Welcome to the FASD Family Life Podcast. This is the 105th episode of THE show for caregivers by a caregiver. I am 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.

First we need to begin with a foundational understanding that our hopes and expectations for a happy, calm, picture perfect family Christmas run counter to reality for most people. Christmas is a challenging time for many people for many reasons including financial stress, seasonal depression, painful memories, unmet expectations, and the loss of loved ones. It's okay to not-be-okay.

This season I am speaking with researchers, service providers and individuals with FASD around the world. This week I am in Canada to tell you about a new research project examining Prenatal Alcohol and Neuroimmunity.
This week I am thrilled to share the mic with Brock University Assistant Professor, Charlis Raineki, Ph.d and Tamara Bodnar, PhD. Research Associate from the University of British Columbia. They are here to tell us all about a new Canadian FASD Research project called Prenatal Alcohol and Neuroimmunity.

Welcome to the FASD Family Life Podcast. I am 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. I hope that by sharing my experiences with you that you will no longer feel alone on your journey raising your children with FASD.This podcast is supported solely by listeners like you. Consider being a monthly sponsor. Your gift of $5, $10, or $20 each month helps me to keep producing great content for parents and caregivers around the world. Support the show.This week my special guest is Dr. Jody Carrington. She is a renowned psychologist sought after for her expertise, energy and approach to helping people solve their most complex human-centred challenges. Jody focuses much of her work around reconnection – the key to healthy relationships.

A speaker, author, and leader of Carrington & Company, she uses all she has been taught in her twenty-year career as a psychologist to empower everyone she connects with. Jody has worked with kids, families, business leaders, first responders, teachers, farmers and has spoken in church basements and world-class stages; the message remains the same – our power lies in our ability to acknowledge each other first.

Her approach is authentic, honest and often hilarious. She speaks passionately about resilience, mental health, leadership, burnout, grief and trauma – and how reconnection is the answer to so many of the root problems we face. Her wildly popular book, Kids These Days, was published in 2019 and has sold 150,000 copies worldwide. Jody’s message is as simple as it is complex: we are wired to do the hard things, but we were never meant to do any of this alone. https://www.drjodycarrington.com/books-2/
