Missionary Life
A podcast about how helpers can thrive in their mission. Whether you are a missionary living overseas, in ministry, or a missional mother, this podcast will offer practical tools on how to remain spiritually, emotionally, and physically healthy while living missionally. The missionary life is lonely and full of loss, trauma, heartbreak, disappointment, and life not turning out how we expected. I want you to be able to heal from these experiences and build resilience. Learn to prevent and heal trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout in in-depth interviews with mental health professionals and other missionaries. I will bring my many years of experience in missions and wisdom to the table to help you live your life on purpose while thriving at the same time. A must-listen for all missionaries and those who support them.
I would love to hear from you and answer your questions! Please leave me a voicemail with your question or feedback and I may choose it to be answered on air! https://www.speakpipe.com/MissionaryLife
