We crash and burn because we rush what’s meant to be built slowly. Here's why slowing down isn't weakness — it's the real shortcut to growth, success, and peace.

In this episode, I sit down with Chris Yadon, Executive Director of Saprea, an organization dedicated to liberating individuals and society from the impacts of child sexual abuse. We talk about the hidden struggles men face in healing, the barriers of shame, how masculinity norms can complicate recovery, and why building safe, solution-oriented spaces matters so much.

Chris also shares how Saprea is scaling their programs, what healing really looks like, and why there’s real hope that we can make lasting change—if we stay committed. If you've experienced childhood trauma, know someone who has, or simply want to understand how to help move this conversation forward, I hope this dialogue offers some insight, encouragement, and tools to reflect on.

🧠 CORE INSIGHTS

• When things feel off, start with what’s *actually* in your control

• Journaling before working can shift your entire mindset

• You can hold multiple roles (coach, creator, parent) without needing one perfect identity

• Clarity often comes after consistency—not before

• Relationships drift when energy is low; small, intentional time reconnects

• The thing you’ve been calling “lack of time” might just be a lack of priority

---

📝 JOURNALING PROMPTS

• What’s one area I’ve been forcing that might just need a reset?

• What foundational need have I been putting off (sleep, space, movement)?

• Am I being honest about what matters right now—or just trying to maintain an image?

---

🔎 FRAMEWORK: CLARITY = TIME + ATTENTION – EGO

TIME → Make space, even 10 minutes

ATTENTION → Choose one meaningful thing today

EGO → Let go of how it’s “supposed” to look

We’ve all heard the stereotype—men don’t talk. But what if the truth is a little more complicated? In this video, I share how communication has shaped my marriage, the mistakes I’ve made, and how I’ve learned to strike a balance between silence and speaking up.

We explore:

* Why talking can heal a relationship—but isn’t always necessary

* When it's better to just act instead of talk

* How stress, resentment, and unmet needs often hide under the surface

* What happens when you avoid hard conversations—and what happens when you face them

This one’s not about being perfect. It’s about being willing.

If you’re trying to figure out how much you should share with your partner—or whether you're saying too much—this is for you.

In a world speeding toward automation and disconnection, what if the most important skill isn’t thinking faster… but feeling deeper? In this episode of the Jogging Turtle Podcast, I sit down with Bente Vosteen, a sensory leadership coach based in northern Germany. After a personal awakening that transformed her entire life, Bente now helps leadership teams, educators, and parents reconnect with their emotional and sensory intelligence—so they can lead and live from a place of deep presence and self-knowledge.

We explore:

* What it really means to feel disconnected from yourself

* The role of silence in leadership and self-awareness

* How AI is forcing a return to human-centered living

* The sensory gap in education, parenting, and leadership

* Why emotional regulation and creativity go hand-in-hand with sustainable success

* How to help children (and ourselves) rediscover who we are through sensory intelligence

*

If you’ve ever felt like you’re running on autopilot—or raising kids inside a system that leaves no room to feel—this episode offers a powerful reframe.

⏳ This is for anyone ready to slow down, feel again, and reconnect with what matters most.
