About the Academy
Nona Jones was a corporate executive by the age of twenty-three, a sought after speaker and minister of the gospel, recognized by leading publications as an influential woman to watch, and wife of a devoted husband. But, beneath her success was a crumbling foundation of feeling empty, confused and alone. To top it all off, she was overweight, unhealthy and constantly felt exhausted.

Nona prayed and reflected on her life and decisions and discovered that the trauma of childhood sexual and physical abuse left such deep wounds that no amount of success could heal them. She realized she had used food to medicate her pain, but after making her feel better for a moment, she would climb into her size 18/20 clothes and feel worse. Nona needed a major intervention.
After prayerfully seeking God and discovering the keys to freedom from past pain, Nona went on to build fulfilling success out of empty success, became a global voice of hope and healing and lost 100 pounds in the process. She chronicled her story in Success from the Inside Out and launched the Nona Jones Leadership Academy to similarly equip and empower others to build their best life.
