Hey everyone, Jennie here with episode 149 of the LDS Mission Podcast.

In this episode we discuss the importance of feeling heard and valued, both on your mission and in other situations. I talk about how feeling unheard can lead to a lack of agency and feelings of isolation.

But there are respectful ways to advocate for yourself and have a voice without being confrontational. I also share insights on understanding where others are coming from and creating safety, vision, and love within yourself first before relying on others.

Be sure to listen to learn how to navigate challenging relationships while still staying true to yourself. I hope these discussions are helpful as you serve your mission or support someone who is. Thanks for tuning in!

Hey everyone, Jennie here with the latest episode of the LDS Mission Podcast. On this week's episode, I wanted to discuss the importance of viewing our emotions in a positive light. Rather than labeling feelings as "good" or "bad", I encourage listeners to think of emotions as helpful signals that can guide us.

I share several analogies, such as comparing emotions to smoke detectors, that are meant to keep us safe rather than trigger shame. Tune in to learn how emotions can reveal what matters to us, show us what's possible, and even spur us to positive action.

My hope is that reframing how we think about feelings will help all missionaries to navigate their experiences with more confidence and self-compassion. I'll be sharing some of my favorite tools and strategies, so don't miss out on this insightful discussion!

Hey everyone, today's episode I talk on finding the process that works best for you. I talked about how we're all so uniquely different and how important it is to figure out what fills your own personal energy tank.

Some key things I discussed were the importance of asking yourself what you need in each moment and making sure your processes energize you rather than deplete you.

I want to encourag listeners to believe in their own unique way of doing things and reminded missionaries and leaders not to make assumptions but to communicate directly about needs. I hope you each discover what fuels you and allows you to make the biggest impact in your own way.
