Kesehatan menstruasi adalah aspek mendasar dari hak asasi manusia, martabat, dan kesehatan masyarakat. Hari Kebersihan Menstruasi, yang diperingati setiap tanggal 28 Mei, didedikasikan untuk menghilangkan tabu dan meningkatkan kesadaran tentang pentingnya manajemen kebersihan menstruasi yang baik. Perilaku personal hygiene yang kurang pada saat menstruasi, serta penggunaan pembalut yang tidak sehat merupakan penyebab utama dari penyakit Infeksi Saluran reproduksi (ISR). Angka kejadian Infeksi Saluran Reproduksi (ISR) tertinggi di dunia terjadi pada usia remaja (35%-42%). Data Survei Demografi Kesehatan Indonesia (SDKI) tahun 2017 menyatakan bila perilaku remaja putri dalam menjaga kebersihan pada saat menstruasi masih buruk, yaitu 63,9%. Perilaku personal hygiene pada saat menstruasi antara lain adalah malas mengganti pembalut sehingga menyebabkan bakteri berkembang pada pembalut. Perawatan diri yang baik dan tepat adalah pembalut tidak boleh dipakai lebih dari enam jam dan harus diganti sesering mungkin apabila sudah terlalu basah. Tantangan dalam pemenuhan sanitasi yang memadai tetap ada, yang secara langsung berdampak pada kemampuan perempuan menjaga kebersihan diri selama menstruasi. Kita akan membahas bersama narasumber:1.

Mental Toughness Mastery Podcast with Sheryl Kline, M.A. CHPC
http://www.sherylkline.com/blogIn the latest Fearless Female Leadership interview, I had the privilege of speaking with Melissa DiMuro, the Chief People, Culture & Marketing Officer at Limbach, about leading with resilience during times of change and the importance of evolving alongside the businesses we serve.Melissa's journey started in a blue-collar household and was shaped by the strength and grit of her grandmother—a farmer's daughter who raised twelve siblings and worked multiple jobs just to keep food on the table. That legacy of resilience deeply influenced Melissa's leadership style and commitment to growth through discomfort.Though her path wasn't linear—initially aspiring to be a psychologist—Melissa leaned into her natural strengths and built a career across multiple male-dominated industries including printing, aviation, and construction. Her ability to navigate change and adapt through uncertainty positioned her as a transformational leader who prioritizes systems thinking, emotional intelligence, and authenticity.Melissa emphasized that today's leaders must lead with calm confidence, agility, and vision—even when the future is unclear. She urges emerging leaders to develop their emotional intelligence, stay informed, and most importantly, lead with intention no matter their title.Key takeaways from the interview:0:01:58 – Melissa's hardworking grandmother served as a model for persistence, strength, and self-determination.0:05:13 – Her career path wasn't a straight line—she pivoted from psychology to HR, learning to embrace discomfort as a growth driver.0:06:47 – Melissa chose to take on tough roles and switch industries, believing that growth happens when you lean into the uncomfortable.0:09:57 – Evolving leadership means practicing systems thinking and being agile amidst constant change.0:11:29 – Emotional intelligence and intentionality are essential for leading people through disruption.0:13:21 – Great leaders manage fear by preparing their teams and working themselves out of a job—developing others is key.0:15:13 – Change leadership is not just about strategy, but the how—transparency and empathy build trust.0:18:13 – Melissa shares how Limbach is deepening customer relationships by leading with purpose and service—not just transactions.0:21:18 – A leader's long-term success depends on relationships, context, and empowering teams with shared vision.0:26:11 – Her final advice: compete only with yourself. Be better than yesterday and seek inspiration—not comparison—from others.If you're interested in being featured on the Fearless Female Leadership podcast, or you're a leader looking to gain clarity on ‘what's next', how to build more cohesive and high-performing teams, and lead with greater confidence and influence, let's have a confidential conversation (http://www.sherylkline.com/meeting).Cheering you on always! – Sheryl

When Aarron was in college studying painting and drawing, he had an absolute certainty about the path my career would take. He was going to move to New York, make it big as an artist, and never look back. And Eli, as an undergrad in product design, wasn't sure what a career in his field even looked like. The skillset wasn't clearly defined yet. The outdoor product companies he was eyeing wanted me to conform to a neat little box: “Are you an industrial designer, or a mechanical engineer?” He wasn't sure how he fit in. Did our careers unfold as we expected? Absolutely not. Life and careers rarely go according to plan. There's so much beyond our control. But, despite the unexpected twists, there are lessons that can guide us in the right direction. And that's what we're here to explore today in this special live episode of Design Better, recorded right here at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Today, we'll be speaking with four design leaders who took a winding path but all found their way to significant work. Bios Kate Aronowitz is a design executive who has built her career empowering teams at some of Silicon Valley's most iconic companies. In addition to her role leading GV's operations team, Kate coaches GV portfolio companies on cross-functional design processes, scale, product development, and management strategy. Kate has built world-class design teams at eBay, LinkedIn, Facebook (now Meta), and Wealthfront. She joined the first user experience team at eBay before taking her experience to LinkedIn, where she started the user research team. As Facebook's first design executive, Kate grew the organization from 20 to 200, establishing multidisciplinary design teams in front-end engineering, user research, content strategy, and communication design. Steve Johnson, VP of Design at Netflix, leads a diverse, multidisciplinary, Emmy-award-winning Experience Design organization. His team's commitment to discovery, product innovation, brand development, and personalization has set the standard for streaming media platforms across the world. Prior to Netflix, Steve also led design teams at LinkedIn and Adobe. Jaime Lopez, Chief Design and Marketing Officer at Flatiron Health, Jaime Lopez is the Chief Design & Marketing Officer at Flatiron Health. She has over 15 years of startup product, design and marketing experience with a passion for creative problem solving and building and mentoring teams. In her role at Flatiron Health, Jaime uses her background to create and deliver high-quality experiences to oversee the company's entire marketing and design suite. Kat Holmes is EVP and Chief Design Officer at Salesforce where she's driving the future of AI, Data, and CRM experiences.

October 10th is World Mental Health Day - and to mark the event, Yale professor Dr Laurie Santos of The Happiness Lab podcast has assembled a crew of fellow hosts from the top wellness shows, a group we're calling The Titans of Happiness. Dr Joy Harden Bradford is a clinical psychologist and host of the podcast Therapy for Black Girls.Gretchen Rubin is the OG of wellbeing experts. She's written many best-selling happiness books - most recently Life in Five Senses and hosts Happier with Gretchen Rubin. Dan Harris was a TV news anchor who - after having a panic attack live on air - promoted mindfulness meditation practices on his hit show 10% Happier.
