Why Postpartum Care Is Failing Moms | Ben Thinking Podcast Ep. 154

Ben sits down with Dr. Kelsey (@the.mobility.project), a mobile physical therapist specializing in moms and babies, for a conversation on healthcare, motherhood, and building a business that actually supports people. From choosing physical therapy early on to navigating a system that often falls short, she shares how her path evolved—and why she decided to do things differently.

They talk about the gap between school and real-world practice, the realities of postpartum recovery, and why treating the mom and baby together changes everything. Dr. Kelsey also breaks down her shift away from insurance-based care, what it takes to build a direct-pay business, and how she balances entrepreneurship with raising a family. This episode highlights what’s missing in modern care—and what it looks like to create something better.
