About this listen

Mama Turtle Learns How to Carry the World is a tender, spiritually rich story that explores the profound journey of facing overwhelming responsibility and finding inner strength. When Creator God asks Mama Turtle to carry the world, she feels overwhelmed, much like anyone confronting a purpose that seems too grand.

How could she possibly handle such a huge responsibility? Like many mothers, she feels too small for the task of raising and releasing her children into a world full of pressure, expectations, and unknowns.

As she lays her eggs, watches her children grow, and feels the weight of caring for others, she learns to trust, especially when she doesn't have all the answers.

Inspired by Native American wisdom that honors women as life-givers, this story is a celebration of every mother who's ever felt afraid, stretched too thin, or unsure of how to keep going. It speaks to the deep responsibility of nurturing life and the grace that comes when you lean into trust and faith.

This isn't just a tale for mothers; it's an encouraging message for anyone who has felt small in the face of a huge calling. It speaks to the universal truth that you don't need to be perfect to keep going—you just need to show up and trust you're never truly alone. As the book reminds us, "For all creatures are too small for the jobs I give them to do."
