249. You Can't Go Back to Your Comfort Zone
Friday, 27 March, 2026
Here on The LDS Mission Podcast, Episode 249 - You Can't Go Back to Your Comfort Zone, we talk about why the "comfort zone" your brain wants to return to doesn't actually exist—and what to do instead. Whether you're a preparing missionary, currently serving, a returned missionary, or a missionary mama, it's so normal to find yourself thinking, "I just want things to feel like they used to." But the truth is, life only moves forward, and the version of you (and your circumstances) from the past have already changed. In this episode, I break down why your brain craves familiarity, how it attaches feelings like safety, belonging, and happiness to people and places, and why that can keep you feeling stuck. We talk about how those feelings were never actually created by a person, place, or situation—but by your thoughts—and what that means for your ability to create those feelings again moving forward. I share powerful mindset shifts to help you navigate discomfort, identity shifts, breakups, and mission challenges, and how to stop trying to "go back" and instead step into growth. You'll also learn practical tools like giving discomfort a purpose, anchoring confidence in your capability (not outcomes), and untangling your emotions from external circumstances. Most importantly, I teach you how to become your own comfort zone—so you can feel steady, confident, and grounded no matter where you are or what's happening around you. This is one of the most empowering skills you can develop on your mission and in your post-mission life. If you've been wishing things could go back to how they were, this episode will help you see why that's not the goal—and how moving forward with trust in yourself is where your real power lies. Here on The LDS Mission Podcast, Episode 249 - You Can't Go Back to Your Comfort Zone, we learn how to stop looking backward and start becoming the kind of person who can feel at home anywhere. 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.
