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.

So much of our modern understanding of depression and anxiety stops at “chemical imbalance.” But I can’t help but ask—where did the imbalance begin? Perhaps in wounds too deep for science to measure: trauma, loss, shame, or even grief absorbed before birth.

From a faith perspective, our sorrow often reflects a perceived separation from God. Whether the source is external (loss, trauma, disease) or internal (sin, guilt), the ache remains—a soul longing to be reunited with its Creator.

Science can explain the mechanics of life and love, but it cannot measure mystery. Marriage, life itself, and grace are all gifts that point us back to God.

If you are suffering right now, especially for a spouse or child, take comfort. Your suffering is not wasted. It’s a sign you are sharing in Christ’s suffering—a sign of His love for you. He loves you most deeply when you feel most abandoned.

“Don’t be afraid,” He says. And He means it.

A rose blooms through its thorns.
So too does the soul, when it offers its pain to Christ.
Every wound becomes an opening for grace.

Marriage: Finishing the Race with St. Paul’s Courage

St. Paul’s words to Timothy reveal a powerful image for married life—a race that begins with excitement, encounters exhaustion, and, by grace, ends in glory.
Marriage starts with a burst of hope. The vows, the honeymoon, the laughter echoing in a new home—all feel like the thrilling start of a race. We run hard in the early miles, filled with dreams and adrenaline.

But then come the middle miles—often around year 12 or 15—when we “hit the wall.” The novelty wears off. Fatigue settles in. Some feel alone, unappreciated, even rejected. We begin to ask ourselves, Why did I sign up for this? That’s not failure. That’s the race.

Paul doesn’t boast about winning. He simply says, “I finished.” He poured himself out like a libation—an image of total self-gift. So too in marriage, we are called not to fill ourselves with fleeting pleasures, but to empty ourselves for the good of the other.

And when we do…when we keep running, keep forgiving, keep showing up…something shifts. The grace of endurance often reveals itself after the kids are grown, or in the quiet of retirement. The long miles behind you begin to make sense. It was worth it.

Marriage, like faith, isn’t about perfection. It’s about perseverance. Fighting the good fight. Finishing the race. Keeping the faith.
And in the end, what we gave—our time, our patience, our sacrifices—is what we take with us into eternal life.

When you're suffering and feel alone, remember that God's love for you is rooted in your suffering. Don’t let your suffering go to waste—offer it to Him. It brings Him closer to you. No one understands suffering like God does, as He has experienced it for us.

Daily Practices for Nurturing a Silent Connection Between Spouses

Morning Stillness: Take 1–2 minutes after waking to simply be still together. Avoid talking; just breathe and start your day grounded in presence.

Silent Grace: Before meals, take a moment to share gratitude in silence rather than jumping into conversation.

Silent Prayer Offering: Instead of filling silence with small talk, whisper a silent prayer to God:
Lord, let my love be enough even without words today.

Presence at Bedtime: Even when tired or distracted, conclude your day by sitting in silent closeness with each other—holding hands or merely touching toes beneath the blanket.

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.

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.
