In this episode I discuss how striving to maintain balance between your work and personal life at any given time is essentially impossible. Instead, you need to see these two entities as being in a constant flux, and you need to respect that our world is constantly changing.

There will be times where you are required more in one area of your life than another.

It becomes easier when you realize there is no such thing as good or bad, right or wrong. Nothing is so black and white regarding individual personalities, values, and beliefs.

What always does work, however, is when you simplify the situation using a feeling state called ‘compassion’. If you incorporate compassion into the golden rule, everyone wins in business and in life.

Episode #40: Feelings Matter, Overthinking Doesn’t 40:15

منذ يوم واحد40:15

40:15

In this episode, I'm challenging our culture's obsession with emotional analysis that might actually be keeping you stuck. While understanding our feelings is important, I explain why constantly dwelling on emotions can transform what should be a passing breeze into a destructive storm. I'll walk you through: ✅ Why therapy and self-help books are valuable—but not always the complete answer ✅ How to recognize when you're trapped in an "endless loop of self-examination" ✅ The importance of managing emotions rather than just feeling them ✅ Why thinking less about yourself and more about others can be transformative ✅ Practical ways to get off the "hamster wheel" of anxiety and overthinking Whether you're struggling with relationship conflicts, perpetual problems with your partner, or just finding yourself stuck in your own head, this episode offers a perspective that might be exactly what you need to move forward. Sometimes the path to happiness isn't through more analysis—it's through action and shifting your focus. 🔔 Remember: While I encourage you to "get over yourself" in the kindest way possible, consistent therapy can be life-changing when you're truly stuck. Build that relationship with your therapist, be communicative about your needs, and create the consistency that leads to real change.…

Episode #39: What Sex Really Means in Marriage 39:26

منذ 8 أيام39:26

39:26

In this episode, we're diving deep into a perspective on marital intimacy that's often misunderstood or completely overlooked in our modern culture—sex as a sacred, spiritual connection between husband and wife. I'm challenging the transactional view of intimacy that has created so much tension and obligation in marriages today. What if the struggles around frequency, desire, and obligation aren't just problems—but invitations? Invitations to discover a more beautiful understanding of what sex was truly designed to be in marriage: the physical expression of your covenant bond. I'll walk you through: ✅ Why viewing sex as an obligation or "need" destroys the beauty of intimacy ✅ The biblical understanding of "two becoming one flesh" and what that really means ✅ How cultural misconceptions about sex have damaged our marriages without us realizing ✅ Why respect, not desire, is the true foundation of a healthy sexual relationship ✅ The practical ways to move from transactional thinking to seeing sex as an act of recommitment Your marriage isn't supposed to be a battlefield of competing needs—it's meant to be the sacred space where two equal partners continually choose to become one. Tune in for a conversation that might completely transform how you view intimacy with your spouse. 🔗 Get my March relationship planner focused on this topic: https://luellajonk.com/the-game-plan/#The_Planner 📚 Recommended Reading: "Be Devoted: Restoring Friendship, Passion, and Communion in Your Marriage" by Bob Schuchts McNally Robinson Indigo Amazon "Good News about Sex & Marriage" McNally Robinson Indigo Amazon 🔔 Disclaimer: This podcast provides relationship insights from a faith-oriented perspective but is not a substitute for professional counseling.

47:49

In this episode, we’re diving deep into a framework that has stood the test of time—the 7 deadly sins—and how they show up in our marriages in ways we don’t even realize. We often think of marriage as a place of love and companionship, but the truth is, it’s also one of life’s greatest teachers of virtue. What if the arguments, resentment, and emotional distance in your relationship aren’t just problems—but opportunities? Opportunities to practice patience, humility, and kindness instead of pride, anger, and envy. I’ll walk you through: ✅ Why pride makes you fight to "win"—and why that’s ruining your relationship ✅ The hidden ways envy and greed can creep into your marriage (without you noticing) ✅ How anger starts as a flicker but can burn everything down if unchecked ✅ Why lust and emotional comparison are more dangerous than you think ✅ The simple mindset shifts that replace vice with virtue—and create a marriage that actually lasts Your marriage isn’t supposed to be perfect—but it is supposed to refine you. Tune in for a conversation that just might change the way you love, communicate, and show up for your partner. 🔗 https://luellajonk.com/ 🔔 Disclaimer: This podcast provides general relationship insights and is not a substitute for professional counseling.

In this episode, I sit down with Debbie Travis—TV personality, entrepreneur, and best-selling author—to talk about reinvention, risk-taking, and knowing when to say basta (enough). At 16, Debbie left home with no clear plan. She started painting houses, turned that into a thriving business, and eventually became a household name in lifestyle television. She built a media empire, published multiple books, and then, at the height of her success, walked away to start a new chapter in Italy.

Ever feel like you and your partner argue about the same thing over and over again?

In this solo episode, I share my thoughts on a topic that feels more relevant than ever: the impact of burnout and the societal pressure to erase gender differences. Drawing from my decades of experience as a coach and therapist, I open up about how this push for sameness is leaving many women — and families -- emotionally drained and disconnected. I reflect on the pressures women face to excel in every aspect of life, from thriving in their careers to being the perfect parent, and how this relentless drive is stealing their energy and joy. I also dive into the beauty of our unique gender strengths and how these differences can create stronger connections and partnerships when embraced, rather than ignored.
