Have you ever found yourself on a call with your missionary and hit an awkward lull in the conversation? Maybe they’re giving one-word answers, or they just want to sit in silence. It can be frustrating, but it doesn’t have to be!
In this episode, I’m sharing strategies to help your missionary (or any of your kids) open up and talk—while also helping you listen better. We’ll explore:
✔️ Why some missionaries seem chatty while others hold back
✔️ The role of nervous system regulation in meaningful conversations
✔️ How to prepare yourself emotionally before a call
✔️ Open-ended questions that invite deeper discussion
✔️ The power of reflective listening and creating a safe space
Plus, I’ll share insights from communication experts like The Lost Art of Listening by Michael P. Nichols and We Need to Talk by Celeste Headlee, along with real-life examples from my own experience as a missionary mom.
No matter how your missionary communicates, your presence and support matter. Tune in for practical tools to keep your calls feeling connected, supportive, and meaningful!
If you found this episode helpful, share it with another missionary mom who might need it. And as always, take care of yourself so you can show up with love and patience for your missionary. 💙
