The Luella Jonk Show

A topic that many folks talk about, but few truly understand. It sounds so simple. We hear it from our parents, teachers, partners, and friends—believe in yourself. Yet it seems so difficult to do so. Why is it so difficult? In today’s episode, I speak about how feeling self-confidence is different from believing in yourself, why it is often so difficult to believe in ourselves, and the secret sauce that is necessary to believe in yourself in order to manifest what you desire. Get excited. Let’s go!   If you enjoy the I Think, I Can Podcast, I’d love for you to subscribe, rate, and give a review on Apple Podcasts.

In this solo episode, I discuss what staying power means when it comes to maintaining a relationship. One might substitute the word resiliency, but I personally feel it means something different. I am speaking towards finding the power from within, tapping into the true concept of self, and not using the judgment of yourself or others in order to stay true to your goal.  Enjoy the show.

Nancy Schwartz is the Founder and Transformational Strategist of Envision Healthy Retirement. After spending her career in corporate leadership roles, she decided she wanted to do life differently, and subsequently founded the successful retained search company, SearchExecution. Nancy’s innovative and solution-oriented approach to solving complex issues is what has earned her high praise and recognition to date. Interestingly, Nancy is a classically trained ballerina who has worked for nationally known ballet and modern companies. Nancy has thus used her skills in nuanced movement, discipline, artistry, and the importance of balance. In summary, why I invited Nancy to the podcast is because she is such an advocate for personal growth and enrichment, and has done the work to create more tools in her toolbox to help women transform, including certifications from Tiny Habits®, Retirement Options, HeartMath, and the Health Coach Institute, to name a few.   Relevant Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/core-offer/?fbclid=IwAR1b9cd-AX8i-YPdmJEdO23eXURW774ca9yA3A2fFhIgPE4XWIhIq8N6NRA https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancy-schwartz-9b45634/ https://envisionhealthyretirement.com/  

I had the pleasure of welcoming back Dr. Felice Gersh, a multi-award-winning physician with dual board certifications in OB-GYN and Integrative Medicine. She is the founder and director of the Integrative Medical Group of Irvine, based in California, USA. Dr. Gersh is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to understanding women’s physiology. She doesn’t treat women’s health with a silo mentality, but instead as an intricate system of organs. She understands that the body has an amazing method of self-healing and repair when we simply use the right tools.   In this podcast episode, we review common symptoms of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and how it takes two out of the three criteria to provide a clear diagnosis, how taking contraceptives can complicate diagnosis, and the considerations a woman needs to be aware of if considering pregnancy. We also summarize a few of the seven steps outlined in Dr. Gersh’s books, PCOS SOS and the PCOS SOS Fertility Fast Track. Also, just a reminder, her latest book Menopause: 50 Things You Need to Know, is now available on Amazon.    Relevant Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/core-offer/?fbclid=IwAR1b9cd-AX8i-YPdmJEdO23eXURW774ca9yA3A2fFhIgPE4XWIhIq8N6NRA https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXOqxxLnT_j5N-30ii6JgQw https://integrativemgi.com/about/ https://twitter.com/DrFeliceGersh https://www.instagram.com/dr.felicegersh/ https://www.facebook.com/felicegershmd/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrbn9RUdGuc6Wq-FT7V4u3g https://www.amazon.com/Menopause-Things-Expect-During-Stages/dp/1638070962  

In today’s episode, I explain how the notion of unworthiness or not being enough can have a profound impact on your romantic relationship. In my series on Improving your relationship by improving yourself, I describe how being self-judgemental falls under the ‘perfectionist’ personality type.   As a perfectionist, you not only torment yourself on a daily basis to the point of mental exhaustion, but you are also judging your partner. You find yourself living in constant fear of making a mistake, yet making a mistake is a human quality, state, or essence. Life is not black or white, we are constantly living in a spectrum of good and bad…we have joy, then we have sadness, we have energy and then we have fatigue, we say intelligent words, then we say words we regret. Life is full of a lot of grey.   The solution is in the power of awareness. To find out more about how to create a habit of thought awareness, sit back and listen.   Be sure to check out the catalog of video episodes on the Luella Jonk YouTube channel, and if you enjoy them, please like, share, and subscribe.

When it comes to why couples struggle to maintain or establish a relationship, procrastination is not normally the first thing that comes to mind. However, it can be an underlying cause to why couples are having difficulty in achieving the kind of relationship they have longed to achieve with their partner.   In this episode, I discuss the true reason why people procrastinate (and it has nothing to do with laziness or not caring). I also suggest a laddered approach to overcoming procrastination and what your partner could do to help you to overcome your challenges. Lastly, I touch on the limiting beliefs of yourself that might be keeping you at a level of mediocracy rather than overwhelming joy.  Be sure to check out the catalog of video episodes on the Luella Jonk YouTube channel, and if you enjoy them, please like, share, and subscribe.

In today’s episode, I describe my personal approach to creating a better, more connective, more fulfilling relationship in a way that guarantees your own personal success by rebuilding a new version of yourself. Whether or not your partner will grow with you is unknown at this time. However, if you are ready to step up to the plate and guarantee your own happiness in life, by use of this proven method, this episode is for you. It explains how I help women rid their old debilitating versions of themselves and replace it with the true, authentic, and genuine versions of themselves which I call the "new concept of self". I speak about how the unhealthy version came about, what I do to get rid of it, and why the program allows you to actually make the change happen.    Enjoy the show!  Be sure to check out the catalog of video episodes on the Luella Jonk YouTube channel, and if you enjoy them, please like, share, and subscribe.
