Lisa Kelly of Celtic Woman & Riverdance fame joins Niamh O'Connell to discuss her current business "The Lisa Kelly Voice Academy", her podcast "Middleage-ish", her past career touring with stage shows and young children, and how her career took off in the early 2000s.

Lisa's four children are extremely talented: champion Irish dancers / actors and we talk motherhood, "the juggle" of every working mom, her move to Peachtree City, Georgia, USA and her pride in her current students as they move towards their goals.

She continues to be honest, inspiring and still has her feet on the ground after all her success. Inspiring me back in the 90s as a "triple threat" in our community theatre group, she inspires me now as a podcaster and motivated mom, and I know you are going to love our conversation as much as I did.
