Best of weekender: Tete-a-tete with author Robin Sharma, and meet the woman changing the sports scene in India
This week, on the occasion of International Women's Day, which is celebrated every year on March 8, YSWeekender also featured stories related to women's health.
As a leadership icon and mentor to corporates and professionals alike, Canadian writer Robin Sharma encourages everyone to channel their innate potential to be an everyday hero. Once this happens, he feels the world won’t need to wait for traditional heroes to rise, as everyone can stand up to the volatilities of an uncertain life.
Hence, he shares his wisdom in the hope of teaching people to become their best selves in his new book ‘The Everyday Hero Manifesto’, published in India by Jaico Publishing House.
Women in sport management is an uncommon sight, with Hannah Waddingham’s character in the hit Apple TV show ‘Ted Lasso’ being a notable exception. Yet, the Indian glass ceiling in this sphere has been firmly broken by Delhi-based Radha Kapoor Khanna, the owner of Dabang Delhi Kabaddi Club.
The team recently won the title in the eighth season of the VIVO Pro Kabaddi League in a gripping final match against Patna Pirates on February 25, 2022.
In addition to Kabaddi, she has also invested in promoting other sports. She owns the Dabang Mumbai Hockey Club and the Dabang Delhi Table Tennis Club, where her team won the title in the second season of the Ultimate Table Tennis League.
Women are creators, nurturers, and caregivers. They juggle numerous roles as diligent homemakers, supportive wives, caring mothers and daughters, and creative and dedicated professionals. However, in the process of donning these varied hats, they often let their own health take a backseat.
To remind them not to do so, on the occasion of International Women’s Day on March 8, 2022, California-based Omnyk organised a special Facebook Live session with renowned Indian Cardiologist Dr PK Hazra, to speak about women’s heart health.
The area that holds the most passion for me is women’s health. Understanding what happens in different women is an art and a science. On this International Women’s Day, I thought it would be wonderful to look through how premenstrual syndrome can be different for different women, what are the root causes of different patterns, and what can we do about it.
In order to navigate this fascinating area, we’ll break it down into three key areas, while looking at it through the lens of functional medicine and Ayurveda.
