Was Your Ma on Telly

Join actor Amilia Keating and reality TV star Kelly Donegan as they embark on a heartfelt journey through their millennial past, now seen through the transformative lens of motherhood.

With Amilia best known for playing Katy O’Brien in the beloved Irish soap Fair City and Kelly rising to fame on the scandalous reality show Tallafornia, these childhood friends from humble West Dublin never imagined their lives would lead them to the spotlight. After drifting apart after school, fate has reunited them in their 30s, as they navigate the challenges of raising young children and discover that parenting often leaves out the most important lessons.

In this candid podcast, Amilia and Kelly delve into the complexities of motherhood—exploring themes of identity loss, shifting self-esteem, mental health struggles, and those intrusive thoughts we often keep to ourselves. They aim to shine a light on the raw, unfiltered realities of parenting that we’re not “supposed” to discuss.

As they reminisce about their mischievous childhood adventures, they also reflect on how their past shapes their present. Together, they tackle the difficult conversations they’ll eventually have with their own kids about their time on television, all while pondering how they’d explain their youthful escapades in a way that resonates with the next generation.

Disclaimer: They weren’t always the best behaved!

Tune in for an engaging blend of nostalgia, honesty, and laughter, as Amilia and Kelly explore their pasts and the lessons they hope to impart to their children.
