Funke Akindele Opens Up on the Importance of Self-Care for Women
Nollywood star Funke Akindele says she’s learned that putting herself first is not selfish but necessary. From resting and praying to spa days, she now makes time for her mental, physical, and spiritual health. She reminds women that you can’t pour from an empty cup. Small acts of self-love—sleeping well, taking walks, finding moments of peace—can all count as self-care. It doesn’t always have to be expensive. In a recent interview, Funke shared how building her brand meant sacrificing social life and resting less. She urged her fans to work on themselves for their own growth. Actress Uche Ogbodo chimed in, advising mothers not to lose their identities in parenthood and to invest in their own well-being.
