Summary

In today's episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the profound teachings of one of nature’s gentlest creatures: the turtle. Through my personal connection with these magnificent beings, especially the giant sea turtles I encountered in Maui, I reflect on their embodiment of a slow and steady approach to life. I draw inspiration from their ability to navigate both water and land with grace, emphasizing how their presence can teach us to embrace calmness amidst the chaos of everyday life.


The turtle serves as a reminder that patience, groundedness, and resilience are essential components of our healing journeys. As I explore the turtle's way of life, I share insightful quotes and wisdom from respected figures like Thich Nhat Hanh and Hermann Hesse, highlighting the importance of rest and the inner sanctuary we can access within ourselves. I emphasize the turtle’s slow and deliberate pace as a means to foster healing, reminding listeners that rest is medicinal, and a gentle approach is both safe and sustainable.


Throughout the episode, I outline several key turtle teachings that are integral to healing anxiety. Firstly, I discuss the concept that "slow is sustainable" and how the energy expended in rushing can hinder our progress. I encourage listeners to adopt a more compassionate self-view, understanding that their journey is unique and shouldn’t be compared to others. Each small, steady step is meaningful, and healing is not a race.
