When Perfection Crumbles: Finding Strength in Surrender
What happens when we finally stop pretending we're fine? Toni Collier's journey begins at rock bottom-collapsed at the bottom of a staircase, crushed under accumulated trauma, divorce, and job loss. Despite years of spiritual practices, she found herself drowning in pain that wouldn't subside. This raw honesty challenges our instinct to hide our struggles. How often do we respond with "I'm fine" when we're actually falling apart? Rather than seeing vulnerability as weakness, Collier reframes it as the doorway to healing. Our fractures become the very places where strength can flow through. The turning point wasn't finding some magical solution but surrendering to reality-stopping the exhausting work of trying to fix everything herself and instead embracing counseling, community, and authentic faith. In a culture obsessed with curated social media personas, this honesty feels like oxygen. Healing doesn't come from having all the answers or projecting an image of perfection. It comes from the courage to say, "I'm not okay, and I need help." Perhaps our greatest strength lies not in appearing unbreakable, but in being brave enough to acknowledge when we're broken.
