Life as a missionary mom can feel overwhelming—balancing emotions, family, and the ever-present “what ifs.” In this episode, we dive into understanding and managing your nervous system, starting with mapping where you are emotionally and physically.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How your nervous system operates and why it can’t tell the difference between burned toast and the house burning down.
• The importance of identifying your emotional “you are here” point and understanding your body’s cues.
• Simple questions to ask yourself daily to increase self-awareness and emotional regulation.
• How becoming grounded helps you show up better for your missionary, family, and yourself.
• Why observing emotions—yours and others’—is key to managing relationships and supporting growth.

Whether your missionary is thriving or struggling, understanding your nervous system equips you to offer calm, steady support without internalizing their challenges. Growth is messy, but with awareness and grace, you can navigate the chaos with confidence.

Mentioned in This Episode:

• Tips for staying grounded before a call with your missionary.
• Recognizing and respecting your missionary’s emotions without jumping in to fix them.
• Why it’s okay—and helpful—to allow struggle as part of growth.

Take a moment today to pause, breathe, and ask: Where am I emotionally, and how do I feel in my body? Small steps like these make all the difference.
