The Luella Jonk Show

I love this episode for its turns and twists and how it unfolds. A past client, dubbed ‘Jay’, graciously offered to be interviewed so that he could describe his experience of moving through the betrayal by his partner.   As with most of the various times that hardship overcame us in life, now, when looking back, we can see the gift that tumultuous time also bestowed on us.    I hope this episode shows you that it is possible to move through an affair respectfully and honorably and the importance of seeking guidance while doing so.     Relevant Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/ https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://www.facebook.com/luellajonkemotionalhealth https://linktr.ee/luellajonk   This podcast provides general health information and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice.

I woke up one morning feeling happy, content, fulfilled, and at peace. This happens a lot. Not every day is a great day, but most days are. Why? Because I am nurturing my mind, body, and relationships every day. I try to practice a lot of self-awareness or mindfulness and learn what helps and hinders me. I change my thoughts, what some might call reframing, and life according to changes. And if I can’t find the answers within my self-reflections, I seek the answers elsewhere.   Ignorance drives fear, and education is invaluable. You can’t learn what you unlearned any more than you can’t unsee what you have seen. In this episode, I get very raw and vulnerable. I cry (unexpectedly) because I am human, and I want to be human.  Self-honesty is one of the keys to change; this podcast is all about change.   Offers mentioned in this episode:  2-Day Intensive In Person - Hotel: https://luellajonk.thrivecart.com/2-day-intensive-in-person-hotel/   2-Day Intensive In Person - Office: https://luellajonk.thrivecart.com/2-day-intensive-in-person-office/   2-Day Intensive Virtual: https://luellajonk.thrivecart.com/2-day-intensive-virtual/   Relevant Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/ https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://www.facebook.com/luellajonkemotionalhealth https://linktr.ee/luellajonk   This podcast provides general health information and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice.

I just had to get Elizabeth back on the show to bust more myths about weight gain, especially concerning aging. It all comes down to people making excuses or in other words, choosing REASONS over RESULTS. We can tell many stories about why you feel your body is different. You have unique tastes, preferences, and variances in DNA, but ultimately, that may account for 20% (at most) of the differences. So, where does the remaining 80% of your body composition stem from? Lifestyle choices, baby!  Elizabeth Resnick is a 57-year-old double-certified health coach and author who helps women of all ages lose weight so they can love their bodies AND their lives.     Happy Healthy and Hot is a unique blend of mindset, nutrition, and fitness that works. Women seek Elizabeth out to help them lose weight and end up gaining so much more: energy, confidence, and improved relationships.    Elizabeth has been featured on TV and on numerous podcasts. In 2020, at the age of 53, she was a finalist in the Maxim Cover Girl competition, competing with women in their twenties and thirties.     You can find Elizabeth on Instagram @happyhealthyandhot_elizabeth, on TikTok @happyhealthyandhot, and on Facebook as Elizabeth Diehl Resnick.     Relevant Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/ https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://www.facebook.com/luella.jonk.7 https://linktr.ee/luellajonk https://www.instagram.com/happyhealthyandhot_elizabeth/   This podcast provides general health information and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice.

In today’s solo episode, I do a fun take on all the things we should do if we want to sink the relation-SHIP. The best way to solve any disaster is prevention. Just like in health, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure; it is no different in relationships. In business, it is called reverse engineering. In medicine, it is called functional medicine. In psychology, it is called inversion thinking.   So, I will coin my own phrase related to relationship woes; “A drop in expectations is worth an ocean of happiness.” You would be much better off incorporating more goodwill and giving your partner a lot of grace. Because folks, we are only human.     Relevant Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/ https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://www.facebook.com/luella.jonk.7 https://linktr.ee/luellajonk   This podcast provides general health information and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice.

As someone who drinks a lot of decaf coffee, it is important to know I am only ingesting quality ingredients when I drink, especially my coffee. Drinking coffee is a ritual I want to continue doing, which is why I decided to seek out the truth.   Chad Polski is the owner of Blue Spruce Decaf Coffee Co., and his passion is roasting organic arabica, chemical-free decaf coffee. As a young Dad, working full time and doing ‘all the things’ Chad noticed his anxiety was peaking. He also realized that his caffeine consumption was contributing to his racing heart. This is where the world’s hunger for great-tasting decaf coffee and Chad’s passion connected to create a product that people were begging for…a clean, great-tasting chemical and mold-free decaffeinated coffee bean.   In this episode, we hit on all the nuances of producing a great decaf coffee and why the organic chemical-free decaffeination process of Swiss Water is so important.     Relevant Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/ https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://www.facebook.com/luella.jonk.7 https://linktr.ee/luellajonk https://bluesprucedecaf.com   This podcast provides general health information and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice.

