In this solo Q&A episode, Keelin gets candid about the realities of motherhood - from navigating identity, relationships, work, and guilt, to finding time alone that fills your cup. She shares why her family is moving to France, reflects on co-parenting and reuniting with Jason, and offers thoughtful advice for anyone undecided about having kids. Plus: the song that defines this season of her life, the one that reminds her of her daughter, and the nostalgic childhood traditions she’s passing on.
In this episode, Keelin chats with parenting creator and advocate Melissah Mullins about life with her three girls, from the whirlwind of her first birth to the tough pregnancies that followed.

She also shares how she balances family traditions, hectic school runs, and content creation - all while carving out space for joy, individuality and a little bit of chaos.
