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.

FASD Awareness Month Special: CanFASD Updates + See Jeff Live
FASD Awareness Month Special: CanFASD Updates + See Jeff Live
Awareness isn’t just hashtags or red shoes. It’s what we do with that awareness that counts.
In this special episode of The FASD Success Show, I sit down with Kathy Unsworth (the new Executive Director of CanFASD) and Audrey McFarlane (who has been a champion of mine since day one).
We talk about the new Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS) report, the leadership transition at CanFASD, the National FASD Framework Bill, and the 2025 National Conference in Toronto. Plus — I share some brand-new stats that put FASD in perspective globally, not just in Canada.
And if that wasn’t enough I’m taking the FASD Success Show LIVE this fall in Edmonton, Calgary, and Toronto.
Meet the Guests: Kathy & Audrey
Kathy and Audrey need no introduction if you’re in the FASD community. But what makes this episode special is hearing both of them together the new boss and the former boss talking openly about transition, challenges, and what it takes to keep pushing this movement forward.
Audrey reflects on the CAHS report and why having everything consolidated matters. Kathy shares honestly about stepping into a big, overwhelming new role something caregivers know all too well.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why the CAHS report isn’t about surprises, but about validation and leverage.
- The seven big stats that show how massive FASD really is, in Canada and worldwide.
- How Kathy relates her new leadership role to the reality of caregivers becoming the “CEO” at home.
- Updates on the National FASD Framework Bill — and why advocacy can’t stop now.
- A preview of the 2025 Toronto National FASD Conference: where science meets the street.
- Details on the FASD Success Show Live in Edmonton, Calgary, and Toronto.
Why It Matters
Awareness isn’t confetti it’s clarity. This episode is about naming what’s real, telling the truth, and pairing it with solutions. From global stats to personal stories, from research reports to lived experience, the message is the same:
👉 You are not alone. What you’re doing matters. And together, we can keep pushing for more good days.
