In this episode, we talk to Elizabeth Rowe (principal flutist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra) about the importance of being compassionate towards ourselves and others, especially in a field of work that is often isolating and competitive. We open up about some of our struggles and insecurities, asserting that being vulnerable is crucial to overcoming loneliness. We also discuss finding motivation to constantly improve, and how difficult it is to separate observation from judgement when evaluating oneself.
