Summary
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!
I’ve been following Laura on social media for years and was so excited when she announced the launch of the book. She hasn’t disappointed me! There are some empowering and wise words from her throughout the book as well as side splitting humour which encapsulates the wonders of becoming a parent. As a perinatal yoga teacher and birth educator, I will encourage women to listen to this to help them realise the importance of self worth which is often lost along this journey of life and parenthood. Well done Laura! You should be immensely proud x

honest
Well you've probably already heard of Laura or her page knee deep in life if you're looking at reading her book if you have you know what to expect, if you haven't... Well the ugly truth (in a good way) about somes it up along with hilarious, heartbreaking and a lot of other emotions in summary a great book if you've got a great sense of humour if you've got a stick up your arse it's probably not for you 😉

emotional roller coaster.
so glad I purchased the audio book! I've struggled actually reading books since having kids but it was really something else to hear and the emotions in your voice and feel them myself. motherhood is a mine field! you were so honest and it resonates deeply with me. thank you Laura xxx

Thank you
I didn’t know you’d written a book until I heard on your latest no holes barred pod. I wish I’d heard this way sooner…. Like in 2007 when my son was born. Just the confidence to try and build now. You are an inspiration. Thank you for writing it. X
