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.

What We Ask For

Most of us ask God for things to be fixed.
For relief. For someone to change.
For life to be easier or more predictable.

We rarely ask for wisdom or understanding, even though they shape how we live, no matter the circumstances.

Health, wealth, and status aren’t bad.
But without wisdom, even good things can become disordered.

Wisdom allows a person to think clearly, choose good over bad, and act with intention rather than impulse.

Without wisdom, responsibility often turns into anxiety, overthinking, and the need to control - often causing us to seek a diagnosis.

Perhaps wisdom isn’t what we ask for first because it asks more of us than comfort does.

We usually ask God for relief, stability, or for things to change. Rarely do we ask for wisdom or understanding, even though they shape how we live, regardless of the circumstances we’re given. Maybe wisdom comes last because it asks more of us than we’re comfortable admitting.

When I think of Adam and Eve, I don’t start with what went wrong.
I think of what came first: closeness, recognition, and not being alone.
Maybe that’s why their story still matters, especially when relationships begin to break.

The goal in a marriage is not a journey towards happiness; it is a journey towards purification and sanctification. Allow your spouse to make you into the saint you have always meant to be.

Love Is a Decision, Not a Feeling

Most men are not looking for perfection.
They are looking for peace.
A steady home.
A place where they can breathe.

At a men’s wellness gathering, I asked a simple question.
Who is married?
Divorced?
Widowed?
Single?
Different stories, but the same sense of guilt and shame carried by many men.

Many men feel they failed.
A marriage.
A dream.
A family they hoped would look different by now.
Others are still married but feel distant, discouraged, unsure how to repair what feels worn thin.

We often hear, “We grew apart.”
But compatibility is not something you find.
It is something you build.
Real compatibility is chiselled through shared responsibility, shared sacrifice, and shared history.

Marriage changes because people change.
You are not the same man at 30, 45, or 60.
Love matures when couples keep choosing each other, especially when life becomes heavy.

Feelings are real, but they are unstable.
They rise and fall with stress, fatigue, resentment, and fear.
Love, in its mature form, is an act of the will.
It is choosing the good of the other, even when it costs something.

To become steady, consistent, and present.
This is where marriage becomes vocational.
Not a lifestyle choice, but a calling.
To become steady, consistent and present.
A man’s leadership creates the structure of the home.

Even when things break, failure does not ensue.
Love is not something we wait to feel.
It is something we choose, again and again.

Love was never meant to be sustained by feelings alone. Feelings shift, but commitment forms character, steadiness, and peace over time. Marriage asks men and women to keep choosing each other, not because it is easy, but because it shapes who they become. Faithfulness is not about perfection; it is about showing up when it matters most.

What Makes a Good Family? A reflection on family life

When I think of a good family, the first word that comes to mind is peaceful.
A family where people feel comfortable being around one another.

Peace does not come from telling people how they should feel or behave.
It grows when people slow down and stop trying to control each other.

Peace grows when people listen more and talk less.
When we pause before responding instead of reacting right away.

Peace grows when we say sorry more often.
And when we respect our parents, even when they made mistakes.
Their job was to raise us, not to meet all of our emotional needs.

A peaceful family usually has some order.
Clean shared spaces.
Basic routines.
Everyone helping in some way.
This is not one person’s responsibility.

Respect matters in families.
When parents speak, children listen.
This teaches patience and self-control.
Freedom comes later.
Learning comes first.

Meals are important.
Sitting together.
Putting phones away.
Saying thank you for the food.
These habits build respect over time.

Parents, your children are not your possessions.
They belong to God.
You are doing your best, with limits.
When you feel overwhelmed, prayer and support matter.

Good families spend time together in simple ways.
Being outside.
Moving their bodies.
Going to worship.
Helping others when they can.
Peace grows through these ordinary habits.

Peace in families does not come from perfection. It comes from simple habits practiced again and again, with patience and humility. Good families are not perfect. They are patient, orderly, and respectful.

When your partner shuts down it often isn't about an argument.
It's about a moment that passed too quickly

Most communication breakdowns are quiet.
Nothing harsh is said, but the tone shifts, and the connection thins.

Often, one person moves ahead, assuming agreement while the other hesitates without fully speaking up.

The hesitation is easy to miss.
But when it's missed, silence can follow.

The issue is rarely the surface decision.
It's about meaning, timing, and whether someone felt seen.

We all carry quiet patterns from childhood about food, money, time, order, and waste.

Early on, these differences seem harmless.
Over time, they need care, or they begin to rub.

When a shutdown happens, rushing to fix it usually makes it worse.
Some people need time before they can reconnect.

Staying warm matters.
Cold silence met with cold silence only creates distance.

Many shutdowns can be avoided by slowing down.
Pausing long enough to let the other person lead.

This week’s blog post is not light or seasonal, but it is important.

As a therapist, I see this moment often… the quiet decision that something feels unsustainable.
Before concluding what is missing, it may be worth clarifying what the relationship is being asked to hold.

When Your Soul Feels Scattered

You know those days when nothing is “wrong,” yet you feel off inside?
Almost like your mind and heart are running in different directions.

Maybe you’re thinking too much, replaying conversations, or bracing for the next thing to go wrong.

Maybe you’re tired from holding everything together…
the house, the appointments, the emotions, the expectations.

That scattered feeling isn’t weakness.
It simply means your inner world has too many “centers.”

Fear becomes a center.
Responsibility becomes a center.
Old hurt becomes a center.
Even perfectionism becomes a center.

Prayer is the moment everything shifts.
Not dramatically, but gently.

When you pause, even for a breath, your thoughts settle and your emotions soften.

And slowly, God becomes the steady point your soul has been reaching for.

Life doesn’t get “easier,” but you feel grounded again.
From that place, everything becomes more manageable.

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.
