The FASD Success Show
Jeff Noble thought he knew all about FASD... until he became a full time FASD Foster Parent. Fast forward to now. Jeff has been coast to coast and from one side of the earth to the other talking, teaching and learning about FASD with other Caregivers, Front Line Staff and anyone who might sit and listen to him. In The FASD SUCCESS SHOW, Jeff and his gang of FASD Insiders will talk about FASD in a real way so that you can learn how to deal and cope with FASD in REAL life, to be a better advocate and a more confident caregiver. Jeff is going to tackle all the hot topics like FASD and aggression, sleep, hygiene, the education system, meltdowns and working with professionals. Pretty much all the things you need to know so that you can focus on being a happy, balanced caregiver. Jeff will make you laugh, he will make you think, but mostly he will give you hope that you CAN do this. Hit subscribe and get ready to transform into the FASD Caregiver you know you can be.

#131 How to REALLY Survive the Holidays (+ the future of our show)
We are back! What a whirlwind the last couple of months has been! In this return episode, I let you know where we have been, what we have been doing, and what the future of the show is, but more importantly for right now for you I am giving a mini-coaching session all about how to navigate not only this season but anytime there is a holiday or shift in routine and structure.
How are you holding up? Many of the caregivers in our Facebook Group and Coaching Course are feeling the strain. You may be burnt out but so are our kids. Even my daughter, who is neurotypical. Add in the disability, seasonal depression, or trauma (for you or your kids) and we have an assault on our nervous systems. Tune in to hear the collective wisdom from my team and the families I work with on how to navigate this season. I dig deep and share:
- questions to ask and prompts to center yourself if you are struggling
- quick suggestions to help ease transitions and changes
- a new way to respond to the negative voices when you or others think our kids are missing out
I also share how my family shifted to create new traditions that reduced anxiety and pressure on everyone in our celebrations. Some of our kids can manage the season (and that’s great), and some only require minor tweaks to traditions and routines (fantastic) … but for others, to survive this season, you really need to ask yourself some tough questions. Because can we ask our kids to extend their functioning beyond their current ability and expect traditional outcomes? I don’t have all the answers, but I do have ideas and questions you can ask yourself to find answers that work for your family.
Oh, and about the Show and where it’s going? I will give you all the details on that, so you are going to want to tune in!
From all of us at FASD Success, whatever you are or are not celebrating during this time of year, I hope you find more good days and success. Thank you for tuning in this year and making The FASD Success Show one of the top 5% most shared globally (according to Spotify)! That is all down to you, the listener! Thank you for sharing your time with us and The Show with others!
