In today's episode of The Heart & Hustle Podcast, we welcome back the powerhouse herself — Toni Collier! If you've ever felt like you're too broken, too betrayed, or too worn down to keep going, this conversation will remind you that you're not alone. Toni opens up about one of the hardest seasons of her life and how it inspired her brand-new book, “Don't Try This Alone”. (Link Below). She shares raw, personal stories of heartbreak, healing, and the power of leaning on others when you want to hide. From building a “confessional community” that became her lifeline, to learning how to be brave enough to send a single vulnerable text, Toni reminds us that healing doesn't mean living pain-free — it means increasing your capacity to hold pain while finding hope in the middle of it. Together, we dive into what true community looks like, how to rebuild trust after betrayal, and why bravery often looks like simply saying, “I need help.” Whether you're in a valley right now or preparing for the storms that will inevitably come, Toni's wisdom and humor will leave you encouraged, empowered, and ready to believe in the goodness of people again. --------------------------------- Pinterest Freebie: https://theheartuniversity.com/pinterest --------------------------------- Heart Shop: https://theheartuniversity.com/shop  --------------------------------- Primally Pure: https://primallypure.com/?rfsn=5649435.725fd3 Use HEARTANDHUSTLE for 10% OFF. --------------------------------- Stay Updated with Toni and check out her new book: https://www.instagram.com/tonijcollier/ - https://www.instagram.com/brkncrayons/ - Book Link on Amazon - "Don't Try This Alone" --------------------------------- Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@theheartuniversitychannel?si=33lzxpBA9UxKlgTE --------------------------------- If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here. --------------------------------- “PODCAST10” for 10% off anything from The Shop! www.theheartuniversity.com/shop --------------------------------- Follow along: www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity

She was bubbly and confident in elementary school—always quick to smile, dance in the kitchen, and ask you to tuck her in. But lately… you've noticed a shift. She's quieter. Withdrawn. Glued to her phone. The sparkle in her eyes seems dimmer. And the conversations? They've turned into one-word answers and long silences. You wonder: Is she okay? Am I losing her? In this deeply relatable episode of Unlock U with Dr. Shannan Crawford, meet Gracie Showers, one of Crawford Clinics' gifted mental health providers who specializes in walking with 12–16-year-old girls as they navigate the pressures of middle and high school. With compassion, clinical skill, and a Christ-centered perspective, Gracie partners with families to raise emotionally resilient, relationally wise, and spiritually anchored daughters—girls who know their worth, set healthy boundaries, and live with intention in a culture pulling them in all the wrong directions. If you've ever worried your daughter is losing her way—or that the world might get to shape her more than God's design—this episode is your invitation to hope, help, and healing.

Michele Barrett and Diane Hallman are two mothers who have been given extraordinary challenges raising children whose gifts include diagnoses of ADHD, AUDDHD, and autism. Today, recognizing the unique needs of children on the spectrum—particularly those on what they term the “autism cliff”—and eager to help them smoothly transition from secondary educational placements to college and beyond--they are creating a residential transition program called Pathways to Purpose. The program is different than other programs in its approach to empower high-masking, neurodivergent young adults (18-26) in Pennsylvania—who are typically overlooked and “assumed fine”--with skills, support, and structure before burnout and other mental and physical health issues develop. Joining them on the episode is Nicholas Myers, Michele's son, who gives voice to the need for such a program. They are inviting help in establishing a steering committee to develop the program—financial advisors, counselors, educators--and they welcome you to connect with them: dhallman@approachadvisors.com, mbarrett132@comcast.net.

