"Take the pressure off": Why it’s time to rewrite the rules of postpartum fitness

Dela

Balancing fitness with the relentless demands of parenting often feels like an impossible task. Between juggling childcare logistics, full-time work and constant sleep deprivation, carving out time for personal wellness is usually the first thing to fall off the to-do list.


In this episode of Baby On The Brain, hosts Felicity Thistlethwaite and Miranda Larbi are joined by Shakira Akabusi – founder of Strong Like Mum, fitness expert, and mother of four – for an unfiltered, relatable dive into post-baby fitness. Together, they unpack why movement so often feels like a chore, dismantle the pressure of wellness tracking and high-intensity burnout and share how to rebuild a sustainable relationship with exercise.


From navigating different stages of motherhood to the power of micro-habits like ten-minute walking breaks and simple morning routines, this conversation offers a refreshing roadmap for taking the guilt out of movement. Tune in for practical advice, honest laughs, and a compassionate reminder that exercise should leave you feeling energised, not exhausted.
