231. About Wasting Time


Listen Later

In Episode #231: About Wasting Time, I dive into one of the most common thoughts I hear from missionaries, returned missionaries, and even missionary moms — the fear that we're somehow "wasting time." Whether it's not being productive enough, not using P-day perfectly, or feeling like we should always be doing more, this mindset creates unnecessary stress, guilt, and disconnection from what really matters. In this episode, I explore where that pressure comes from, why it's so common, and how we can start seeing time through a more peaceful, purposeful lens.

I'll share my own story of struggling with "time guilt," how I learned to trust divine timing, and what it means to stop labeling time as wasted or productive. Together, we'll talk about how every season has a purpose, how to recognize your internal clock, and how to align with your own divine rhythm — whether you're serving a mission, transitioning home, or managing the busy pace of post-mission life.

If you've ever felt behind, lazy, or like you're not doing enough, this episode will help you breathe easier and reconnect with the truth that you're not behind — you're right on time.

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.
