I’m thrilled to introduce you to Caleb Wolff-Perrotta, an 11-year-old skateboard coach who’s already running a mentorship business, dog walking, and babysitting—all to fund his dream week at Camp Woodward. We recorded this mini-episode on location at West Orange Skate Park, where Caleb teaches kids how to find their balance on and off the board. He started skating at three, fell in love with it, and never looked back. Entrepreneurship clearly runs in the family—Caleb is the son of Danielle Perrotta (our Episode 22 guest), and his drive is such a powerful example of what happens when passion meets support.

💡 What You’ll Hear:
🔹How Caleb became a skateboard coach at 11
🔹Why small jobs (like dog walking and babysitting) build confidence and savings
🔹The backstory of how a photo shoot sparked his love for skating at age three
🔹The plan he used to save for Camp Woodward
🔹A reminder that you’re never “too young” (or too early) to start

In this powerful episode of Heart of the Hustle, I sit down with educator, advocate, and neurodivergent mom Danielle Perrotta to talk about creating safe, inclusive spaces for neurodiverse kids. Danielle shares her deeply personal story—living with ADHD and bipolar disorder, raising a daughter with multiple diagnoses including autism and epilepsy, and building a business that helps youth programs become truly inclusive.

We talk candidly about the gaps in education and afterschool programming, the exhaustion of masking, and why “normal” is an outdated concept. Danielle brings both lived experience and professional insight to the conversation—and her work is changing the game for educators, parents, and program leaders.

🎧 Meet the Guest:
Danielle Perrotta is the founder of Different Minds, Strong Bonds, a consulting and advocacy organization dedicated to helping camps, enrichment programs, and youth organizations become neuro-affirming and inclusive.

Have You Ever Let Your Body Image Decide Your Worth?

I’ve been there. And so has my guest, Liz Hardy. For years, Liz lived in a cycle of obsession, comparison, and frustration with her body. She thought that once she hit her goal size, she’d finally feel happy. But even when she got there—it still wasn’t enough.

In this powerful conversation, Liz shares how God led her through a complete heart transformation—helping her break free from body image chains, put the scale away, and finally live with joy, peace, and purpose in her body at any size.

We talk about why your worth has nothing to do with a number, how to model healthy self-image for your kids, and the daily practices that can transform your relationship with your body from the inside out.
