Please help to spread your kindness and words!❤️ I have been continuously playing through my paralysis journey. It has been increasingly tricky in recent days. We finally found the answer and possible recovery with a fantastic surgeon. I need your help to preserve the function of my hand as a violinist and return to enjoying performing without exhausting my body immensely.

Roughly 12% of people in the U.S. provide unpaid care to family members, a number that will likely increase as our population ages and people with disabilities live longer. Working to ensure long-term sustainability within these relationships is necessary as we look towards the future. For National Family Caregivers Month, join Hannah Soyer, Naomi D. Williams, and Amy Wang-Hiller for a discussion on navigating caregiving dynamics with family members – both as a caregiver and someone receiving care.

That can’t be!! I never shared this!? Well, it was the time we as musicians showed the most of creative self, diversity, and resilience in special time like 2020

Day 22/31: Amy Wang-Hiller, violinist.

Before shutdown, Amy was teaching privately, performing with Shreveport Symphony Orchestra & collaborating with colleagues at UNT College of Music.

She'd already been working on her own mental health by training to become an NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) practitioner, so Amy immediately noticed the emotional toll quarantine was taking on everyone... but after a friend committed su***de 💔 she decided to utilize her NLP training to help others on a broader scale by launching her Thrive x Strive Musician Podcast.

"I believe healing is from within. Our thoughts create our reality, so we are also the ones who can change and heal it. I am still perfectly flawed and always will be, but I am loving this process of sharing my journey of recovery to give people hope and the feeling that they are not alone."

BIGGEST CHALLENGE?
"Making sure that I don't fall into my old pattern of thinking: comparing and competing. They are the worst enemy to our happiness and fulfillment."

💕 She hit the nail on the head there. Comparison, especially when we are starting out with something new, does not serve our growth. We are each on our own journeys. 💕

And what a journey that has been for Amy!

She shares her powerful personal story of overcoming an eating disorder by rewiring her brain through meditation & heightened awareness. She also interviews leaders in the music community to initiate conversations about building a healthy body & mind.

"I believe all musicians have the special strength to heal our own trauma and bring our shadow self to the light."