As a special celebration of my 100th recording of I Think, I Can, I couldn’t think of a more suitable guest than Melanie. She truly embodied the idea of I think…Thus, I Can. Melanie has been my most powerful mentor to date regarding women’s emotional intelligence, business mindset, and setting powerful standards on placing value on Self. As a mentee of hers, I can honestly say she has changed my life in incredibly meaningful ways. I now pass this same knowledge on to my own clients, and so the ripple effect gets to continue! Woot! Woot!  Melanie Ann Layer is the founder of the Alpha Femme™ Brand. She is known for her unique approach to feminine leadership and wealth energetics. From humble beginnings, her journey has been one of evolution and growth. Since the creation of Alpha Femme in 2017, the brand has generated over $60 Million dollars, with over 2400% growth since the first million in 2018, consistent million and multimillion-dollar months since November 2020, and now celebrating million-dollar weeks and days! Melanie’s shift is a testament to her work that now serves women all around the globe! Her revolutionary teachings are taking the world by storm.   With no website, no viral YouTube channel, no world-renowned podcast or best-selling book, her unconventional approach to Exponential Wealth through organic social media growth has left many puzzled... and so many more excited and magnetized. She celebrates her clients who calibrate to 6 figures and millions every day, but beyond that, she celebrates their lives, evolution, sovereignty, and womanhood. Together with her clients, The Alpha Femme™ brand has raised multiple 6 figure contributions to causes close to Melanie’s heart. It isn’t possible to describe this woman accurately in a short biography. She is a mystery that pays to uncover.  Enjoy the show! PS: If you're enjoying the I Think, I Can Podcast, I would really appreciate it if you could leave a review on Apple Podcasts and/or Spotify. This helps me to spread the word and bring the show to new listeners! Thanks for doing it :)   Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/ https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://www.facebook.com/luella.jonk.7 https://www.instagram.com/alphafemme/

I am so excited to have John Gray back for a second time on my podcast! In today’s episode, I ask Dr. Gray to define the terms masculine and feminine energy and the importance of balancing these energy types between couples. I further inquired about his views on why marriages are not being maintained and divorce rates continue to soar. We also discuss what couples should concentrate on to build and maintain a closer connection.    John Gray is the author of the most well-known and trusted relationship book of all time, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus. USA Today listed his book as one of the top 10 most influential books of the last quarter-century. In hardcover, it was the #1 bestselling book of the 1990s. Dr. Gray’s books are translated into approximately 45 languages in more than 100 countries and continues to be a bestseller.   Dr. Gray has written over 20 books. His most recent book is Beyond Mars and Venus. His Mars/Venus book series has forever changed how men and women view their relationships.   Relisten to Episode #3 (linked below) to catch my earlier interview with Dr. Gray.    FREE GIFT For I Think, I Can Listeners: John’s course “How to Get Everything You Want in Relationships For Women, Men, Couples, and Singles”: https://marsvenus.com/gift    Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/ https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://www.facebook.com/luella.jonk.7 https://luellajonk.com/podcast/episode-3-john-gray/ Book - Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus: https://a.co/d/3oL1bJO https://linktr.ee/luellajonk   This podcast provides general health information and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice.

Conflict is inevitable in any relationship. In fact, if you don’t have conflict, I would question the integrity of the relationship. Conflict means passion and a zest for life. However, when couples experience conflict, they often feel they are failing or doing something wrong.  In this episode, I dissect the most common areas of communication breakdown and the analogies of what it takes to create success in your business to bring in some good examples of strong communication and leadership skills, not to mention the amount of hard work, passion, and tenacity of creating a successful business or career. For example, if you were to negotiate an increase in salary with your boss, would you be looking down at your phone? No! Then why would you do that during a bid for connection with your partner?  The many Cs necessary for nailing down communication include Curiosity, Collaboration, Connection, and Compromise. I also threw in compassion because we often need a good dose to rid ourselves of resentment and anger and help see another’s perspective.     Love the One You're With: https://luellajonk.thrivecart.com/love-the-one-youre-with/   Relevant Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/ https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://www.facebook.com/luella.jonk.7 https://linktr.ee/luellajonk   This podcast provides general health information and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice.

I had a great interview with Cassie Howard, a well-known intuitive business strategist and money mentor (Yes, please). In this podcast episode, you will get to know Cassie more on a personal level and not just another business coach.   What attracted me the most to Cassie is that she believes in you as a client; that is, you can be, do, and have anything you want and need right now, and you can experience it in your own way. She strongly advocates for work ethic, staying power, taking big, bold moves, and long-game focus alongside her many teachings on money, sales, and social media.   Cassie Howard is most known for her savvy sales skills and her ability to make business simple, fun, AND sustainable. Her approach to business and money has attracted women's attention worldwide in their own attempt to build the mind-blowing business of their dreams. What she teaches in her programs, masterclasses, and individual training is something that she embodies in her own company every day, a company that has generated over 8-figures cash in just a few short years. She enjoys breaking the rules and doing what others tell her she can't. Her unique way of doing business has changed the game in the coaching and mentoring space. Many of her clients have surpassed milestones and rapidly created shocking success. Cassie is a huge proponent of success on *your* terms.   ALSO! For those who love matcha but haven’t found a brand that they have fallen in love with, Cassie also felt similarly years ago and therefore sourced and created her own product line of Matcha.
