Iona Speaks About Soaring Courageously

How can gratitude ground us in uncertainty and give us the courage to take the next bold step?

In this episode of Iona Speaks about Soaring Courageously, Iona welcomes Bill Haley, an Anglican priest and founder of Coracle, for a powerful conversation about Spiritual Formation for Kingdom Action. Faith, gratitude, and spiritual grounding shape the way we lead, make decisions, and respond to the world around us.

Bill shares how trusting God’s wisdom and unconditional love provides the foundation to navigate uncertainty with courage. His commitment to racial justice deepened after discovering a burial ground on his property, prompting him to confront difficult history and pursue greater understanding, healing, and reconciliation.

That experience led him to ask a question that challenges those entrusted with executive leadership and influence: “What have I been given, and how can I be a good steward of it?”

Together, we explore how gratitude helps us recognize what we have been entrusted with, how faith informs our choices, and how courageous action can emerge even in seasons of uncertainty, brokenness, and change.

Join us for a reflective ride down by the riverside, where the water continues to flow even amid distress and despair.

In this episode you’re invited to…

Get rooted in faith.

Lead with gratitude.

Steward what you have been given.

Take the next bold step. Soar courageously as you learn ways to engage in gratitude.

Conversations that inspire courageous action are essential to walking in the freedom to Own The Room, Again. Beyond Burnout.

In professional spaces where women can feel pressured to shrink, second-guess themselves, or question whether they truly belong, imposter syndrome can quietly interfere with confidence, decision-making, and the courage to move forward.

But what happens when you stop allowing an old belief to define your worth?

Felicia White, CEO and Founder of Foundation for Advancing Women, Restoring Purpose, knows that journey personally. She has walked through the process of confronting imposter syndrome, dismantling beliefs that no longer served her, and embracing the truth of who she is.

In this episode, Felicia shares what it means to walk in freedom as a professional woman with confidence, authenticity, and a stronger understanding of her worth.

Listen with intentionality and discover what can happen when you stop questioning whether you belong and begin recognizing the strength, wisdom, and authority already within you to execute your calling.

From addiction and broken relationships to inner healing and freedom, Dennis O’Neill shares how one encounter with Jesus changed the trajectory of his life.

Dennis is the founder of Restoring Wholeness Ministries (https://www.restoring-wholeness.com). He used to see himself as “an earthbound turkey”; stuck, grounded, and going nowhere. In this episode of Iona Speaks about Soaring Courageously, he opens up about the deliverance and inner healing that broke that cycle; turning his pain into joy and his purpose into a business. 

This journey was not a quick fix. It was a commitment of trust that was not isolating but communal. 

Listen and watch. Give yourself permission to take the first step in breaking the chains that hold you back, and soaring courageously.
