241. Flavors of Motivation
Friday, 30 January, 2026
Here on The LDS Mission Podcast, Ep. 241 - Flavors of Motivation, is all about changing the way we think about motivation—especially when it feels like it's "on" one day and completely gone the next. I share why motivation isn't actually black-and-white, and how judging yourself for feeling unmotivated usually makes everything heavier. Instead, I teach a simple framework that helps you identify your unique "flavor of motivation," so you can create forward momentum in a way that actually works for your brain, your personality, and your mission experience. In this episode, I break down six different motivation styles: the strategist, the visionary, the builder, the provider, the refiner, and the observer. We talk about what each one looks like, what it's good at, what can trip it up (hello, perfectionism, overthinking, rigidity, comparison, burnout, or shutting down), and how to use your motivation flavor to get unstuck—whether you're preparing for a mission, trying to meet goals while currently serving, rebuilding after your mission, or supporting a missionary as a mom. I also share a simple fill-in-the-blank prompt you can use to quickly pinpoint what motivates you: "I'd be down to do this if…" If you've been feeling stuck, heavy, or like you "should" be more motivated, The LDS Mission Podcast Episode 241: Flavors of Motivation will help you understand what makes you tick, motivate yourself with more compassion, and even better understand what might motivate your companion, your district, or the people you're teaching. 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.
