Keelin your video’s are so comforting I’ve watched you through many phases of your life on here and you’ve grown and learned so much. Your rawness and sharing your opinions and perspectives and advice is so appreciated. I think a lot of your audience would agree that you are a safe person for more people than you even know, especially your daughter. I thought I didn’t want kids until I watched you beautifully navigate motherhood. Even with your heartbreak videos a few years ago, really taught me a lot about navigating heartbreak and finding a greater purpose and how it opens up for so many new beginnings. You helped so many people through lockdowns and covid scares. You are definitely one of the more introspective and honest people online atm. I’m so happy you’re coming home to yourself.
You’re mourning the future you imagined, not the one you would’ve actually had. Your mind created something beautiful. But it would’ve been hard for you to be with someone who couldn’t give you want you needed. To be free and stable and happy and content is the best thing for you and your daughter. Good things are ahead 🦋
Sending love to you Keelin. How powerful to present so vulnerably & authentically. It’s a joy to hear you articulate feelings/experiences us women rarely get space to. I hope joy finds you this week 💛
I feel like nobody ever talks about the reality of the negative emotions that can come with motherhood because mom shame is so real. I don’t have children, but I really empathize and understand where you’re coming from as a woman. You’re doing a great job and the way you’re so self aware and willing to learn is very admirable! ❤
Seeing you open up and be vulnerable is so moving. Hoping for the best for you, good things to come! Processing is so hard, especially being sentimental as you said
Watching your videos helps me support my sisters and female colleagues going through motherhood. It's such an education to hear your experience. Thank you ❤️
Can relate to losing friends and feeling the loneliness when people move away, relationships shift etc. You’re not alone in that. Just remember you’re doing the best you can. Proud of you 💕
Your videos are so important for me and I’m not even a mother! I can’t imagine how much you’re helping young parents and especially mothers who are feeling the same way ❤️ You are so important and so loved Keelin!
So happy you shared the stories about what it is like to be a mother at a young age, having no one to relate to and people not looking at you and at your daughter instead when you enter a room. My mum and my dad broke up when I was 1 and I grew up in my Grandparents house. My mum was 21 when she had me and post partum depression, so this video has giving me so much insight into how it was for my mum when I was a baby. You are so lucky to grow up in this information-era and to have so much help. I am so close to my grandparents and I think being raised by a village has been brilliant. Keep this content coming ❤
You are doing really well xx To be so honest and open with how you have been feeling and your emotions is really nice to listen too. You are bringing realness to light it is inspiring.
I am sending you so much love, I am so glad you have the emotional awareness you do. You are doing an amazing job, I can bet so many people could only wish to have had a mum like you 🩷 you got this.
You are so inspirational. Whenever I feel weak and overwhelmed by it all, I find so much comfort and even strength in your videos. Thank you Keelin ❤️ truly doing gods work for the girlies with your videos (this one in particular). Breakups obviously are the fucking worst thing on the planet, maybe worse than death because it’s such a fucked up kind of grief when the other person is still alive and you’re just like what?? Why are you not with me anymore?? So I truly wish you all the best!!!! Stay strong!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i feel uuu so much on the trust thing! when my breakup happened like obvs now im more guarded and have to heal more compared to my ex boyfriend which sucks because i got the damage during the relationship so i feel you with the trust thing :( but i dont wanna have my guard up
Keelin❤️ as a younger mama I relate so much to your words. Thank you for your vulnerability. You’re amazing, and so strong. I can’t wait to watch you and beeb grow ❤️❤️
Keelin I just want to say how much your videos are helping me at the moment, and I'm sure everyone else who watches you feels the same :) going through a breakup and moving away from everyone I know so feeling pretty lonely at the moment, but it's incredibly comforting to have someone experiencing similar feelings. Sending you and your daughter so much love :)
I have 1 year old twins and I relate to you with this! I just have to remember we’re not a lone but it’s important to speak about how we are feeling otherwise we just keep bottling it all up and feel like crap
I adore how raw and candid you are, you have a brilliant way of expressing yourself and the stigmatised negative emotions. You’re doing amazing, be proud or yourself ❤
I wish I could put into words how much you help me. I’m an expectant first time mama and was introduced to you by a friend once I found out I was pregnant. Being able to go back and watch you before you were pregnant, during your pregnancy and you now - to know the thought processes behind every stage , the growth, determination and strength you possess as a woman makes me so proud. If I could be anywhere near as good of a mum/person as you are I know I’d have succeeded at this little thing called life. Seeing you struggle is so hard, but hand on heart I know this is another hurdle that you will smash, along with multiple other hurdles that I have already watched you thrive over. Xx
I’ve been watching you for years and I can only thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your life and feelings, watching you grow and change, inspiring me to do the same. I relate to you so so much and you help me to be more emotionally intuitive and care for myself while being there for others You’re amazing sending love ❤️❤️
Oh Keelin❤️ sending all the love and support your way. Your videos mean so so much to me and I really appreciate your vulnerability. I think you are absolutely amazing, I know you don’t know me, but just know that you have a support system full of people who are loving you and your content and who are rooting for you!❤️❤️
I’m a young mam to a 3 & 1 year old and I so resonate with the feeling of being isolated.. I’ve only one friend with a child and it’s so hard to navigate being a mother and having that social interaction too.
