In this podcast episode, have a heart-to-heart with Erika, a guest who stumbled upon me through a missionary mom's Facebook group and decided to join my coaching program. Erika opens up about the rollercoaster of emotions she went through when her eldest son embarked on his mission to Brazil. She candidly shares her astonishment at the sparse communication of her son's challenging encounters with cultural clashes and a mission president who seemed more preoccupied with quotas than spiritual nourishment. Erika confesses that she had braced herself for a continual spiritual euphoria and found it hard to accept the stark reality of her son's mission life. She explains how my program helped her learn to step back and encourage her children to navigate challenges, temper her expectations, and distinguish between burned toast and the house burning down. Erika also highlights the incredible value of the supportive community she found and the vital insights she gained for when her next son would set out on his mission.
