17: Uncertainty

LDS Missionary Moms

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. Tune in and let's embark on this journey together!
