How to Let People In (Even When It’s Hard) — A Conversation with Toni Collier | Episode 337

43 minutes

Rachel sits down with Toni Collier — speaker, author, and founder of Broken Crayons Still Color — to talk about her new book Don’t Try This Alone: The Power of the Right People in Your Life.

Together they unpack what it really means to let people in when you feel messy, why true healing happens in the context of community, and how to find (or rebuild) a circle that’s safe and life-giving.

Whether you’re walking through a hard season, craving deeper friendships, or wondering if you can really trust others again, this episode will remind you that you don’t have to do it all on your own and you’re not meant to.
