258. When You Feel Walked On

Episode 258: When You Feel Walked On is for missionaries, returned missionaries, missionary moms, and anyone who has ever felt exhausted, resentful, or quietly taken advantage of from always being the one who says yes. In this episode, I share a conversation I had with a missionary who asked me a powerful question: "What do you do when you feel like people are walking on you?" We talk about overgiving, people pleasing, resentment, emotional boundaries, Christlike service, and how to know when it might be time to stop giving from depletion and start giving from fullness. I share practical mindset tools to help you rethink overgiving, including how to tell when resentment is quietly building, why we often tie our worth to helping others, and the two questions that can completely change the way you make decisions: Do I actually want to do this? and Do I have the capacity to do this? We also talk about emotional energy, setting healthy boundaries on the mission and after the mission, vulnerability, people pleasing, discernment, and why not everyone gets full access to your "Peter Parker" side. If you have ever struggled with saying no, felt emotionally drained from always showing up, or wondered how to balance Christlike love with healthy boundaries, Episode 258: When You Feel Walked On will give you practical tools, perspective shifts, and permission to start giving from overflow instead of depletion. 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.   00:00 – Intro & Mission Prep Plus 03:15 – Feeling Walked On 07:15 – Signs You're Overgiving 09:00 – Why We Do This 10:35 – Giving From Overflow 12:30 – Two Questions To Ask 15:00 – The Spider Man Analogy 18:40 – Practicing Discernment 19:40 – Practical Shifts 21:45 – Slow Down The Yes 24:00 – Stop Giving Full Access 25:05 – Shifting Your Identity 28:05 – Final Thoughts   Website | Instagram | Facebook   5 Ways to Process Any Less-Than Happy Mission Memories Article: HERE   Get the Full Show Notes and Text/PDF Transcripts: HERE   Free PDF Download:  Podcast Roadmap   Free PDF Download:  Preparing Missionary Cheat Sheet   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
