Finding Healing Through Faith AND Therapy with Toni Collier Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

This week, Kat is bringing you one of the most fun people to talk to....ever. (Well at least she thinks so!) Toni Collier, the founder of an international women’s ministry called Broken Crayons Still Color, which helps women process through brokenness and get to hope. She is also the host of the podcast, Still Coloring and author of her new book, Brave Enough to Be Broken.

In this week's episode, Toni talks with Kat about some of the trauma she has experienced (including toxic relationships & a toxic church environment) and how she found the courage and strength to build a life of joy and freedom through it all. And surprise... Therapy was a huge part of this process. Toni speaks about how she was able to include both therapy and God in her healing and process and why both of them were pivotal in her own story of redemption. OHHH we LOVED this conversation and we hope you do to!

I Discovered I’m Autistic Later in Life with Lauren Ober Oct 10, 2022

Show notes

This week, Kat is joined by fellow podcaster and producer, Lauren Ober. Lauren describes herself as someone who had a hard time fitting into the mold that most people her age naturally did. During the pandemic, as the distractions that previously allowed her to ignore the challenges she faced faded away, she decided to seek a clear understanding of why she felt different than her peers. In her early 40s, Lauren was diagnosed with autism. She soon found herself working on a new project, The Loudest Girl in the World, a podcast detailing what life is like for her as a newly diagnosed autistic person. In this episode, Lauren talks about common myths the world tends to believe about autism in general and ways in which she has personally been misunderstood by others. One of Kat’s favorite take always from this episode is the reminder that, if you know one person with autism then you know one person with autism. As you listen you might learn a little about autism but you definitively will learn a lot about Lauren Ober.