Keelin, sending you so much love. I cried with you when you started tearing up. You are doing amazing, even though it must be such an emotional time I see your spark and true essence re-emerging and no doubt soon you will be the strongest, most loving and happy version of yourself when you come through this. You're an amazing woman.
Thank you for sharing honestly. I have nothing to compare it to so hearing similar experiences is so fucking valuable to me. Sending big womb energy to you mama. From what I can see of your life. You’re a Stellar mother, gal pal in general and person. You seem so smart and your eyes are so open. It’s amazing to see as I aspire to do the same but I know that’s also somewhat of a burden to carry so I guess I just wanna say I see you and I’m proud of you. As much as a stranger can be 😂🫶🏾
Keelin❤ You are so strong and beautiful and capable. Do not forget that about yourself. It’s strong of you to share these emotions and thoughts and to allow yourself to grieve the relationship that you lost, it’s okay to cry in front of your baby❤️ You are a mother but you’re also human and it’s perfectly fine to let your emotions show. Take comfort in the people around you even if they can’t always relate to you, just know that you aren’t alone. Sending love and happiness to you and your lil bub. Thank you for being so raw and open, you make us all stronger.
its crazy, but ever since you've had a child your videos feel more relatable to me than ever (even though I am 23 and not a mother). thank you for being so open and raw, you are an amazing role model to your audience
I know exactly how you feel. It’s so lonely and isolating when nobody knows how you feel & what you’re going through. I’ve distanced myself from friends and colleagues I would’ve hung out with before I had my baby because I’m just like ‘I dunno what to say to you anymore’. Love you ❤❤I teared up when you said about not wanting to cry in front of your baby. I feel like that too sometimes I just have to cry and I let him play in his play pen because I don’t want him to see me upset. I just have very little support. Thank you so much for sharing this I feel so seen ♥️ bless you & your beautiful baby. Things will get better.
You and Jasmine theodora have the best videos about postpartum. I don’t plan to be pregnant anytime soon but these videos are so eye opening to beauty behind being a mum. Love your videos and praying for you and your family ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You're doing amazing. I dont have kids but I've learnt so much from you, especially how to treat other people who have just had a baby!!! Ps you look gorg as usual
You are such a sweet and pure soul, I feel like you are so real and vulnerable in these videos, which is so comforting that not all social media is fake. I would like to hug you and thank you for being brave and sharing these tough emotions with us ❤❤ wishing you all the best for you and your baby
You should be so proud of yourself keelin - the amount you have grown as a person since I first watched your channel in 2020 is astonishing. You are truly inspiring to young women and mothers.
Keelin! I have never commented on a yt video before, but have watched all your vids the last 4 years. Firstly, think if anything is clear from your vids is that you are a FAB mother and will have such a lovely relationship with your daughter as she grows older. Secondly, a bit random but something I've loved over the years is seeing your opinions change on things. It's just a nice reminder that we're all human and we're all constantly trying to figure the world out. Lots of love xxx
New mother of a 5 week old here... and the scary "mood swings" !!! wow... i can relate. it's kinda scary. i've felt more up and down emotions than i ever thought possible!! Thanks for sharing. It's reassuring to know i'm not alone. xxx
Also, seeing you cry over the breakup is heartbreaking to watch. You are so so so strong and an amazing mother. Losing yourself to your child is hard. omg! The people walking into a room and not even greeting you is REAL. It's OKAY to need time away from your baby!!! Ur only human omg.
