Oh my goodness, this was such a rich and inspiring conversation and I now cannot WAIT to go through Toni's debut book ‘You (A Beginner's Guide)' - with Toni's Shelf-Help community.In fact before I say anything more, order your copy of ‘You' BEFORE 26th MAY - it is a limited edition and you won't get a chance to get on your hands on it after that!If you haven't come across Toni Jones before, she is a former journalist turned bibliotherapist and the founder of the Shelf Help Club - the world's first dedicated self-help book club, which has been running for almost a decade.And over the past ten years she's read 1,000+ self-help books (yes. ONE THOUSAND), interviewed hundreds of authors and wellbeing experts, and built a global community inspiring 25,000+ to read, reflect, and apply self-development. And now she has written a book - published by the brilliant The Pound Project - called YOU (The Beginner's Guide), which distils the most important lessons from that decade immersed in the world of self-help. But not only that, she herself has developed a three-step framework designed to help people get to know themselves better and design lives they get to really enjoy - and hearing her talk about this three-step framework got me so excited to read and DO the book.So dive in and join us for this juicy conversation - my first Substack Live! There are a few moments where the internet glitches a little - but I guess that is the nature of LIVE recordings and it doesn't take away from the power of the conversation. Thank you Eva Lydon

It's about yours. In this episode you'll discover:→ Why protecting yourself from a parent feels like betrayal — and why it isn't→ How empathy and firm limits can exist in the same heart at the same time→ What “forgiveness without being a doormat” actually looks like in real life→ How one person breaking a pattern frees the generations that follow→ Why it is never — ever — too late to choose your peace Raw.

The modern church has reduced the Bible to little more than a self-help book—but nothing could be further from the truth. David understood this and mapped it out for us—even more, Paul understood this and charged Timothy and all Bible teachers to never forget the absolute gravity of this, God’s Word…
Send us Fan MailYour job title can feel like armour, right up until it disappears and you're left asking a scary question: who am I without it? We sit down with Toni, a bibliotherapist and founder of the Shelf Help book club, to talk about burnout, identity, and the moment self-help stops being something you roll your eyes at and becomes something you genuinely need.Toni shares how years in high-pressure tabloid journalism fuelled a relentless pace, and how stepping away brought an unexpected crash in confidence and self-worth. From her first self-help read at 38 to building an online community that discusses personal development books and interviews authors, she's learned that the goal is not “fixing yourself”. It's getting to know yourself, building self-compassion, and making choices with intention rather than habit.We also dig into the structure behind his pocket-sized book, You, The Beginner's Guide: looking back at what shaped you, looking forward at who you're becoming, then supporting your present with habits, routines, rituals, and boundaries. Along the way, we explore three powerful quotes that anchor the work, the hidden cost of hyper-independence, and why doing this in community can change everything, including how your nervous system feels day to day.If you enjoy honest conversations about self-help, bibliotherapy, burnout recovery, and building a healthier relationship with yourself, press play.

New findings from USC just detailed a statistical nightmare for parents: Federal data confirms that 71% of schools are currently overwhelmed by a record-breaking spike in "acting out" and student anxiety. The fallout is a disaster for literacy. Students struggling with these emotional hurdles score 11 percentile points lower on tests than their peers. The bottom line: You can't teach a child to read if they don't know how to handle a tantrum first. Joy Berry is the "Inventor of Self-Help for Kids" who provides the literal manual for this crisis. With 85 million books sold, she replaces "acting out" with self-reliance. Joy can provide expert commentary on: The "Tantrum-to-Textbook" Bridge: Why kids literally cannot learn to read while their brains are in "fight or flight" mode. The 11-Point Crash: Why traditional discipline is failing the 71% and how "Living Skills" (honesty, self-control, and responsibility) are the only way to bridge the academic gap. The Post-Pandemic Panic: How to identify the 3 specific skills kids lost during lockdown—and the step-by-step tools to get them back. Joy is available to show your audience how to move families from "crisis mode" back to learning. About Joy Berry Joy Berry is known as “The Inventor of Self Help Books for Kids,” with more than 200 titles and over 85 million copies sold worldwide. Her work teaches children how to replace negative behavior with responsibility, self control, and real world decision making. She has spent decades developing clear, step by step guidance that helps kids actually change their behavior. A former educator with advanced degrees in Education and Human Development, Joy's approach is built on one principle: teach children how to think so they can function independently.

You're still showing up. But are you leading with clarity — or just holding it together? Take 15 minutes to reflect with the Christian Leader® Self-Assessment — a simple tool to help you see what's really working... and what's quietly wearing you out. It's free!https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment Ryan shares a perspective on time management that reshaped his leadership more than any productivity system or self-help book ever could. Drawing directly from Scripture and personal experience, Ryan explains why most pastors and leaders do not struggle with time because they lack discipline, but because they lack clarity and vision. He walks through how vision drift quietly happens, why busyness is a poor measure of obedience, and how biblical stewardship reframes time as a servant to calling, not an enemy to fight. You will hear how clarifying God-given vision, creating intentional rhythms, and focusing on faithful next steps can restore energy, peace, and direction. This episode is for leaders who feel full, faithful, and yet quietly scattered, and are ready for alignment instead of overload.Purchase Christian Leader Sight Planner (a tool that has drastically changed Ryan's productivity): Black Cover – https://amzn.to/3JpBHvm Blue Cover – https://amzn.to/4ouFRB9 Green Cover – https://amzn.to/4oXVLUrPurchase The Christian Leader Blueprint book today: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprintbookConnect with Ryan: Email: info@ryanfranklin.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rnfranklin/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rnfranklin/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rnfranklin/ Website: https://www.ryanfranklin.org Audio mastering by Apostolic Audio: https://www.apostolic-audio.com#leadership, #thoughtleadership, #ministry, #pastor, #pastors, #churches, #leadershiptraining, #churchleader, #churchleaders, #influence, #leadershipdevelopment, #coaching, #executivecoach, #leadershipcoaching, #productivitycoach, #productivity, #growthmindset, #theproductiveleader, #ChristianLeader, #ChristianLeadership, #LeadershipPodcast, #FaithAndBusiness, #PodcastInterview, #ChristianEntrepreneurship, #KingdomImpact, #PodcastInspiration, #LeadershipJourney, #PurposeDriven, #ChristianPodcast, #LeadershipEssentials, #LeadershipFundamentalsSend a text

This last solo episode of the year is dedicated to my parents — to my mother, who passed away in February, and to my father, who is about to turn 91.I share honestly about my relationship with my parents: the conflicts, the distance, the pain — and the healing that came much later.I speak about growing up with an authoritarian father and a mother who struggled with boundaries, about feeling unseen and emotionally overwhelmed, and about living for a long time in victim mode without realizing that I had a choice.This episode is not about blaming parents. It's about understanding, compassion, and truth.I share what my parents gave me — both through their love and through their limitations: security, curiosity, culture, creativity, work ethic, and the impulse to grow emotionally and choose a different path.At its heart, this episode is about meaning. About how we can change the story we tell ourselves. And how this shift can free us from long-held suffering.If you feel stuck in old pain, it's an invitation to see your story from a new angle. If you're ready to gently rewrite your story, book a free one-on-one coaching.Thank you for listening and for being here.BOOKS:
