192. Stuff I Wish Every Missionary Knew
02/21/25 • 25 min
Welcome to podcast episode 192 - Stuff I Wish Every Missionary Knew. On today's episode we'll talk about, as missionaries, there's so much I wish we all knew from the start. In this episode, I'm sharing 8 key insights that can help provide peace, purpose and resilience throughout your mission experience.
First and foremost, your job is simply to show up and share Christ's light. Don't get caught up in numbers or specific outcomes - Jesus is the true miracle, not the baptisms or other measurable results. Remember that God's plan is perfect, and you can't derail it no matter what. Your feelings, even the tough ones like anxiety, are completely normal and okay. Focus on what you're doing well, not your shortcomings.
Planting seeds through your invitations and presence matters, even if you don't see the harvest. And keep your hope anchored in Jesus Christ and God's eternal plan, not just the immediate outcomes you desire. Apply these principles, and watch how your mission experience transforms.
As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.

191. Love As Fuel
Here in episode 191 - Love As Fuel we talk about how love is the fuel that ignites our greatest potential. In this special Valentine's Day episode, I dive deep into the transformative power of love - for ourselves, our relationships, and our missions.
This episode isn't just about loving others - it's about learning to love ourselves, even on the tough days when we're struggling. I explore how fear can so often get in the way of that self-love, and how choosing love over fear can be the key to unlocking our true power.
You'll hear me unpack the infinite, unchanging love of our Heavenly Parents and the Savior, and how tapping into that divine love can fuel our actions in ways we never imagined. Whether you're preparing for a mission, currently serving, or navigating life after your mission, this episode is a reminder that love is the greatest force we have access to. So let's choose love, always.

193. The Journey of a Client
Hey there, in episode 193 - The Journey of a Client, I share the journey that many of my clients go through as they work with me.
It's a process of becoming more aware, understanding the mechanics of our thoughts and feelings, and then navigating the back-and-forth of taking ownership versus blaming others. As we move through this journey, my clients often become self-critical before they learn to have compassion for themselves and the human experience.
This is a crucial step, as it allows them to fully surrender and embrace the progression that is part of life. I explain that personal development is not a linear path, but more like climbing a mountain, where we revisit certain aspects of ourselves at each new bend.
Ultimately, I hope this episode provides a helpful framework for anyone going through a period of growth and change, whether that's preparing for a mission, returning from one early, or just navigating the ups and downs of life. Remember, you're not alone in this journey, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.
