156. Overcoming the RM Struggle
The LDS Mission Podcast
06/14/24 • 31 min
Jennie here with episode 156 of the LDS Mission Podcast. This week we're talking all about overcoming the RM struggle.
As many of you know, coming home from a mission can be a big adjustment. Here are the main things that I hear over and over from return missionaries, "I really struggled with not having a clear schedule and purpose anymore." "I feel lost and I'm not sure what to do next."
In this episode, I share some of the most common struggles returned missionaries face according to my strategy calls with RMs. I also provide 6 mantras and mindset shifts that can help ease the transition home.
Whether you're preparing to serve, currently serving, or have recently returned, I hope you walk away with some helpful tools and know that whatever you're experiencing is completely normal. Thanks for tuning in, and I hope to see you back next week for another episode!

131. Your Own Dickens Christmas Carol
The LDS Mission Podcast
12/22/23 • 32 min
In this episode, we explore the concept of the three versions of ourselves - past, present, and future. The inspiration for today's episode came from watching the movie "Spirited" after Thanksgiving. This movie has a modern take on Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol. The movie follows a similar storyline, where Ryan Reynold's character is visited by ghosts who try to redeem and change their ways.
To honor and appreciate our past selves. Be grateful for your past selves and acknowledge that you wouldn't be who you are without them.
We then move onto our present selves and future selves.
Overall, this episode explores the importance of honoring and appreciating each version of ourselves - past, present, and future - and I want encourage listeners to practice gratitude for their past selves and find joy in the present and hope for the future.

170. Let's Talk About Shame
The LDS Mission Podcast
09/20/24 • 35 min
Hey everyone, here on podcast episode 170, I'm excited to dive into the topic of shame in this episode. Shame is a complex emotion that many of us struggle with, especially during the unique experiences of serving a mission.
In this episode, I explore the differences between shame and guilt, highlighting how they can be intertwined yet distinct. I share insights from Brene Brown's research, outlining the four elements of shame resilience: recognizing shame, practicing critical awareness, reaching out to others, and speaking openly about shame.
By understanding shame as a natural human emotion, rather than something to be feared or avoided, we can learn to process it in a healthy way. I encourage listeners to approach shame with self-compassion, recognizing that we all experience it and that it doesn't make us inherently flawed or broken.
Throughout the episode, I emphasize the importance of normalizing the discussion around shame and other emotions. By sharing our experiences and supporting one another, we can reduce the isolation and shame that often accompanies these feelings. Whether you're preparing for a mission, currently serving, or a returned missionary, I hope these insights empower you to navigate the emotional landscape of the mission experience with greater understanding and resilience.
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 missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.

150. The Most Empowering Thoughts
The LDS Mission Podcast
05/03/24 • 27 min
Hey everyone, it's Jennie here with episode 150 of the LDS Mission Podcast.
Today I wanted to discuss the power of our thoughts and how we can empower ourselves through more positive self-talk.
As missionaries, we often experience doubts, worries and insecurities. But did you know the thoughts we choose to think can significantly impact our confidence and outlook?
In this episode I share how our default thoughts can sometimes be unhelpful, and offer alternatives focused on personal empowerment rather than external factors. I also discuss the importance of using "I statements" to build ourselves up regardless of circumstances.
If you're feeling discouraged or unsure of yourself, give this episode a listen to discover how switching up your self-talk could be the game-changer you've been looking for.
I hope you walk away feeling motivated to embrace thoughts that strengthen your sense of agency and ability to handle whatever comes your way.

I know this work will help missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.
