Teaching, Training and Transformation: Malgorzata’s Journey Forward

What happens when language that works at home starts changing classrooms and systems. What if a one minute demo with an umbrella could stop symptom punishment faster than another meeting. What if a parent advocate was invited to help shape an international conference.

About This Episode

In this Part 2 of The FASD Success Show, I bring Malgorzata back from Poland to share what happened next. Invitations to schools and trainings took off. A new film for students was produced for nationwide use. She ran small room foster trainings that created big shifts. She was asked to moderate in Krakow and evaluate research abstracts. And at home her family kept doing the brave work of healing as her son began building real connections with his birth siblings.

Meet the Guest: Malgorzata

Malgorzata is the founder of FASmisja. What started as one mom searching for answers has grown into a national movement focused on prevention, practical education, and hope for families and professionals.

In This Episode You Will Hear

• How advocacy scaled from kitchen table to schools, conferences, and national prevention efforts

 • The student film project, which will Premiere 10.20.2025,  and why short, clear education can move a whole system

 • Simple teaching tools to borrow now including the umbrella activity and the  chin and cheek demo

 • Why modeling matters for adults and how kids copy what we do more than what we say

 • Choosing school fit over labels and the reality of integration settings in Poland

 • What changed most in a two day foster caregiver training with a small group

 • A powerful home story of grief and connection as her son visited his birth mother’s grave and chose to meet siblings

 • How she moved past imposter feelings by speaking from the heart and letting results do the talking

Why It Matters

Part 1 showed pain turning into purpose. Part 2 shows purpose turning into progress you can feel in classrooms and communities. You will get tools you can show, not just tell. You will see proof that systems can listen. You will leave steadier for hard conversations at home and clearer about small wins you can create this week.

👉 You are not alone. You have words that work. Small rooms change fast. Your modeling sets the tone.
