The Luella Jonk ShowAuthor: 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.

Episode #98: Nothing Was Wrong, But Something Felt Off
Tuesday, 21 April, 2026
In this solo episode, I'm being honest about something I don't think we talk about enough: what happens after the spiritual highs. It's the Friday after Easter, and instead of feeling joyful and victorious, I've been waking up with this low-level heaviness—not depression, not anything my family would notice, but something quietly off.I'll walk you through:✅ Why intensity—whether it's Easter, a long-awaited vacation, or a career milestone—often leaves us feeling drained afterward✅ The intersection of joy and suffering that the cross reveals (and why we can't escape it)✅ How women especially get stuck in constant mental movement—planning, anticipating, evaluating—even when sitting still✅ Why the instinct to "fix" ourselves when we feel off is often the wrong move✅ The difference between circumstantial problems and deeper misalignment✅ Why I choose work that doesn't make money (my podcast, my writing) and what that says about fulfillment vs. productivityWhether you're coming down from a spiritual season feeling flat, caught in the mental gymnastics of trying to do enough and be enough, or wondering why rest never feels like rest—this episode offers permission to stop overanalyzing and start realigning.🔔 Remember: Not everything that feels off needs to be fixed. Sometimes you're just human. And sometimes the answer isn't more productivity or better circumstances—it's coming back into proper alignment with what actually matters.#TheLuellaJonkShow #AfterTheHigh #EasterReflection #SpiritualIntensity #JoyAndSuffering #WomenAndExhaustion #MentalLoad #SoulFulfillment #Misalignment #ProductivityVsPurpose #ChristianLiving #LentAndEaster #BeingHuman #InnerPeace #GroundedInGod
