Welcome to Proper Mental episode 81 with Laura Belbin from Knee Deep in Life!
Laura is a wife, mother, daughter, sister, and the woman you avoid eye contact with in the playground.
She is also an author, blogger and the content creator behind Knee Deep in Life.
Laura uses her blog to talk about parenting, mental health, female empowerment and body acceptance all while showing what real life actually looks like and making people laugh.
She went through a very dark period of post-natal depression after the birth of her first child and then went through it all again after the birth of her second.
In this episode we chat about having kids and the pressures of modern life. We chat about post-natal depression, therapy, and learning how to stop caring what anyone thinks.
Laura was amazing to chat to and we got on like a house on fire. She nearly had to postpone as she was losing her voice and she showed up late after stopping to rescue a baby bird in the street which, if you follow her socials, is exactly the sort of thing you’d expect!
It’s a wonderfully open and honest conversation and it was an absolute pleasure to hear all about Laura’s life.