In this episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I'm joined once again by my son, Ethan, for another candid father-son conversation on navigating life, manhood, and building the skills that last a lifetime. As part of our August series on helping boys transition into strong, capable men, we dig into Ethan's experiences in work, relationships, and personal growth—and the lessons that come with them.   We talk about learning the value of hard work, handling failure without losing momentum, and why being intentional with your time can change everything. Ethan also opens up about balancing independence with staying connected to family, how to choose the right influences, and the importance of staying grounded in who you are—especially when life throws curveballs. Whether you're raising a son or trying to grow as a man yourself, this conversation is filled with practical wisdom, personal stories, and plenty of laughs along the way.     TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome and context for our August series on raising boys into men [2:15] - Ethan's reflections on his first real work experiences [5:04] - Learning self-reliance through challenges and problem-solving [8:12] - The importance of staying humble and teachable [11:30] - How to take responsibility without losing confidence [15:18] - Building resilience after setbacks and mistakes [18:40] - Choosing influences and friends that push you forward [21:53] - Balancing independence with strong family connection [25:17] - What it means to be intentional with your time and energy [28:34] - Handling the pressure to perform in work and life [32:56] - Using failures as fuel for growth and self-improvement [36:11] - The role of discipline in achieving long-term goals [40:00] - How gratitude changes your outlook and relationships [43:28] - Ethan's advice for young men starting their journey to adulthood [46:02] - Lessons learned from taking risks and stepping into uncomfortable situations [49:15] - Why adaptability is essential in both work and relationships [52:40] - The impact of mentorship and learning from older, wiser voices [56:22] - Strategies for keeping your mindset strong during setbacks [1:00:05] - How Ethan applies life lessons from sports into everyday decisions [1:03:30] - The importance of giving back and serving others as a sign of maturity [1:06:54] - Final reflections on becoming the kind of man you'd be proud to follow     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Hard Work Builds Character Real growth comes when you embrace responsibility, push through discomfort, and give your best—whether you're excited about the task or not.   2. Stay Teachable No matter how much you know, there's always something to learn. A teachable spirit keeps you adaptable and ready for opportunity.   3. Choose Your Circle Wisely The people you surround yourself with will either pull you forward or drag you down. Select influences who challenge and inspire you.   4. Resilience Comes From Recovery Everyone fails—but it's how quickly you get back up and how much you learn from it that determines your strength.   5. Intentional Living Creates Direction Without a plan, you drift. Being deliberate with your time, energy, and commitments gives you control over the man you're becoming.       LINKS & RESOURCES   thedadedge.com/presence Dad Edge Podcast Website: https://www.thedadedge.com Join The Alliance: https://www.thedadedge.com/alliance Listen to More Episodes: https://www.thedadedge.com/podcast 25 Questions to Spark Connection With Your Partner: https://www.thedadedge.com/25questions       If this episode inspired you or gave you a fresh perspective, please rate, follow, review, and share the podcast.

Drawing from years of hands-on parenting, they dive into the intentional strategies that shape children into healthy, resilient adults—especially in a world that's vastly different from the one they grew up in.Topics covered include:Why the goal is raising adults, not just managing childrenThe importance of skills like delayed gratification, perseverance, and planningHow to build family identity through phrases like “Vallottons tell the truth” and “Vallottons are helpers”Why today's parenting landscape is nothing like past generations—and what to do about itHow to establish healthy boundaries: what decisions your child makes on their own vs. with your inputA new way to view trust: as a developmental process, not just a reflection of characterWhy certain "non-negotiables" (like music or swim lessons) are actually gifts you give your childCreating rhythms and structure while your kids are still moldable—because character is built earlyWhether you're in the toddler trenches or navigating teenage independence, this conversation offers practical tools and timeless vision for parenting with the end in mind.

Read the full transcript here. What does autism feel like from the inside? Do autistic people lack empathy? What is context insensitivity? What are some ways special interests can manifest in autistic people? What are some less common ways stimming can manifest? What are the main components of autism? Can you be diagnosed with autism if you meet all the diagnostic criteria but didn't have any symptoms in childhood? Is autism only a problem in relation to neurotypical people? Is there a link between IQ and autism? What does the DSM fail to capture about autism? Is there some underlying commonality among all the seemingly disparate symptoms of autism? How have the label and diagnosis changed as the field of psychology has grown and improved? Thinking about autism as a spectrum is better than thinking about it as a binary, but is there an even better way to think about it? How does gender intersect with autism? How does ADHD intersect with autism? How valid is self-diagnosis? How can you better interact with autistic people in your life? What should you do if you think you might have autism?Dr. Megan Anna Neff is a clinical psychologist, author, and founder of Neurodivergent Insights. She is the author of Self-Care for Autistic People and The Autistic Burnout Workbook.
