Hey, welcome to the Per Service Podcast, This is a show about life in the performing arts. (And I know that’s an incredibly vague premise, and perhaps you’d like a sexier tagline about how we will teach you how to make lots of money, or something like that). But these conversations, I whole heartedly believe are making us better musicians, and better people. Because we are trying to understand what makes us tick, what inspires us, and what encourages us by looking at some difficult topics through our lenses as classical musicians.
And on today’s show, we’re talking about seeing the world with a little more compassion-towards others, and towards ourselves. Because, turns out, most of us musicians are our own worst critic. How do we push ourselves to practice and improve, without making life miserable because we’re beating ourselves up. Looking outwards, how can we be supportive colleagues, encouraging friends, and positive influences at rehearsals and gigs to those around us? Empathy and Self Compassion.
Those aren’t topics that we’re that good at, or know a lot about. So we brought in an expert to walk through it with us. Our guest has a Ph.D in clinical counseling and is a Lecturer at Lynn University in the school of Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She’s Dr. Angie O’Gieblyn, and yes she’s my wife 🙂

Is being tough on yourself the only way to motivate yourself? Is it actually possible to motivate yourself because you love yourself?
