Many people have experienced some form of trauma in their life. I decided at an early age that our trauma should not be what defines us; it’s what we choose to do with it that does. I was just 11 years old when I witnessed my father murder my mother in the early morning hours of New Year's Eve. When no one believed me except one detective, I gathered evidence against my father, leading police to discover her body buried in another state. After having my story featured on Forensic Files, I channeled my trauma into filmmaking and podcasting, gaining widespread recognition as the creator and subject of A Murder in Mansfield, a film directed by two-time Oscar winner Barbara Kopple. Every week, I share my unique perspective on surviving true crime and trauma, overcoming adversity, and moving on. Along with sharing my healing process, I speak with fellow trauma survivors, academics, advocates, and storytellers and explore what came next. I hope this podcast serves as a kind of therapy and reconciliation for myself, and anyone who may be processing betrayal and dark trauma in their lives.

Decisions from a Traumatic Past to Live for the Future

In this unique episode, we get to see what it's like when the tables are turned with Collier as the guest of a show. Wellness and business coach Jessica McKinley (host of Sincerely, Future You) interviews Collier about his pain, his losses, his recovery, and the lessons he learned along the way. It's a more vulnerable side of Collier we don't normally see on Moving Past Murder.

  • Listen as Collier tells Sincerely, Future You host Jessica McKinley the heartbreak he had to suffer through as a young boy who lost mother, his father, his dog, his extended family, everything almost instantly.
  • Collier made incredible sacrifices as a child so he could respect himself and the person he knew he would become in the future.
  • Jessica explores just how difficult that is for anyone to do.
  • We all need a peptalk in life the office through our darkest moments here what Collier had to tell himself at 12-years-old defined the world to live and push forward. Child actors often have a difficult time adjusting to life as they grow older. It's not so different for children who experience trauma.
  • After surviving everything he's been through, what message does Collier have for others struggling to move past their own individual trauma?
