Coming from the heart of Dublin, Ireland, these childhood friends from West Dublin never imagined their lives would lead them from their humble beginnings to the spotlight. Amilia, best known for her role as Katy O’Brien in the beloved Irish soap Fair City, and Kelly, who rose to fame on the scandalous Irish reality show Tallafornia, share their unique perspectives as they reconnect in their 30s.
After drifting apart after school, fate has reunited them, and they now navigate the ups and downs of raising young children in Ireland, while reflecting on how far they've come from their mischievous youth.
In this candid podcast, Amilia and Kelly dive deep 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 in Ireland, as well as the moments we’re not “supposed” to talk about, all while staying true to their Irish roots—no-nonsense, straight-talking, and full of heart.
Tune in for an engaging blend of nostalgia, honesty, and laughter, as Amilia and Kelly explore their Irish pasts, their Dublin roots, and the lessons they hope to impart to their children in Ireland and beyond.

Episode 25: Adolescence: We Need to Talk About Boys – Part One
In this gripping episode of Was Your Ma on Telly, Kelly and Amilia dive deep into the trending Netflix series Adolescence, featuring Stephen Graham, which is taking the world by storm. The show follows a young boy who’s arrested on suspicion of the brutal murder of a girl, sparking a powerful exploration of toxic male beliefs towards women, red pill society, incels, and a modern look at teenage culture.
The duo reflects on the darker side of male rage, social media’s influence, and the pressures young boys face today. Drawing from their own experiences growing up around teenage boys (some of which are not-so-pleasant memories), they discuss their concerns for the future of the next generation of men and their hopes.
A fascinating dynamic unfolds as Ami, raising young men, and Kelly, raising a daughter, share their different perspectives on the show and its broader implications.
Are their outlooks on the issues surrounding adolescence and masculinity different ?
In this episode, expect candid chats about Andrew Tate, TikTok trends that pit boy and girl parents against each other, Conor McGregor, and more.
Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation on the complexities of adolescence, male identity, and the world we’re shaping for the next generation.
