Work should be a place where we thrive — not just survive. But for many of us, especially those at the margins, it’s still a space of silence, burnout, and shrinking ourselves to fit in. Healing the Workplace is a bold, honest podcast exploring the future of mental health at work — through real stories, grounded insights, and socially conscious conversations. Hosted by Selma Lemsaadi (founder of Heal Magazine) and Axelle Ahanhanzo (founder of LAUDACE), each episode goes beyond surface-level wellness trends to uncover what it really takes to build safer, more human workplaces.

E03 | Sync, don’t sink: rethinking productivity through your cycle with Faten Salem

In this powerful episode of Healing the Workplace, hosts Selma Lemsaadi and Axelle Ahanhanzo are joined by Faten Salem, CEO and founder of Ilik, a trailblazing femtech startup redefining how women engage with productivity, mental health, and self-care through the science of cycle syncing.

Faten shares her inspiring journey from navigating the entrepreneurial world in Palestine to launching a purpose-driven business in the Netherlands, all while challenging taboos around menstruation, burnout, and women’s health in corporate and male-dominated environments.

Together, we explore:

What cycle syncing really means—and why it’s not just a wellness trend
How today’s workplaces often neglect women’s biological rhythms
The toxic myth of constant productivity and the healing role of rest
Building resilience while navigating entrepreneurship, burnout, and geopolitical stress
Creating inclusive, trauma-informed spaces for open conversations on mental health and menstrual equity
