Our hearts are heavy that Episode 163 is the final episode of FASD Hope from Natalie Vecchione, who says, “Thank you for listening to our small but mighty family podcast about FASD. We're certainly not experts and we're still on this journey, too. It’s now time for us to focus even more on our family, navigate what lies ahead, and face uncertainty with faith and fortitude.”
