Toni Collier Heals from Childhood Wounds and Adult Betrayal

How vulnerability and community can heal the deepest wounds

Discover how anxiety weaves its way into every corner of life—and how to break free. Host Steve Cuss sits down with Toni Collier, founder of Broken Crayons Still Color, for a raw conversation on her journey from brokenness to healing and redemption. Together, they unpack how faith, authentic community, and radical vulnerability can transform deep wounds—like “parentification,” betrayal, and infidelity—into powerful testimonies of hope and resilience. This episode continues Steve’s exploration of the four spaces of anxiety and showcases the need to stop the spread of reactivity.
