Solo Parent Podcast

This week we’re discussing what Real Courage Looks Like 

When you’ve been through divorce, betrayal, or repeated heartbreak, the thought of starting over again can feel impossible. It takes more than sheer willpower to stand back up, it takes tenacity, deep-rooted hope, and the kind of community that can carry you when you’re too weary to carry yourself. Toni Collier, founder of Broken Crayons Still Color and author of Don’t Try This Alone, joins us to share her journey through two divorces, raising two children as a single mom, and finding the courage to step into deep, confessional relationships instead of hiding in shame. Her story offers both a raw look at pain and a roadmap toward healing.

Today, we cover three main points:

• Tenacity is built, not inherited. 
• Hiding keeps us from healing.
• Safe community starts with becoming a safe person.

Through raw honesty and practical wisdom, Toni reminds us that we aren’t designed to do life alone, no matter our personality, history, or fear of being hurt again.
