The Luella Jonk Show
Dr. Luella Jonk, PhD
From the therapy room of a registered psychotherapist, dating coach and solopreneur who has tirelessly attempted a 'healthy' work-life balance for 25 years, it rarely existed for me and likely does not for most business owners, entrepreneurs and executives. The truth is relationships can really suffer. I will be interviewing expert guests who are doing things right so we can all learn to mix business with pleasure. Topics will range from building better relationships, connection, dating, and how to spread more kindness and compassion towards others while doing so. Listeners, you have the right to have passion surrounding your work while maintaining passionate relationships. You can have your cake and eat it too. New episodes premiere every Tuesday.

There is Light That Penetrates Through the Darkness: How to Free Yourself from a Narcissistic Relationship with Sarah Pacaro
It was such a pleasure to host Sarah Pacaro as she described her journey through a narcissistic abusive relationship. Sarah took her pain and made it her passion to help others on their journeys. No one person has the same relationship dynamics as another. We can never paint everyone with the same brush; however, through sharing her story, Sarah is helping so many other women break through their personal patterned beliefs of unworthiness, guilt, shame, standards, etc. These beliefs ultimately keep many stuck in relationships that do not serve them or their families. Sarah has worked in the transformational industry for many years, providing her clients with rapid, powerful breakthroughs by guiding them to deep connections with their internal & unconscious beliefs to provide restoration and transformation in every area of their lives.

Conversations About Sleep and Constipation with Beth Claxton, MD, IFMCP
I first met Dr. Claxton when I began my journey into functional medicine nearly 4 years ago. Beth is an MD, certified in OB/GYN. Beth grew to love functional medicine just as I have and has used it extensively in her practice to help women specifically with hormone imbalance as it relates to perimenopause, menopause, sleep disturbances, and constipation. Beth Claxton sees herself as a human on a journey. Her degree as a Medical Doctor and board certification as an OB/Gyn marked her path. Her curiosity led her to become a teacher of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and an Ayurvedic Yoga Health Coach. Most recently Beth became certified in Functional Medicine which felt like completing the circle to her undergraduate degree in Biochemistry. She has two daughters who are beginning their paths to finding their own gifts to the world. Northern Arizona is where Beth currently calls home.

Why Practicing Collaborative Family Law is like Preventative Medicine for a Healthy Divorce with Kathleen McLean
Today I had the pleasure of spending an hour with Kathleen McLean, a family law lawyer with Evans Family Law Practice in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. In this discussion, we spoke about the Canadian court system in terms of what to expect when moving through a divorce, as well as many other topics, such as preventing high-conflict divorce, parent alienation, the possible misuse of protection orders, and much more. Most importantly, we spoke of how utilization of collaborative family law is most certainly the best way of entering what many consider one of the topmost stressful periods in anyone’s lifetime.

Developing Intuitive Eating as an Act of Self-Love With Registered Dietician Shelise Irby
Today we cover the importance of awareness surrounding food sensitivities, choices best for you, making food preparation fun, and having a supportive partner beside you to make this all possible. Shelise Irby graduated from U.C. Davis as a Registered Dietitian and provides functional nutrition consulting at Body Love Cafe. Her in-depth knowledge of whole food healing combined with her medically focused education provides her with a unique perspective on preventative health. She is passionate about health for the whole family and loves working with couples, moms, children, and teens. From a young age, Shelise suffered from many unidentified food and environmental allergies. She was eventually able to get the help she needed through supplements, herbs, dietary changes, and homeopathy. Experiencing firsthand the life-changing benefits of balancing her nutrition and learning what foods to avoid for maintaining her health, Shelise decided that method was something she wanted to help others learn as well. She has worked in private practice doing functional nutrition consulting, supporting dietary changes and detox in her patients, for more than 10 years. As you would expect from a dietitian, Shelise loves to cook and spends much of her time in the kitchen creating healthy meals and baking with gluten-free ingredients.

How Business, Wealth, and Relationships Interweave with Kim Kaase
This conversation is one that will bring many women a sense of ease and reassurance that life gets to be different. We don’t need to struggle through relationships, careers, families, and this idea of balance. Relationships and work get to be better, and it all starts with a deep sense of knowing and trust in ourselves. Trust in themselves and in the Devine. Like most women, Kim began leading her life mainly with her mind and not with her body. Using your intuition was a foreign topic to her as it is with most women starting off their lives. In this conversation we discuss how the pendulum of women’s movement and presence as a mother, wife, and earner has swung from little presence to too much presence, leaving most women to burnout and disassociated from what it means to be a woman.
