Description

Welcome to the Therapy Thrift Shop. I am your podcast host and thrift shop owner, Wini Akande. I share everything I have learned over the last ten years in managing my mental health as well as my present journey navigating the ups and downs of life with a mental illness. I’m not a psychiatry or psychology expert, but I do know my own experiences inside and out. I hope my honest take on mental health helps you keep the good stuff and trash the bad stuff in your own life. Or Maybe you know or love someone with similar issues, this place is for you too. Alright, let's go thrifting!
