Interview with Lindsey Stirling - Maintaining a Healthy Tour Lifestyle

This week we welcome Lindsey Stirling to the podcast! Lindsey Stirling is a professional violinist, dancer, performance artist, and composer. In addition to everything she does professionally - she is an amazing all-around person full of compassion and charisma. It shows through in everything she does in life. I originally met Lindsey about seven years ago and toured with her briefly. It was so nice to reconnect and thank her for everything she taught me, as well as learn a bit more from her and catch up with her. I think this is a special episode because Lindsey in particular is very good about sharing personal experiences with the intention of relating to and helping others. We appreciate your openness endlessly - thank you, Lindsey! See you soon on the Artemis tour!

In this episode of the Don’t Shit On The Bus podcast we will learn:

• How to stay mentally and physically strong on tour

• How Lindsey creates a family environment while touring

• Practices your craft before touring

• Lindsey changing her environment for a mental break
