The Luella Jonk ShowThe Real Truth About Aging and Weight Gain with Elizabeth ResnickI 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 w...2023-11-2853 min
The Luella Jonk ShowSolo Episode - The Best Ways To Make Sure Your Relationship Does Not Last 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 happi...2023-11-2146 min

The Luella Jonk ShowSolo Episode - Don’t Let Your Trauma Become Your Never-Ending DramaToday, I discuss what to do when you feel triggered in relationships. As children, we learn through patterning thoughts, leading to patterned outcomes. This makes us feel very comfortable because patterning leads to certainty. One plus one equals two. We know what to expect, so it removes any discomfort. As kids, we were also told to stop crying and were distracted in order to be happy, mainly because our parents wanted us to be happy so that they could be happy. Then life happens, and we realize that nothing is certain, and we need to be taught a...2023-10-0340 min
