Country music star Lisa McHugh opens up about her music career, burnout, motherhood and recovery after being diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). Lisa shares the reality behind breaking into the Irish country music scene, the success of Applejack, the support she received from Daniel O’Donnell and Philomena Begley, and the hard work behind becoming one of Ireland’s best known country singers. She also speaks honestly about the terrifying moment she suddenly lost the power in both of her legs after years of stress, exhaustion and constantly pushing through.
