Luella Jonk Consulting

Self-Awareness Coach | Podcaster | Gottman Therapist | Angel Investor. I am in the business of helping people attain their visions.

I approach therapy not as simply a “one-hour a week” time together. I hope to be present with you in spirit, in your everyday lives, helping you to be reminded of the strategies we may have discussed and offer you the support you need when you are most in need of it. I want you to know that you are not alone in your struggles - whether these struggles stem from anxiety, grief, loss of identity and self-worth, or struggling to find meaning in life. I have a special interest in working with young adolescents and young adults. I specialize in helping those suffering from social anxiety, trauma, and self-confidence. I have helped numerous clients become liberated from guilt and shame associated with previous or present behaviours. Along with specialities in treatment of trauma, anxiety and regaining self-worth, I am especially sensitive to First Nation issues. As a speech therapist and counsellor, I have worked with numerous immigrants within a multi-cultural hub. I am sensitive to the trauma and shame which First Nations peoples have endured, having visited over 15 First Nation communities and spending time immersed in their culture.

A wife may long for words, gestures, and visible signs. A husband may offer love simply by remaining nearby, steady, and quiet. Both are true. Both are needed. Respect the individual’s way of showing love. Don’t try to make it your way.

In a culture that treats love like a feeling and marriage like a contract, the Church reminds us of something deeper.

Your marriage is more than two people making it work—it’s a sacred partnership that reflects how God loves: patiently, faithfully, and without giving up.

📖 Gaudium et Spes, a powerful teaching from Vatican II, says your family is a “domestic church.” That means your home is a place where God is present—especially when you choose love in the hard moments.

You don’t need to have a perfect relationship to have a holy one.

Every time you forgive, show up, speak gently, or start again—you’re building something eternal. Marriage isn’t about never falling; it’s about never walking away without trying again with grace.

🕊️ If you’re in a hard season, this is your reminder:
You’re not alone.
God is with you.
And staying is holy.

Love is not merely a feeling; it is a choice and a decision.

Do you decide to love this person today, despite their imperfections?
Do they deserve compassion, or are you trying to ‘teach them a lesson’?

Your decision to love doesn’t mean you didn’t experience pain or that there was no cost involved. It means you suffered, but you still chose to love anyway.

08/25/2025

Is your marriage tired, distant, or off-balance?
You may not be failing each other.
You may just be living out of order.

Disorder shows up in quiet ways:
Two people in one house,
living parallel lives.
Making decisions alone. Prioritizing work, not each other.

You chase promotions.
You chase balance.
You chase productivity.
But deep down, you’re exhausted and disconnected.

When love loses its rhythm,
marriage turns into a business transaction.
Who paid the bills?
Who’s doing the bedtime routine?
Who’s “pulling their weight”?

But your marriage isn’t a business.
It’s a covenant.
Built on love, sacrifice, and divine order.
A reflection of Christ and the Church.

One day, your tombstone won’t list your CV,
bank balance, or fitness goals.
It will speak through your relationships:
Who you loved, how you gave, what you left behind.

Order isn’t about control.
It’s about alignment.
A husband leading in love.
A wife nurturing with strength.
Two lives, joined in purpose—pointed toward Heaven.

Peace returns when we return to the design.
To God's rhythm.
Because when marriage reflects His order,
it becomes a place of rest—not resentment.

08/18/2025

Your marriage isn’t broken—it’s just disoriented.
We’re chasing goals that won’t be written on our tombstones,
and neglecting the roles that will echo into eternity.

We often discuss forgiveness in marriage, but most of us still treat it as a feeling rather than what it truly is: a transaction.

When someone sincerely asks for forgiveness and you grant it, that moment is sealed. Done. You don’t get to reopen the case when you're having a bad day. That’s not forgiveness. That’s keeping score.

If you're still using the past as a weapon, pause. Ask yourself:
Did I actually forgive?
Or do I need God’s help to do it for real?

This isn’t about pretending nothing happened. It’s about choosing love over leverage. Choosing grace over grudge. And remembering how Jesus forgave you—entirely, freely, and forever.

“As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” —Psalm 103:12

Tag someone who needs this reminder today—or save it for the moment when forgiveness feels hardest.

08/04/2025

Forgiveness isn’t something you “feel.” It’s something you do—and you don’t take it back.

If you’ve forgiven your spouse, stop reaching for old wounds. Grace has no rewind button.

You said you forgave them. That means it’s off the table—even on your worst day. Real forgiveness has no expiry date.

What does this mean exactly?