never had a baby, but I really relate to the intense mood swings, especially around my menstrual cycle. i completely relate to not wanting to take medication as well. it felt like taking medication would just be a quick-fix to my deep routed problems
When you mentioned about crying infront of your child, pleaseee never feel like you can’t show that!! My mum always would leave the room when she was upset and she’d never cry infront of me which had had a massive impact on how I deal with my emotions especially around family! Bless you though your videos always give me so much comfort ❤
Hi! I relate so much to everything you said. I got pregnant at 22 und now I am 25 years old. These last years I felt so lonely and anxious and I also got diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety. The only thing we differ, is that I decided to take the Sertralin and I think that saved my relationship with the babys father. We live together in Berlin and it is still not easy but we are managing. I just found your channel and I look forward to follow your journey!!
Talking about how you wanted to be held like a child reminded me of a book I read recently - the queen of dirt island. If you haven’t read yet would defo recommend; vaguely its about generations of women looking after each other.
keelin i love you!! your podcast w eimar got me through one of the worst periods of my life re a breakup. u are so strong and inspiring and i hope each day gets easier for you
Hi Keelin. Would you ever do an updated video on heartbreak/no longer being in a long term relationship? Going through one right now, I just know you’d have good advice, words to say, good perspectives :)
you are so loved. you are an incredible person, who is completely new and individually special. you are enough. i hope you believe that - i know you're hurting now, but i promise this pain is not going to bleed forever. you are amazing, miss moncrieff xoxo
Girlie I completely understand and I’m here as at 23 year old first time mum to my 1 year 5 month old son. I wish there was more groups were not alone x
Keelin I’m sitting here bawling with you I just want to give you the biggest hug. I couldn’t agree more with the overwhelming sense of keeping up appearances and keeping our babies safe and happy but we don’t feel it ourselves x
bass as a small handed person is so tricky to begin with, when you take the pressure off and just try to play some slower songs that u rly like it all starts to flow and then ur confidence gets better and u can start jamming for real. don't give up!!
So so glad to see you looking and sounding so well in this video (even if it was ovulation-induced!) Keep taking care of yourself and being patient and gentle with yourself. You’re doing amazing!
I play the piano and the guitar and I am here to tell you that having small hands absolutely makes a difference!! I have stupidly tiny hands and I've had to learn my own ways of making it work over the years. Bass is notoriously hard to play when you've got small hands, but you could try getting a smaller bass. There are different sizes out there. Even one that's child size but functions normally, honestly you'll find it SO much easier and it's worth it for your hands in the long run. I'm sure you're doing great anyway, don't be discouraged ❤
i dont have any friends anymore after i moved away and lived full time with my partner i felt there was just a disconnection from that alone as single friends have a different mind set. I literally talk to my 2 cats and my family. I only have 1 friend left who lives back where i grew up. i understand that difficulty of growing up, being in a different life position and missing what you had. however, where you are now is where you are meant to be, youve changed youve grown and evolved. their life might seem ideal but think about the fact that theyre probably in the same position as you last knew them (no shade tho). it is the most powerful thing to bring in new life, its so special, keep doing what youre doing and moving forward
I love you and I love your videos, I'm so sorry you feel alone like that. I feel exactly the same and I always have. I really hope things get better for you. I wish I had female friends like you.
There's actually been quite a bit of emerging research on post-natal depression being more prevalent in Western societies as there isn't a culture of collective support around new mothers, in Western societies women are expected to do it all on their own or when their partner isn't working full time whereas in non-Western cultures, there are cultural traditions and practices where the whole community will come together to support a new mother and her child with gifts, company and minding the child for her while she rests!
Oh my fuckijg god. That bit after talking about moving in with your parents literally feels like my broken record of my life. Single 24 year old mom rn. My bub turns two in January. Wow wow wow. So fucking real. BUT I was only ever a single parent and I’m not co parenting. So I do think a lot about how I would have dealt with the shift if I had known what having a partner in the traditional sense from the beginning. Like I only ever know this and weirdly did feel a bit of like relief that I had nothing to compare it to. Not saying that I feel any pity or whatever the fuck for people on the other side more like I know I’m so sensitive and i do feel kinda like if I had a breakup during pregnancy or after I think I’d have fallen apart at least a decent amount.
