Episode 239 – Six Super Skills is all about the mindset and emotional tools that help missionaries (and humans) keep going when things feel hard. This episode was inspired by a powerful coaching session and a simple question: What skills do superheroes use that actually help them win in the end? Whether you're preparing to serve, currently serving, recently returned, or a missionary mom supporting from home, these six "super skills" apply directly to mission life, post-mission transitions, and everyday challenges.

In this episode, I walk through six essential skills: moving forward instead of getting stuck in the past, adapting to constant change, supporting others without drowning yourself, holding onto dreams with patience, embracing discomfort as growth, and practicing humility. We look at real missionary examples—transfers, companions, post-mission letdown, dating, careers—and connect them to how emotional resilience, confidence, and agency are built over time. Growth doesn't require superhuman effort; it requires consistency, self-trust, and willingness to feel uncomfortable.

I also share a powerful reminder from Elder Uchtdorf that growth happens gradually, patiently, and consistently—and that Jesus Christ already did the superhuman part. If you're feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, or unsure of yourself, Episode 239 – Six Super Skills is here to help you reconnect with your inner strength, develop emotional maturity, and remember that you already have what it takes to keep moving forward.

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.
