Dr. Chinwé Williams is a licensed and board-certified therapist, speaker, author, and consultant, so you know what that means – today’s episode might feel like a free counseling session, and Y’ALL, it’s so good. I think she’s so brilliant. We talk about helping kids process through trauma and emotions, because Lord knows they come jam-packed with BIG feelings. We talk about re-parenting ourselves so that we can be better parents for our kids. And Chinwé talks about why she doesn’t think anxiety isn’t necessarily 100% bad – God created us to have an alarm system that prepares us for threat. Sit under Chinwé’s wisdom and guidance, and then share this episode with a friend.This season of the Still Coloring podcast is sponsored by Bark Technologies.

I’ve got a real-life friend with me today, my girl Wanda Mulzac! I just love her story and how she has pointed to God through the heartache and the joy of their journey to parenthood. We talk about infertility today, which can be a really hard conversation in the church. Wanda and her husband now have 3 miracle babies through IVF, and we chat about what it’s like to navigate feeling extremely grateful for our kids’ lives but also struggling through hard moments of parenting with kids’ emotions. I’m just so grateful for Wanda sharing her story with us today – hope it encourages you! This season of the Still Coloring podcast is sponsored by Bark Technologies.

Dr. Morgan Cutlip is a highly sought after relationship expert who knows what it feels like to lose yourself in motherhood. You’ll hear Morgan talk about how when we are spread thin, we’re regularly programmed to minimize our own needs. But helping our kids with their big emotions requires us to be in a good place, so we need to learn how to stop and “mom” ourselves. This is a great conversation today and I have a feeling you’ll be able to relate to the “do it all and be it all” struggle Morgan and I discuss. Have a listen and share with a friend!

We are always learning and growing. And when we are speaking on behalf of – as an advocate or an ally for – a people group that we don't identify with, there is an unbelievable amount of learning and growth that should come from that people group, always. So let's learn, fam! Whether you have a disabled child in your care or not, we can all get really good at humanizing every single beating heart on this planet. So lean all the way in as even I learn and grow in real time in my understanding of honoring the worthiness of every single son and daughter of God! This season of the Still Coloring podcast is sponsored by Bark Technologies.

If you love Food Network, you likely know and love Aarti Sequeira like I do, and I’m so excited that we’ve got her on this season of Still Coloring! Aarti once won her season of Food Network Star and regularly serves as a guest judge on shows like Chopped, Cutthroat Kitchen and Guy’s Grocery Games. Today you’ll hear my conversation with Aarti about being a working mom and what it’s like to show our kids how to go out and chase their dreams – with all of the emotions that are wrapped up in that, too. We discuss the tension of competing priorities with work, travel, and family life, and Aarti points to Jesus as the example of how to seek rest and solitude from good, hard work. Plus, you KNOW we talk about food, and she tells us about her brand new devotional cookbook, available now for purchase. This season of the Still Coloring podcast is sponsored by Bark Technologies.

Lauren Chandler wraps up the season with some really incredible encouragement – if you’re facing something really hard or painful or dark, know that it won’t be that way forever. Be honest with God and ask Him for the desire to move toward Him. And if all you have is a complaint, bring that to Him. He knows your heart already but delights when you let Him into it.Connect with Lauren:Instagram | SubstackWebsite: LaurenChandler.comOrder Lauren’s latest book, Praise Him Watch podcast episodes on YouTube!Connect with Toni: Personal Instagram | Broken Crayons Instagram | FacebookNewsletter: ToniJCollier.com/NewsletterWebsite: ToniJCollier.comPurchase Toni’s children’s book: Broken Crayons Still ColorPurchase Toni’s book: Brave Enough to be BrokenWant to partner with Toni or advertise on the podcast?
