FASD Family Life

Welcome to Season 3 of the FASD Family Life Podcast. I am your host, Robbie Seale. I am an FASD educator, advocate and mom of five incredible people; including three teens diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. If my 30 years of parenting has taught me anything it is that the struggle is real and so is success. This third season of the FASD Family Life podcast is a lot of fun. It's called MomTalk. I invited other mom's raising children and youth with FASD to join me for a coffee and a chat about real life, real struggles and real successes. It is my hope that by listening to our conversations you have the sense that you are not alone; we all get things wrong and we find out that when we know better we can do better.SUBSCRIBE NOW so you never miss an episode of FASD Family Life.Please join me and my special guest Jillana Goble for a nice hot cup of coffee we we talk about complicated mothering, hope and the gift of grae and perspective our children have taught us.  Jillana is the mother of 5 children and has recently released her debut memoir called, A Love-Stretched LifeStories on Wrangling Hope, Embracing the Unexpected, and Discovering the Meaning of FamilyThis life is real and complicated, messy, colorful, good, exhausting, and exhilarating—often simultaneously.  It's easy to feel overburdened by life's demands. Looking out into the world as well as under the roof of our home may cause us to question, “How did we get here? And how will we get through?”Jillana Goble has been there. With honesty, faith, and a dose of humor, her debut memoir, A Love-Stretched Life, chronicles what she's continually learning on the suspension bridge between reality and hope. A mom via foster care, birth, and adoption—in that order—for nearly two decades, Jillana has experienced life's curveballs. Her come-as-you-are posture amidst a daily reality far different than she ever imagined reassures you that you're not alone if your life isn't tidily wrapped in a bow.* * * * * *Thank you to my friend and fellow podcaster, Natalie Veccione of FASD Hope podcast for introducing Jillana and I to one another.

"Fighting for a Future: Where We Were and Where We Are Now" 8th International FASD Conference, University of British Columbia Continuing Education. 2019; Canada FASD Research Network; Health Canada, 2017. FASD is a complex, lifelong neurodevelopmental disability caused by Prenatal Alcohol Exposure (PAE) to the developing brain and body of an unborn child. The disabilities caused by this exposure fall under the umbrella of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). FASD is a brain-based, whole body disorder with behavioral symptoms, resulting in a broad range of cognitive, behavioral, social-emotional, health, adaptive functioning and learning deficits. These issues last across the lifespan. There are over 400 comorbid health diagnoses that accompany FASD's (Popova, S. et. al, "Comorbidity of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis" , The Lancet, (2016). FASD is a disability that occurs on a spectrum, like Autism; 90% of individuals affected by an FASD do not have the better known Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), rather they have an INVISIBLE DISABILITY that most often goes misdiagnosed or undiagnosed.In February 2018, The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published a study, led by University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill researcher, Phillip May, Ph.D. This study estimated the prevalence of FASD among FASD in communities in the US to be up to 1 in 20. For select populations, such as Foster Care, Adoption, International Adoption and Juvenile Justice, the prevalence of FASDs is exponentially higher. No amount of alcohol is safe during pregnancy.
