building reusable period care products with a 1% social give-back mission to end period poverty. Since 2018, we've donated over 160,000 period products across 56 countries and funded more than 1.3 million days of school for girls. If you want to reach her, you can reach her at https://saalt.com/, and cherie.hoeger@saalt.com. I really hope you guys enjoy the conversations.

Hosted by Goddess Asha Mariama, African Melanin Queens is a space dedicated to the affirmation and holistic elevation of Black women. This podcast directly confronts the damaging narratives that suggest independent women, single mothers, or those deemed average or unattractive by societal standards are not worthy of high-value partnerships or self-love. Each episode serves as a counter-narrative, weaving together discussions on culture, mental fortitude, and physical well-being to reinforce a core truth: you are inherently enough. The conversation extends beyond mere encouragement, delving into practical education and self-improvement strategies that honor the full spectrum of the Black female experience. Listeners will find a blend of personal reflection, cultural analysis, and actionable advice on health and fitness, all framed within a context of societal awareness. It’s a gathering for those seeking to reclaim their narrative and find strength in community. Tune in for honest dialogue that celebrates beauty in all its forms-flaws, imperfections, and past mistakes included-while building a foundation for unshakable confidence and continued growth. This is where the journey back to self, in all its powerful and multifaceted glory, truly begins.
