The Loneliness Nobody Warns You About When You Start Growing (And What to Do With It) | Just Nona 31.05.2026 33min

There are seasons where growth doesn't feel exciting. It feels isolating. You start thinking differently. Responding differently. Wanting different things. The conversations that used to feel normal don't fit anymore. The environments feel misaligned. And while part of you is grateful — because you know God is doing something real in you — another part of you is quietly carrying the weight of becoming someone new without many people around who understand who you're becoming. In this episode...

You Are Not Behind — You Are Living in God's Timeline (Even When It Doesn't Look Like It) | Just Nona 24.05.2026 30min

There is a quiet pressure that builds over time. Not always from other people — but from within. A silent inventory of what your life is, and what it isn't. A comparison between where you are and where you thought you would be by now. And underneath all of it, a question many people carry but rarely say out loud: Am I behind? Did I miss my moment? In this episode of Just Nona, I'm answering a heart question from a listener named Judy, who at 65 is still waiting — for marriage, for companionsh...

When God Says No to Your Prayer (And You're Still Expected to Have Faith) | Just Nona 17.05.2026 31min

There are questions we carry in silence — not because we don't feel them, but because we're afraid of what it means to say them out loud. Questions like: Why is this still happening? Why have I prayed for years and nothing has changed? Why does everyone else seem to be getting breakthrough while I'm still waiting? In this episode of Just Nona, I'm answering a heart question from a listener named Kristy, who has been living with an inherited kidney condition since her early 30s, is now being...

The Lie Rejection Told You About Yourself (And How to Finally Stop Believing It) // Just Nona 10.05.2026 33min

Rejection hurts. But repeated rejection? That rewires you. Research shows that relational rejection activates the same neural pathways as physical pain. And when it keeps happening — through heartbreak, abandonment, friendships that disappear — your brain stops looking for an external explanation and starts creating an internal one. "It must be me." In this episode of Just Nona, I'm answering a heart question from a listener named Schenita, who has experienced repeated rejection and is asking...

Why They Don't Apologize (And Why It Hurts So Much) // Just Nona 04.05.2026 39min

Do you keep getting hurt… but the apology never comes? Not from your partner. Not from your family. Not even from people who know they hurt you. It makes you question yourself. Why didn’t they acknowledge it? Why do they apologize to others—but not me? Why does it feel like my pain doesn’t matter? In this episode of Just Nona, we’re not just answering the surface question. We’re going deeper. Because the real question isn’t just: “Why don’t they apologize?” It’s “Why does it feel like I don...

Introducing Just Nona: Official Trailer // Nona Jones 27.04.2026 1min

For the last three years, I’ve had the honor of hosting The Nona Jones Show, bringing you thoughtful conversations with friends, experts, and voices across culture, leadership, and faith. I’ve loved every moment of it, but over the last few months, I’ve been quietly working on an evolution. While in prayer about the 2026 season, God impressed upon me that you don’t need more conversations. You need clarity. You don’t need more content. You need truth that stays with you long enough to change...

Courtney Pray Duke: Finding Hope After Loss// The Nona Jones Show 27.01.2026 40min

Grief can knock the breath out of you. One moment life feels steady — and the next, everything you knew is gone. In this episode of The Nona Jones Show, I sit down with author and speaker Courtney Pray Duke, who was widowed at 29 and left to raise three young children after the sudden loss of her husband. This isn’t a conversation about “moving on.” It’s about what happens when resurrection meets real life — when Jesus shows up in the middle of heartbreak and helps you rise again. We talk ...

The Hidden Language of Trauma: Why You React the Way You Do with Dr. Gino Collura //The Nona Jones 20.01.2026 39min

Most of us think relationship problems are about communication. But what if the real issue is what’s happening beneath the surface? In this episode of The Nona Jones Show, I’m joined by Dr. Gino Collura; behavioral scientist, executive advisor, and neuroanthropology expert, to unpack the hidden language of trauma and why it shows up in how we relate, react, attach, and interpret people. Trauma doesn’t always show up as a memory. More often, it shows up as overreaction, withdrawal, control,...

You’re Chasing Love, Not Listening to It with Laterras R. Whitfield // The Nona Jones Show 13.01.2026 42min

Most of us enter relationships trying to pass; pass as healed, pass as confident, pass as ready. But love was never a test to ace. This conversation shifts the posture from trying to master love to becoming a student of it. Drawing from Student of Love, we explore how relationships are meant to teach us, through rejection, boundaries, identity, commitment, and even discomfort. Too often, we chase connection without clarity and search for soulmates without doing the soul work. When we stop t...

Trusting God When Surrender Feels Scary with Brenda Palmer // The Nona Jones Show 25.11.2025 47min

Your “yes” to God may cost you comfort, but it will lead you to purpose. Saying “yes” sounds simple, until it stretches your faith, disrupts your plans, or challenges your comfort zone. The truth is, many of us pray for clarity, but what we really want is control. And when obedience feels risky, fear will always try to talk us out of faith. But what if the blessing you’ve been praying for is waiting on the other side of that trembling, uncertain, but willing “yes”? What if the detours and ...

