Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!
Our guest for today’s episode is my new friend, Toni Collier.
Toni is a Hope Coach, author of Brave Enough to Be Broken and the founder of Broken Crayons Still Color, an international women’s ministry that helps women process their brokenness and reclaim hope. After a lifetime of childhood trauma, navigating a toxic marriage and divorce, an unhealthy church, becoming a single parent and feeling betrayed, Toni has learned how to find hope and healing in the midst of her pain. And that’s what she’s sharing with us today!
Here are just a few of the things she’s going to teach us in this episode:
How to rebuild your life after experiencing brokenness and pain
How to release ourselves from the pressure of perfectionism
How God can restore our hope and use our past experiences for good
Why therapy has played a vital role in her healing journey
And how the practice of gratitude can change your life
Friend, if you’re in a hard season right now, or you’re looking back at your past and wondering how any good can come from it, this episode is for you.
