S3:E20 - Keely & Leni

The No Need for Prince Charming is proudly brought to you by Solo Mum Society.

Meet Keely and her adorable daughter Leni

Keely always assumed she’d be a mum. She had an incredible career, a great group of friends, and an amazing life. She just didn’t find a suitable partner to make that dream happen, so she took matters into her own hands. It wasn’t a short or simple journey for Keely, but she finally conceived her gorgeous daughter after travelling to Cyprus. In this episode, we discuss what she went through for overseas fertility treatment, including some great advice for anyone considering that option, her fabulous new business, Keni Sleepwear, which is launching very soon, and how having her daughter has changed her in ways she didn’t anticipate, including making her even more determined and driven than she already was.

KENI SLEEPWEAR

Premium sleepwear designed to be streetwear... because PJs that can only be worn for 8 hours a night, aren’t worthy of the multi-tasking, overachieving, stylish queen you are.

Find out more about Keely’s gorgeous new sleepwear range at www.kenisleepwear.com and follow her on instagram @kenisleepwear
