About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

When does Mary Effing Poppins arrive?

Laura Belbin survived hitting her 30s (oh, to be wrinkle-free again), anxiety (just), motherhood (two adorable little shits) and the new body that went with it (a left tit that sags slightly more than the right, anyone?). In Knee Deep in Life she gives a fearless and filthy account of her transformation from no-responsibilities woman to being in demand 24/7, the heartaches and humiliations, and most importantly, her (definitely-pushed-to-the-limits-but-totally-indestructible) marriage to Steve, the man who helped her to hold it together when post-natal depression kicked in.

Full of heart and wit - not to mention swearing that would make a sailor blush - this is the beast of a book Laura intends on riding into the hands of those people who doubt themselves every single day: the ones who have struggled to accept the way they look, the mums-to-be about to find themselves taking their first step towards parenthood and the women bossing it like bad-asses every single day but never getting the credit they deserve. You are more than enough.

Amazing! Brilliant! Emotional! Funny! Related so much! This woman makes my day so much better with her amazing Instagram stories!
Makes me feel less alone and that how I feel isn't crazy there's also others who feel the same. Sharing her experiences with mental health and telling the ins and out of things some wouldn't is just brilliant 😍 thank you Laura!

Laura is brilliant; I’m so pleased she read her own book for this; after following your blog for a while, I’m used to hearing your voice which made it easier to relate to you. Brilliant book, brilliant advice, great to be able to relate to so many moments and know that we are “all in the same boat”. Thank you x
