In this episode of The FASD Success Show, I sit down with Mike and Crystal, a couple who have been through the wringer raising four kids—all on the FASD spectrum. They open up about their darkest moments and the journey that brought them from surviving on the edge to finding peace and understanding.

Crystal shares how she was on the verge of running away, feeling overwhelmed and without support. But through education and connection, they found the tools to change their family dynamics. Now, their home feels calmer, and they have the confidence to tackle even the toughest days.

Tune in to learn about:

  • The Breaking Point: Crystal’s raw honesty about feeling like she might leave it all behind—and how she turned things around.
  • Creating Peace in the Chaos: How Mike and Crystal learned to manage behaviors and meltdowns without letting their home spiral out of control.
  • From Survival to Thriving: Discover how understanding FASD on a deeper level allowed them to parent with compassion and less stress.
  • The Power of Community: Why finding others who get what you’re going through can be a game-changer for caregivers.

This episode is packed with hope, real-life strategies, and inspiration. If you’re feeling burnt out or stuck, Mike and Crystal’s story will show you that change is possible.
