Marie Celestin

Marie Celestin, EdD is a connector, speaker, and practitioner who lives by one simple truth: people first. As the daughter of Caribbean immigrant parents, her creative spirit started early, finding a sense of belonging and freedom in her first love—poetry. 

As the founder of Talk with Marie, she created a community-building platform and a talk-show-style podcast that inspires many to transform. A fierce advocate for holistic well-being, she is the author of Planting Seeds, a 30-day guided self-care journal, and her work has been featured in numerous publications, including the anthology 1Habit to Thrive in a Post-COVID World. 

An island girl at heart, she finds joy in mangoes, strong coffee, gardening, and traveling. When she’s not writing or dreaming up her next destination retreat, Dr. Celestin is on a mission to help burned-out professionals release stress and design bold, WOW lives. Her journey is a testament to what’s possible when you plant seeds of creativity, courage, and connection.
