Episode 43 - Learning to Slow Down: Marriage, Boundaries & the Inner Work by Unu

In this solo episode, Unu Tran reflects on a deeply personal journey following a myofascial release intensive in Sedona, Arizona. Stepping away from the demands of business and daily life, Unu shares how slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and embracing stillness helped him recognize how often he lives in his head rather than in his body. Through hiking, journaling, and observing the unhurried wisdom of nature, he explores the importance of presence, awareness, and letting go of the constant rush that fuels anxiety and disconnection.

Unu also opens up about marriage, conflict, and inner work, offering honest insights into the challenges of navigating differences, emotional triggers, and communication within a relationship. Drawing from his experiences in marriage groups, counseling, and myofascial release, he reflects on how unresolved childhood patterns show up in adult relationships—and why true healing requires personal responsibility rather than trying to change a partner. Along the way, meaningful moments in nature, including symbolic encounters with trees and wildlife, reinforce lessons about resilience, boundaries, and growth through adversity.

The episode culminates in Unu’s reflections on parenthood and readiness. Through deep inner listening and embodied awareness, he arrives at a calm, grounded realization that he is ready to become a father. He emphasizes the importance of integration after intensive experiences—bringing insights back into everyday life through practices like self-treatment, gratitude, and conscious pacing. This episode is an invitation to slow down, turn inward, and trust the process of healing as it unfolds, one step at a time.
