which explores how resistance is often our biggest
obstacle. She also shared an insightful perspective:

“I think it is good to understand what your why is and
what your values are and be able to articulate them or
have written them down,” Erwin explained. “Sometimes
you have to go back there. You need touchstones when
you are dealing with change. One of the touchstones that
I shared with you is understanding your visceral reaction
to change [like when you wrote with your non-dominant
hand] … Another touchstone is understanding your why.
Why are you doing this? I’m doing this because of [my
family]. At the end of the day, when it really gets hard,
when change comes my way, I have to be quiet for a
minute and say, this is why I am doing this.”
