Ep.71 Returning Home After a Mission- Why Life Feels Harder Than You Expected

from Here's The Thing: A Beginner's Guide to Adulting

Coming home from a mission is supposed to feel exciting—but for many returned missionaries, it can feel surprisingly lonely, confusing, and disorienting.In this episode, we explore why the transition home is often harder than expected. We talk about the unique loneliness of feeling changed but not fully understood, the challenge of maintaining the spiritual growth you experienced during missionary service, and the uncertainty that comes when a clear purpose is replaced by questions about school, work, relationships, and the future.Whether you've recently returned from a mission, are preparing to come home, or love someone who is navigating this transition, this episode offers perspective, encouragement, and practical hope. The goal isn't to go back to who you were before—it’s to carry what you've learned into who you're becoming next.Connect with me! Make sure to go follow me on Instagram or TikTok, @wendykimbercoaching.
