"I arrived at the retreat with what I believed was solid knowledge of my challenges and barriers. While there, I realized that those challenges were only the visible part of the iceberg, and that I would have to go deeper to more fully learn of the internal barriers. Thankfully, Michelle was there to support me in going deeper, questioning, and trying new techniques to get the most out of my writing time."
