FASD Family Life
FASD Family Life podcast is where we get REAL about raising children and youth with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. I am Robbie Seale, the host and producer of the FASD Family Life Podcast. I'm so glad that you found this podcast.
I am not a social worker or a psychologist. I am a mom who snuck into conferences, scoured the internet, read books, attended for webinars and workshops because I was desperate to learn everything I could about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and trauma. Why? Because my family was in crisis!
What I learned changed EVERYTHING!
I want to share what I learned with you, parent to parent. I know the struggle is real, and so is success! To hear my story listen to season 1, episode 10.
The FASD Family Life podcast will encourage, educate, and equip you to become a confident caregiver of your loved one with FASD and trauma. You will discover the source of challenging behaviours, how to care for yourself amid the stress, and learn practical strategies to improve life for you and your loved one with FASD.
If you have a comment or a question email me at FASDFamilyLife@gmail.com.
I'd love to hear from you!

MomTalk with Betty Cornelius of CanGrands
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 Betty Cornelius for a nice hot cup of coffee as we talk about REAL LIFE for the reality 75,000+ Canadian Grandparents who are raising their grand children. Betty Cornelius is the mother of 2 sons, 3 granddaughters, 32 foster and founder of CANGRANDS NATIONAL KINSHIP SUPPORT. Betty says, "Knowing I am loved by my grand DAUGHTER makes the sun shine in my life!"
Betty Cornelius is the founder of CANGRANDS KINSHIP NATIONAL SUPPORT, a national grass roots organization providing information and support to the 62, 500 kinship children being raised by grandparents and other kinship family members. Betty provides encouragement, moral, and emotional support to kinship families. She has her finger on the pulse of any Parliamentary Bills that effect kinship families such as Bill 210, Bill 67 as well as medical, parenting, legal and or political issues. Betty is a warrior and strong advocate for kin-children and kin-headed households having been denied access to one grandchild or rescuing another from an abusive situation.
She also established the first Kinship Conference and Camp in Canada which has become a lifeline for kinship caregivers. This event gathered 70 isolated and marginalized kinship families with the youngest grandchild is under 2 and the oldest in their 80's together for a week of education and fun.
