Today we have Dea Nicaj, a violinist with an amazing story. In this episode we talk about the impact of teachers in cultivating musicians' love for music, staying positive when experiencing pain, and how personal training/exercise can help with musicians' pain. As she learned more about fitness and remained consistent in lifting weights, she was able to attain the results that enabled her to play for more than two hours without pain after half a year of being in pain. Through exercise, she was able to strengthen her body, enjoy what she loves to do as a musician, as well as find healing within her mental state of mind.
