What nobody tells you about the postpartum  With Kelsey Parker The world can paint an idealistic, unrealistic picture of the postpartum and many motherhood experiences when, for most, it is raw, a messy kind of beautiful and for me with a side plate of bribery, conflicting emotions and endless learning.   This week I am joined by Kelsey Parker @being_kelsey. Kelsey is co-founder and owner of K2K Performing Arts School in Orpington and the wife of the late Tom Parker from boyband The Wanted. Kelsey found herself an unexpected grief expert and spokesperson after she was widowed at just 32 years old. You may also have heard Kelsey on her podcast Mums The Word, today we are chatting about what surprised us the most about becoming mothers in a conversation of expectations vs reality so grab a cuppa and join us for some real talk.  Extra Stuff: Midwife Pips Guide to a Positive Birth: https://www.midwifepip.com/midwife-pip-books Check out Midwife Pip’s Exclusive Membership - http://www.midwifepip.com/ Get in Touch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/midwife_pip Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/midwifepip Email: https://www.midwifepip.com/contact-us Enjoy Listening... and don't forget to subscribe!  Midwife Pip x  Learn more about your ad choices.