When They Hurt You and Don't Even Care // The Nona Jones Show 11.11.2025 32min

What do you do when you love Jesus…but someone deeply hurts you and isn’t even sorry about it? When they lie, undermine you, or try to ruin your name and somehow, they seem to move on while you’re still in pieces? In this episode of The Nona Jones Show, Nona unpacks what it really means to forgive without an apology. She shares a personal story of betrayal and what God taught her about letting go, not to excuse the pain, but to stop carrying what was never hers to hold. You’ll learn: * Why ...

Rejected but Redeemed: Finding God’s Purpose in the Pain with Ginger Stache // The Nona Jones Show 04.11.2025 33min

Rejection isn’t the end of your story—it can be the beginning of God’s greater plan. If you’ve ever felt cast aside, overlooked, or unseen… this conversation is for you. Because rejection hurts—deeply. Whether it’s a broken relationship, a missed opportunity, or simply feeling invisible, those moments can leave scars that whisper lies: you’re not enough, you’re not wanted, you don’t belong. But here’s the truth: rejection doesn’t define you—in God’s hands, it refines you. Today, I’m joined by...

Salt, Light, and Influence: Bringing Faith Into Cultural Spaces with Enitan Bereola // The Nona Jones Show 28.10.2025 39min

Your faith was never meant to be hidden—it was meant to be lived, breathed, and embodied in how you lead, love, and show up every day. Today’s conversation is for anyone navigating the tension of being a believer in spaces that don’t always honor belief. My guest, Enitan Bereola, shows us what it looks like to live authentically with God—not perfectly, but fully present, fully aligned, and fully courageous. Culture is loud. It tells us who to be, what to value, and how to think. And too oft...

Behind the Scenes: What It Really Takes to Build a Legacy with Candi Carter // The Nona Jones Show 21.10.2025 42min

Influence isn't about being seen—it’s about what you build when no one’s watching. This conversation is for high-capacity women and dreamers who feel called to big stages but are unsure how to navigate the industry, the politics, or the pressure. Candi’s journey reveals what it really takes to rise, lead, and last in a world that often values image over integrity. When you think of the entertainment industry, you might think lights, cameras, red carpets—and yes, there’s all of that. But what ...

Why Your Faith Might Be the Key to Your Best Relationship Yet with Sekou Browne // The Nona Jones Show 13.10.2025 40min

There’s a moment in every leader’s life when the assignment that once felt like destiny starts to feel like disobedience. You’re still producing. You’re still respected. But inside, there’s a quiet whisper that says: It’s time to move on. The problem? We often confuse disruption with failure. Especially when we’ve built a name, a reputation, or even an identity around what we do. The idea of stepping away—especially from something successful—can feel like stepping into the unknown with no ma...

The War for Your Identity: How Lies Keep You From Your Calling // The Nona Jones Show 07.10.2025 40min

There’s a battle happening over your life right now—and it’s not about your job, your finances, your relationships, or even your health. It’s about your identity. Jeremiah 1:5 says…. And not only does God assign your purpose to your identity, the adversary knows God has assigned your purpose to your identity. And this is why, if he can twist, diminish, or distort your identity, he can keep you from walking in the fullness of your calling. Satan uses tools like comparison and rejection—not jus...

You Don’t Have to Stay Where You Don’t Belong with Rosilyn Houston // The Nona Jones Show 30.09.2025 40min

There’s a moment in every leader’s life when the assignment that once felt like destiny starts to feel like disobedience. You’re still producing. You’re still respected. But inside, there’s a quiet whisper that says: It’s time to move on. The problem? We often confuse disruption with failure. Especially when we’ve built a name, a reputation, or even an identity around what we do. The idea of stepping away—especially from something successful—can feel like stepping into the unknown with no ma...

Why Your Authenticity Is the Key to Your Calling with Dr. Jackie Greene // The Nona Jones Show 23.09.2025 40min

We live in a world obsessed with image. Social media filters, curated feeds, and brand “personas” make it easier than ever to project a version of ourselves that looks good—but isn’t real. The problem? When we hide, we hurt. We disconnect from God, from others, and from our own calling because authenticity is the soil where purpose grows. Living behind a mask might protect you in the moment, but it will suffocate you in the long run. Today’s conversation is for anyone tired of pretending—ti...

How to Embrace the Bumpy Road and Come Out Stronger with Tim Timberlake // The Nona Jones Show 16.09.2025 40min

We all love the idea of “better.” A better job. A better marriage. A better season. But what we don’t love is the journey it often takes to get there. Because more often than not, the road to better is bumpy, full of unexpected twists, and nothing like the path we imagined. The truth is, some of God’s greatest gifts come wrapped in hardship. The very thing you’re asking Him to remove might be the thing He’s using to refine you, redirect you, and prepare you for the promise. Today’s conversa...

Radical Confidence in a World That Undermines Women with Lisa Bilyeu // The Nona Jones Show 09.09.2025 40min

According to a 2023 report from McKinsey & Company, women remain significantly underrepresented in senior leadership roles, holding only 28% of C-suite positions. And when they do rise, they’re twice as likely to be mistaken for someone more junior, or labeled “aggressive” rather than assertive. The message is clear: lead, but not too boldly. Speak up, but not too loudly. Be strong, but not so strong that you make people uncomfortable. But here’s the truth: the world desperately needs wom...
