Spotlight: Lisa Kelly of Celtic Woman & Riverdance

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.You can find Lisa at the links below:https://www.facebook.com/lisakellysings https://www.facebook.com/TheLisaKellyVoiceAcademyhttps://www.facebook.com/middleageishpodcastNiamh's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thewellnessclinicirelandPlease share this podcast with your friends, like and subscribe to hear more, and leave a comment and give me your feedback!Timestamps00:00 Intro02:00 Lisa’s career in Riverdance & Celtic Woman06:00 Niamh’s performing arts dreams08:55 Chloe Agnew09:38 Lisa’s Riverdance period & meeting Scott10:24 Touring with young children17:00 20th anniversary show18:00 Settling in PTC20:35 Lisa’s talented children22:40 Staying healthy while touring26:50 Lisa’s teaching philosophy29:40 Setting boundaries31:40 Taking things personally33:40 Mothering teens35:15 Making choices outside “the norm”37:10 Family nutrition40:38 Middleage-ish podcast43:09 Pockets of Joy podcast43:35 Lisa’s Voice Academy students51:00 Lisa’s Book / Movie that made a big impression51:55 Desert island meal52:34 Motto for life53:10 Lisa’s idea of perfect happiness Hosted on Acast.
