This week’s guest is the energetic, uplifting and epically talented Elise McCann. Elise is a well known actress and singer, currently starring as the lead, playing Donna in the Australian production of Mamma Mia the musical. She is also the co-founder of Hey Lemonade, a brilliant stress and motivation app, which gives you 3 minute pep talks to boost your mood and help you deal with modern day problems. 

In this episode, Elise shares what it was like as an entertainer when the pandemic hit and her life and work as she knew it ground to a halt. We hear the wonderfully uplifting story of how this challenging time led Elise and her friend and fellow entertainer Lucy Durack to create the Hey Lemonade app to deliver inspiring pep talks and help people (and themselves) turn lemons into lemonade. 

We chat about what a day-in-the-life of Elise looks like and she shares the love she has for musical theatre and how much joy it brings to her life - which totally shows in her performances, and you can hear her enthusiasm throughout this entire episode. Elise also talks about the importance of friendship and how working with Lucy has been so wonderful because they always have each other’s back. 

Elise is truly inspiring and brings so much positivity to the world in everything that she does, so we were thrilled to have her in the studio. And if you like a sing-a-long, make sure you stay tuned to hear Di and Elise sing some favourites.
