“There are people even now who struggle with the reality of, I'm not moving because I don't feel like I deserve to be given that.” ~Tonya Bailey

If you have ever felt this way, then you will enjoy today’s guest, Tonya Bailey, as she shares how her leap after retiring from the military allowed her to be a beacon of hope for her family and other women in ways she could have never imagined.

Tonya’s Bio:

Tonya Bailey Jones is a wife, mother, grand-mother, coach and transformational speaker. She is a retired Naval Officer with numerous awards and commendations. She graduated from University of Maryland-Baltimore with her bachelor's degree in Nursing and from Liberty University with her master's degree in Nursing education. With all these accolades and a successful career, you would think life was bliss for Tonya. However, it was anything but.

Tonya's professional success was birthed through decades of darkness, depression and despair and shrouded in shame and regret. When God gave Tonya the vision of speaking on stages, she

was excited and ready with thoughts of motivating women to rise to success from meager beginnings. However, that was not the assignment God had for her.

Through years of trepidation, apprehension and lots of self-discovery, Tonya is elated to now say she took the leap and is walking in God's calling for her life and moving at the pace of grace with God by her side.

Known as "the lady with the soothing, compassionate voice who makes you want to lean in and chat," Tonya encourages women of faith to live beyond the guilt, shame and regret of their past choices and live in the fullness of who God created them to be.
