    Community and the Mind, Body, Soul Integration with Morgan Kline

    [NOTE: Thanks for hanging with us through some audio issues with this episode! If you're having a hard time following, go watch the episode on YouTube where you can turn on captions – that really helps!] Okay y’all KNOW I’ve become a Burn Boot Camp obsessed gym girly – I would not have gotten through this horrific season of divorce without caring for my body (and building a really sweet community) within the walls of my local gym. And the incredible thing about Burn Boot Camp is that I can keep my workout rhythm going when I travel and speak all across the country!  In this “don’t heal alone” season of Still Coloring, I wanted to chat with the CEO and co-founder of Burn Boot Camp, Morgan Kline, because goodness knows Burn has helped me heal. Morgan and her husband Devan lead this company so well, and I had the opportunity to tell her that in this episode! We talk about the importance of community, consistency and challenge – the three C’s of Burn! – and about honoring God through how we care for our bodies.  Y’all go check out a Burn Boot Camp near you and tag me when you do!

    Sitting in Grief Together with Eryn Eddy Adkins

    Well, you guys, I apologize in advance for the snot-cry-filled audio of this episode, but that’s how you know we went REAL DEEP on the topic of sitting with your friends in grief. Eryn Eddy Adkins and I have been friends for nearly a decade. She knew me when I was freshly divorced and then remarried… and now divorced again. It’s so sweet to have a friend who has seen you through all the seasons of adulthood, and the story of redemption I’ve seen in Eryn’s life has given me so much hope for the work God is doing in mine.  We cry a lot in this episode – we sat down to record just days after the tremendous heartbreak of lightning striking her parents’ 20,000-square-foot barn. The devastating fire destroyed heirlooms and family photos they’ll never get back. You’ll hear us process through that together. And because we’ve been friends through various dating and marriage contexts, we also talk about fighting to not find our worth in men, and that’s a conversation I think A LOT of women need to hear today.

    Alcohol and Accountability with Debra Fileta

    I’m so excited for you to hear this conversation today with my friend Debra Fileta. Debra and I have been ministry friends for a while, but she’s played a unique and important role in my healing journey over the past year as it relates to wise counsel around numbing through alcohol. At the end of 2024, I made a decision that alcohol could not be a part of my life any more, and Debra is holding me accountable to what I’ve promised myself and the Lord.  Think of this episode as a collab of sorts – I was on her podcast, “Talk to Me,” earlier this summer, and I’m bringing our conversation over here to my podcast listeners too. We talk about asking for help, revealing our weak spots, and learning to trust again after betrayal. I hope it’s a helpful conversation for you too!  Thank you to our two incredible sponsors for this season of the Still Coloring podcast: Bark Technologies and “Unshakeable Moxie” from Our Daily Bread Ministries! http://info.bark.us/toni https://go.odb.org/toni-moxie Connect with Debra: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DebraFileta/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DebraFileta Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talk-to-me-the-debra-fileta-podcast/id1417804351 Website: debrafileta.com Watch podcast episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tonijcollier Order Toni’s NEW book, Don’t Try This Alone: https://www.tonijcollier.com/notalone Shop Toni's merch: https://www.shopetch.co/collections/toni-collierConnect with Toni: Personal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonijcollier/Broken Crayons Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brkncrayons/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/colliertoniNewsletter: ToniJCollier.com/NewsletterWebsite: ToniJCollier.comPurchase Toni’s children’s book, Broken Crayons Still Color: https://amzn.to/3x3I4xD Purchase Toni’s book, Brave Enough to be Broken: https://amzn.to/3VoCjVu

    When New Friends Rally with Rachel Awtrey

    You ever stumble into a friendship? You meet someone randomly or have a brief encounter with them and then realize that you’ve actually found a meaningful connection? That’s how I feel about Rachel Awtrey.  Rachel had me on her podcast back in 2023 and asked about my marriage during the interview, not knowing I was in the early stages of going through my divorce. After the mics stopped recording, I opened up and asked if we could edit that part out, and Rachel saw me. She kept leaning in when she could have just moved on, and I felt genuinely cared for. Since then, she’s followed the Lord’s prompting to reach out in moments when she didn’t know I needed a tangible reminder of God’s love for me.  I hope this episode gives you some bravery to start tiptoeing toward strangers and also provides some practical tips on finding and stewarding safe friendships. Rachel uses some gym metaphors for seeking joy in life, and you KNOW I loved those! Y’all go check out her new book too! It’s called Love Your Life (Even When You Don’t Like It All The Time).

