Shakira Akabusi: Managing A Mental Health Issue Takes A Lot Of Strength

My guest on today’s episode of Period Story is Shakira Akabusi, the author of The StrongLikeMum Method, women’s health expert and pre and postnatal exercise specialist.


In this episode, Shakira shares:

  • How a few careless words from a doctor led to post-natal anxiety and OCD
  • What her therapist told her that changed her perspective on the anxiety
  • How she tailors the way she exercises depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle
  • How she’s able to do everything she does as well as be a mum of 4 children
  • And of course, the story of her first period


Shakira says it takes an incredible amount of strength to manage depression, anxiety or any kind of mental health issue on a daily basis and this recognition can help build resilience.


Thank you, Shakira!
