289: “To Carry Wonder” A Memoir and Guide with Emese Parker, RN, WHNP-BC, MPH, PMH-C


Listen Later

New insights and fresh perspectives on pregnancy and postpartum are always helpful! I’m intrigued and excited for today’s guest who discusses her new book, To Carry Wonder. This unique book is a beautiful weaving of her personal experience, clinical information, and perinatal mental health information and is much different from most “pregnancy books.” I know this conversation and Emese’s book will offer help and hope to many people. Join us to learn more!

Emese Parker is a board-certified women’s nurse health practitioner (NP), perinatal mental health specialist, public health geek, and author of a fun, new pregnancy book called To Carry Wonder. After completing bachelor’s degrees in exercise science and nursing, Emese earned her master’s of science in nursing from Boston College and a master of public health degree from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. She has over 20 years of experience in healthcare and loves partnering with women of all ages as they navigate their distinct journeys in life. 

Show Highlights:

  • How Emese came into the field of women’s health and perinatal mental health
  • The difference in pregnancy and postpartum care/support between an Ob-gyn and a nurse practitioner
  • Why Emese’s book covers many more topics than the common pregnancy and postpartum topics
  • Why Emese’s book can help women at all stages of life
  • How the book helps with the way we question ourselves and feel shame around our mothering experience
  • Why a portion of Emese’s book proceeds will help the International Justice Mission, an organization committed to combating slavery and violence around the world
