How to heal while broken with Toni Collier

This is a big statement, but accurate: Toni might be our funniest guest so far. I was so highly amused by her experiences with krumping and twerking in the club. And I was deeply moved by her passion to help broken women find hope and healing.

Toni is a returning guest to Pardon The Mess because you all LOVED her so much the first time. She is the founder of an international women’s organization called Broken Crayons Still Color and helps women process through brokenness and get to healing and hope. Toni is a speaker, podcast host, author, pastor and mom of two adorable kiddos. 

My favorite thing about Toni is that she confronts the hard things. She believes the best way to meet life’s challenges is head-on. She is honest and real – and never ever steers away from sharing the real pain involved in her own life – from survivingserving abuse to a tough divorce and much more. In the same breath – she brings you back to hope. We all need the reminder that being broken isn’t the end of the story.

Enjoy!
