This podcast episode is perhaps the most important one I have ever been a part of.   **I want to warn you now that it has a trigger warning.  I also cry the whole way through it.  It isn't an easy topic to tackle but it is an important one.  In this heartfelt episode, Tony and Cassi open up about the journey of creating Anthony's Way in memory of their beloved son, Anthony. Tragically lost at eighteen due to an impulsive act, Anthony's legacy lives on through this nonprofit dedicated to empowering children and teenagers with ADHD. Anthony's Way stands out by building a comprehensive and seamless care model. It unites ADHD coaches, educational advocates, tutors, nutritionists, health and fitness professionals, social skills trainers, and academic advisors—all under one mission. Their goal is to ensure that every child with ADHD has the opportunity to thrive by accessing the tailored support they need. Tony and Cassi share touching anecdotes about their journey with Anthony, illustrating just how integral kindness and acceptance were to his character and their family life. Their story is a testament to how powerful it can be to see the strengths in the ADHD brain and to offer the right guidance and support. We encourage you to listen to this powerful episode to gain deeper insight into the incredible work Tony and Cassi are doing.