In 1968, in his Encyclical Letter, Pope Paul VI addressed human life and expressed his concerns about contraception.

In simple terms, he warned about how separating s*x from babies would instill a culture of s*x as recreation rather than responsibility. He saw how women's dignity would be ruined as they became objectified and used as a means to an end. He forecasted a 'culture of use' - what's in it for me? Rather than 'what can I do for you?'. A culture that lacks discipline.

How does this play out in the couples I see? Let me give you some examples:

Couple 1: Jason and Claire are dating. They both use contraception, so they feel “safe.” But something shifts. Jason begins to see s*x as casual. He’s less invested emotionally. Claire starts to feel used, but can’t explain why.
→ They’ve separated pleasure from purpose, and something deeply human is lost.

Couple 2: David and Sarah, who are engaged and practicing chastity, struggle with temptation, but they also grow in communication, tenderness, and mutual sacrifice.

They are learning to see each other fully, not as objects but as gifts.

Couple 3: Catholic newlyweds:
Sarah and Daniel
They want to honour the Church’s teaching on openness to life, but they’re scared.
They worry about finances, about sleepless nights, about how their marriage will change.

They read blogs that mock NFP. Their friends will likely feel they have 'lost it' if they decide to try NFP.

They wonder: Is this really what God wants?

Then they hear these words: This isn’t a Church rule, but instead it’s God’s invitation to trust.
Their fear doesn’t go away instantly, but they start praying about it. They read up on fertility awareness. They meet another couple living this way.

And slowly, they begin to feel differently, not just the burden, but the beauty. They’re building a life that is radically open, radically trusting, and radically holy.

07/21/2025

You’re not broken, just out of step with the sacred order that brings peace to your body, your home, and your heart.

Marriage According to St. Paul
Not married, but he understood the covenant better than most.

“When I am weak, then I am strong.”
→ Real strength in marriage isn’t control.
It’s being willing to say, “I need you.”

“Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
→ Endurance is not passivity.
It’s love showing up when it’s least convenient.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
→ Faithfulness isn’t just about staying married.
It’s about growing in holines —together.

Paul was a warrior. So are you.
Every time you forgive, open up, or stay.
You fight for love.

To the couples still running, still rising, still trying—
Heaven sees you.
The finish line matters.

💡 Save this for when love feels hard.
💬 Share it with someone who’s still running the race.

07/07/2025

He never wore a ring, but St. Paul knew the covenant.
He bled for truth, endured for love, and finished faithful.
“When I am weak, then I am strong.”
In marriage, that’s not failure, it’s the hidden power of being vulnerable.

06/30/2025

I recorded an episode one day about our Blessed Mother Mary and why we often struggle to achieve the harmonious roles we try to take on in marriage.
Eve grasped for control. Adam stayed silent. The family order unravelled.
Then came Mary.
She didn’t grasp. She trusted.
She didn’t control. She believed.
She didn’t mother her husband. She honoured him.
Women today are being pulled in every direction. We’re told to do it all—lead, nurture, provide, plan. And in the chaos, we often lose sight of the wisdom Mary offers.
Mother your children.
But don’t mother your husband.
Let go of the need to micromanage his every move. Don’t guilt him into changing. Don’t resent him into submission. Instead, love him into leadership.
Your peace has power.
Your grace has influence.
And your trust can restore order.
Be like Mary.
Quiet, steady, strong.

Making Lemonade Out of Lemons

You might be going through a period right now where you are constantly asking yourself “ Why me?” or “ What happened to my marriage? “ or “ I have failed being a parent” or “ I am actually stupid, ugly, etc.” and so on and so forth. Well, first of all, you are not alone, and secondly, it is NOT normal to feel this way. You should and deserve to be happy and I am confident I can bring you there once again. Really, I can. Do you remember when you were just a kid having fun? Dipping in and out of reality where the world was a great place of opportunity and wonder. The world hasn’t changed. You have. Your approach towards life has changed.

When you work with me we go towards the root reason and cause of this lack of zest in life, this feeling of hopelessness and helplessness. We go through your timeline and I listen to your story, and I retell your story back to you to make sure I understand you.

No one knows you as well as you do. Respect your health enough to make the changes you need to make now. The way you feel and think affects your health way beyond your mood. It affects your overall immunity. Don’t wait for someone else to change in your life because they won’t. It all starts with you.

Let’s make some lemonade together. I assure you - it will turn out to be profitable in a way you could have never imagined. Please go to my website to see my specialities. You don’t need to do this on your own any longer.
