Hey everyone, as you to tune into the latest episode of the podcast, where I step into the role of host to share my personal journey as a mom in the midst of the anticipation for my youngest son's mission call. I share how my reactions and emotions have evolved over the course of sending my kids on missions.

I delve into the uncertainty that looms when our missionaries are waiting for a call, or return home, and how we navigate the mix of excitement and nerves. Drawing inspiration from the classic "Oh, the Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss,we talk about getting out of the waiting room and how much growth is available.

I share a story from a few years ago when two of my boys joined the National Guard and left for boot camp. I found a new friend that we faced some challenging times together. Throughout the episode, I share actionable advice on managing uncertainty, including the power of reflection, journaling, and staying present. I also highlight insights from "Chatter" by Ethan Cross, which have been incredibly beneficial.

Exciting news for all you listeners out there: I'm hosting a Zoom class focused on setting boundaries and self-advocacy for missionaries. It's a valuable resource that I'm passionate about, and I encourage you to join and share with others who might benefit.

This episode is packed with relatable experiences and wisdom for anyone looking to navigate life's uncertainties with grace and courage. As a podcast host, I'm committed to bringing you content that resonates and empowers. So, don't miss out on this must-listen episode—perfect for parents of missionaries, individuals facing life transitions, and anyone seeking inspiration during times of change.

Hey there, friends! In the latest podcast episode, I had a heart-to-heart about preparing missionaries for their journey. I shared six essential tips from my own experience with my sons. First up, I reminded them that deciding to go on a mission is a one-time choice—no second-guessing needed! Setting boundaries came next, which is super important for staying true to oneself. Then, we talked about "manuals," those sneaky expectations we have for others that can cause unnecessary stress. Understanding our nervous system was another biggie, knowing when it's just jitters or something more spiritual. Asking good questions is key, too; it shows real interest in people's unique views. Lastly, I urged them to own their mistakes instead of blaming them on Satan—it's all about empowerment.
