The road to Kailyn’s success hasn’t always been easy, and over the years audiences have watched her experience both highs and lows. Take a look inside the life of one of television’s most recognizable moms, and find out how she’s been able to juggle both business and motherhood.

YOUR LIFE IN THE PUBLIC SPOTLIGHT BEGAN IN 2010 WHEN YOU WERE CAST ON 16 & PREGNANT, BUT BEFORE BECOMING A MOM, WHAT WERE YOUR GOALS FOR A FUTURE CAREER? I wanted to go to school and pursue dentistry of some capacity. However, I didn’t have the means to go to college back then and I didn’t know if that would be possible.

HOW HAS BEING A MOM AND A REALITY TELEVISION STAR IMPACTED YOUR CAREER AS AN AUTHOR AND ENTREPRENEUR? I have to give a lot of thanks to the show for opening those doors to me. It’s provided me with connections and networking opportunities that made my other endeavors possible. But it’s hard to juggle the TV show and keep it separate from my other business work and being a mom. It’s a little chaotic most of the time.
