Still Coloring with Toni Collier

Drawing from her own experience of enduring repeated infidelity in marriage, Toni shares the things she wishes she had understood when she first discovered betrayal—and the practical steps she believes can help you move from panic toward clarity.

Reminders in this episode:

Do not make a permanent decision from a temporarily flooded place.

You are allowed to be devastated.

You are allowed to ask questions.

You are allowed to create space.

And you are allowed to take your time before deciding what happens next.

This episode is not telling everyone to divorce. And it is not telling everyone to stay.

It is about finding safe people, establishing truth, creating healthy boundaries, praying for wisdom, and paying attention to whether the person who betrayed you is actually willing to take responsibility and do the work required for reconciliation.

Toni also talks about three common responses to betrayal: revenge, self-blame, and rushing to repair everything immediately.

What if you don’t need another goal…you just need a reset?

In this episode of the Still Coloring Podcast, Toni sits down with certified Christian health coach and Healthy by Heather Brown host Heather Brown for a practical, faith-filled conversation about caring for your mind, body, and soul without turning health into another exhausting thing to achieve.

Heather shares the framework behind her new book, The Sunday Reset, and challenges us to stop letting life simply happen to us and start intentionally building our weeks with God.

Together, Toni and Heather talk about finding your “why” for health, meal planning, movement, mental health, stress, consistency, grief, anxiety, surrender, and why getting healthy should be less about looking a certain way and more about having the capacity to live the life God has called you to.

Heather also leads Toni through a practical breathing exercise for stress—and y’all, Toni almost ended the podcast to go take a nap. 😂

One of the biggest reminders from this conversation?

We may not have the power to stop life from being hard, but we can create more capacity in our bodies to hold the hard.

This episode is for the woman who is tired of starting over, setting goals she cannot sustain, running herself into the ground, or constantly trying to move faster than God.

Maybe you don’t need to completely reinvent your life.

Maybe you just need to reset it with God.

What happens when you’ve been faithful to God… and your life still falls apart? 

In this episode of the Still Coloring Podcast, Toni sits down with preacher, author, and podcaster **Brenda Palmer** for an honest conversation about church hurt, betrayal, rebuilding your life, surrender, and following Jesus when obedience doesn’t produce the outcome you expected. Brenda shares the devastating story of experiencing betrayal inside a church community that felt like family—and why that pain ultimately pushed her **deeper into God instead of away from Him**. 

Because sometimes we believe: 

*I prayed.* *I obeyed.* 

*I did the right thing.* 

*So surely God is going to make this work out.

* But what happens when He doesn’t? 

 

Brenda shares how her life didn’t immediately get better after choosing God. She moved across the country, slept on an air mattress, went almost a year without a job, received government assistance, battled depression, and had to rebuild nearly everything. And somewhere in the rebuilding, she learned something that stopped Toni in her tracks: **Surrender isn’t how we convince God to do something for us. Surrender is our response to what He has already done.** 

WHEW. 😭 

If you’ve ever thought: 

**“God, I did everything right. Why did You still let this happen?”

** This episode is for you. Because obedience isn’t ultimately about what you get on the other side. 

**It’s about the God you meet along the way.**

📖 **ABOUT BRENDA** 

Brenda Palmer is a preacher, author, podcaster, and the author of *The Journey of Yes: The Everyday Adventure of Radical Obedience*.

As we kick off Season 10 of the Still Coloring Podcast, we're opening the book of Nehemiah to discover a powerful truth: God doesn't just rebuild walls... He rebuilds people.

In this episode, Toni shares three biblical principles for rebuilding your life with moxie and resilience:

• Stop mourning what was without abandoning what could be.

• Rebuild one brick at a time.

• Protect what God is rebuilding.

If you've been wondering whether healing is still possible for you, let this be your reminder that your story isn't over. God is still in the business of restoration, and even if all you see is rubble today, He knows how to build something beautiful from it.

Your broken crayons still color.

Scripture: Nehemiah 1–4
