149. When You Don't Feel Heard

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! 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 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.   Website | Instagram | Facebook   Get the Full Show Notes HERE   Free PDF Download:  Preparing Missionary Cheat Sheet   My Free Training for Preparing Missionaries:  Change Your Mission with this One Tool   RM Transition Free Video Series:  3 Tools to Help RMs in Their Transition Home   Free Guide:  5 Tips to Help Any Returning Missionary   Schedule a Free Strategy Call:   Click Here
