Episode 7: Going Inward

Erin has been going on retreats for years. Silent retreats, breathwork, mindfulness. It’s not a phase, it’s part of how she functions. Terry got into mindfulness, did the work, and then came back the other direction. Genuinely.

This week they get into what going inward actually does, and whether it survives contact with real life. What Erin gets from retreats that she can’t get anywhere else. What Terry found when he was in it, and what made him walk back out. The gap between the person who goes away for stillness and the person who comes home to a full house and a packed week. And whether two people in the same marriage can be at completely different places on this without it becoming a problem.

Plus: They read back over listener comments from Episode 3, money and power dynamics.

Tell us in the comments: have you ever tried a retreat or mindfulness practice? Did it stick, and what brings you back to yourself when nothing else is working?
