In this episode of Owning Your Menopause, I sit down with Shakira Akabusi—pre and postnatal fitness guru, Mum of four, and founder of Strong Like Mum—who, after twins via caesarean and battling anxiety, is on a mission to empower women through movement, with strength training as her go-to for tougher bones, calmer minds, and owning pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause.

We unpack Move the Gap, our collab with Jenny Stout and Shakira’s pull-up-master Mum, smashing the gender health gap with real strength at any age.

Shakira keeps it raw: listen to your body, embrace the chaos, and thrive. No fluff—just honest, inspiring talk for anyone juggling life’s wild ride.