    Allies in Pain with Lisa Whittle and Jo Saxton

    Jo Saxton and Lisa Whittle are who I call my “allies in pain.” They are like big sisters to me, lifelines whom I can text at any time for advice. The idea of “withness” that I talk about in my new book, someone’s presence with you in your pain – they have lived it out so beautifully. And they were relentless in making sure that I told the truth about the betrayal I experienced in my marriage two years ago.  Lisa, Jo, and I have a conversation about finding (and being) trusted friends, saying the hard and difficult thing in a loving way, even when someone is in pain, and why it’s important that we process hard things with our integrated mind, body and soul in mind. We end the episode with Lisa and Jo mom’ing us a bit, sharing the best advice they’ve passed on to their own daughters.  Thank you to our two incredible sponsors for this season of the Still Coloring podcast: Bark Technologies and “Unshakeable Moxie” from Our Daily Bread Ministries! info.bark.us/toni go.odb.org/toni-moxie Connect with Lisa: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisawhittle/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LisaWhittleOfficial Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jesus-over-everything/id1327968510 Website: www.lisawhittle.com Order Lisa’s NEW book, Body & Soul A Biblical Look at the Whole Person God Created You to Be: https://www.lisawhittle.com/body “Imago Dei” trucker hat Connect with Jo: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/josaxton Podcast: https://leadstoriespodcast.com/ Website: www.josaxton.com Ezer Collective (November 13-15, 2025): https://www.tickettailor.com/events/josaxton/1540510 Watch podcast episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tonijcollier Order Toni’s NEW book, Don’t Try This Alone: https://www.tonijcollier.com/notalone Shop Toni's merch: https://www.shopetch.co/collections/toni-collierConnect with Toni: Personal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonijcollier/Broken Crayons Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brkncrayons/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/colliertoniNewsletter: ToniJCollier.com/NewsletterWebsite: ToniJCollier.comPurchase Toni’s children’s book, Broken Crayons Still Color: https://amzn.to/3x3I4xD Purchase Toni’s book, Brave Enough to be Broken: https://amzn.to/3VoCjVu

    Godly Adult Friendships with Jackie Hill Perry and Megan Ashley

    Jackie Hill Perry and Megan Ashley became friends within the last few years and it’s not an exaggeration to say that their friendship has literally blessed millions. They were once strangers but now they spur each other on in ministry, pray together, keep each other accountable, and fight for unity… and I think we can all learn something from the way they prioritize their friendship. There’s a lot of fear when it comes to friendship, but I pray that this conversation helps you to see just how sacred friendship can be when you intentionally create safety and pursue Christ together.  Thank you to our two incredible sponsors for this season of the Still Coloring podcast: Bark Technologies and “Unshakeable Moxie” from Our Daily Bread Ministries! http://info.bark.us/toni https://go.odb.org/toni-moxie Connect with Jackie: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jackiehillperry YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCElWlmvQnOnlPvhVdvBoQJQ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0Lf9qKpKwy6fJtfM7UWLV0?si=OENzYMk7RgiEzW8yTF7u0g Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@WithThePerrys Website: http://jackiehillperry.com Connect with Megan: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/immeganashley YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Immeganashley Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-totality-with-megan-ashley/id1614077859 Website: http://themeganashley.com Watch podcast episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tonijcollier Order Toni’s NEW book, Don’t Try This Alone: https://www.tonijcollier.com/notalone Shop Toni's merch: https://www.shopetch.co/collections/toni-collierConnect with Toni: Personal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonijcollier/Broken Crayons Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brkncrayons/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/colliertoniNewsletter: ToniJCollier.com/NewsletterWebsite: ToniJCollier.comPurchase Toni’s children’s book, Broken Crayons Still Color: https://amzn.to/3x3I4xD Purchase Toni’s book, Brave Enough to be Broken: https://amzn.to/3VoCjVu

    Pain Into Purpose

    Well, hey friends! It’s been a minute! The last season of Still Coloring hit your feeds last summer, and a whole lot has happened since then. Last season, every episode you heard was just me, recounting all of the ways God (and His people) showed up for me in the darkest moments of my life. It was vulnerable and tear-filled and I hope so very encouraging to anyone going through something similar.  The podcast is back for a new season, and I’m excited for you to hear these conversations about community, grief, mental health, and friendship. But first, I wanted to intro Season 7 with a deeply personal reflections on life after betrayal.  Thank you to our two incredible sponsors for this season of the Still Coloring podcast: Bark Technologies and “Unshakeable Moxie” from Our Daily Bread Ministries! http://info.bark.us/toni https://go.odb.org/toni-moxie Watch podcast episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tonijcollier Order Toni’s NEW book, Don’t Try This Alone: https://www.tonijcollier.com/notalone Shop Toni's merch: https://www.shopetch.co/collections/toni-collierConnect with Toni: Personal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonijcollier/Broken Crayons Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brkncrayons/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/colliertoniNewsletter: ToniJCollier.com/NewsletterWebsite: ToniJCollier.comPurchase Toni’s children’s book, Broken Crayons Still Color: https://amzn.to/3x3I4xD Purchase Toni’s book, Brave Enough to be Broken: https://amzn.to/3VoCjVu
