Joan Kelly: Service Above Self

In this episode, I sit down with Joan Kelly—a nurse, entrepreneur, mother, and someone whose life and career have been shaped by service to others.Joan's career in medicine has taken her from clinical research and treatment during the HIV/AIDS epidemic to a leadership role in Massachusetts' COVID vaccine response. Today, she's an entrepreneur and the owner of her own medical aesthetics practice.But this conversation is about much more than Joan's career.We talk about faith and family, resilience, parenting, mentorship, health, and the importance of having people in your corner when life gets difficult. Joan also shares the story of her son Aiden, his recovery from two serious back injuries, and the role discipline and accountability have played in the man he's become.We also get into Joan's own philosophy on life—being willing to help, being honest with people, and doing the right thing even when it's not the easiest thing to do.There's plenty of laughter in this one, along with some meaningful moments that I didn't necessarily see coming.At its heart, this is a conversation about service, human connection, and showing up for the people around us.I hope you enjoy Episode 13 — Joan Kelly: Service Above Self.If you enjoy the conversation, please like, subscribe, share, and let me know what stood out to you in the comments.Compassion.
