Hannah is also executive producer and host of the first reality makeover series on public television—“Hannah, Help Me!” This 13-episode series documents Hannah giving overwhelmed moms a one-on-one life skills makeover with her usual “tough love” approach, and will be premiering nationwide in the summer of 2009. Her latest book, Hannah Keeley’s Total Mom Makeover: A Six-Week Program to Completely Transform Your Home, Health, Family, and Life (Little, Brown & Co, April, 2007), is a life-changing tool to help moms get the most out of life.

Hannah wasn’t always “America’s SuperMom.” Within a few years after her first child, she found herself in a cluttered home, out of shape, in financial ruin, and emotionally depressed. She knows all too well the challenges that moms face. Within months she was able to turn her life around and is now helping moms everywhere do the same thing.
Hannah’s unique perspective with inspiring moms doesn’t just stop at the pep talk. She continually supplies them with resources to enable them to live their best lives. Her website, HannahKeeley.com is full of tips, strategies, helpful downloads, and even coaching services and seminars. Hannah’s message is definitely resonating with moms
Hannah attended Furman University in Greenville, SC, where she majored in psychology and met her husband, Blair, who at the time, had no idea that they would have seven kids in twelve years. Before pursuing a career as Supermom, Hannah worked as a behavioral therapist. But as she states, “I do way more behavior therapy with my kids than I ever did with my clients!”
Hannah, Blair, and their children, Kelsey, Katie, Kyler, Karis, Korben, Klara, and Kenna live in Richmond, VA where they deal with the real issue of family life, like trying to get grass to grow in their lawn and finding enough leftovers for dinner.
“Hannah, Help Me!” is a national public television series that documents Hannah Keeley putting a desperate mom through a two-day life skills makeover. After receiving a cry for help, she enters in, assesses the problems, and gives the mom a much-needed jump-start in the right direction. Operating as executive producer and host, Hannah helps moms help themselves, which is a far cry from the onslaught of current makeover shows. Instead of altering the life conditions that a person has created, Hannah alters the person who has created the life.
Season One:Hannah transforms the lives of six overwhelmed moms:
• Kristen—Suffering from her husband’s recent job loss, whiney kids, and a cluttered home is enough to drive this mom to despair.
• Stephanie—Running her own business and managing a busy family is making this mom lose control and wipe all the joy out of her life.
• Laurie—Working from home and managing her family’s senseless spending is leaving this mom with an attitude, wardrobe, and marriage that screams defeat.
• Diana—Managing a full-time career to support the family is leaving this mom with loads of guilt, lots of stress, and standards that are unrealistic.
• Melissa—Homeschooling her kids, managing her cluttered home, and dealing with a weight problem is driving this mom to the edge.
• Rachel—Having a marine husband deployed in Iraq is leaving this stressed-out mom with unruly kids, a disorganized home, and a horrible diet.
The final episode of “Hannah, Help Me!” is the Mom Retreat, where Hannah and all of the moms who have experienced life transformations gather in the Caribbean for a much-needed vacation and a few challenges to face.

Most Idea homes are just that—an idea that cannot be executed in reality for the average family. Designer homes are too unrealistic. Environmental homes are too expensive. They all have great ideas and beautiful design, but to actually take those ideas and use them with the average family is close to impossible. The problem with today’s idea homes are that they do not marry the aesthetic needs of the mom with the activity needs of the family in a way that fits the average budget. "Hannah's Family Home" is a brand new web video series that will be premiering in August 2009, covering a budget-friendly, family-focused home renovation.
OriginHannah did not choose a level plot to build an expensive home from scratch. Instead, she chose a 2 bedroom/2 bath rancher stuck on a plot with overgrown woods to renovate. Yes, you read that correctly. A family of nine moving into a 2BR/2BA home just a scant over 2000 square feet—now this is a story that today’s budget-concerned family can get excited about!
ExecutionHannah will document the renovation in a reality format that moms can relate to. Instead of scripted lines and fancy lighting, Hannah will illustrate hands-on how-tos with a busy family in tow, along with all the bumps that come along with it. Have you ever tried to paint a wall with a three-year-old? Teach a sixteen-year-old girl how to install drywall? Clear trees and install a yard with a ten-year-old boy? The reality videos will not just capture renovation. They will capture the family at its best (and worst). Finally! Something a mom can really understand and execute!
