Join us for a new Deep Dive edition of Kitchen Table Conversations, where with the help of technology and our amazing team, we are able to provide an audio overview and a close look at the key learning points within her first book, A Complicated and Beautiful Brain.

This conversation explores what Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) can look like across the lifespan — in children, teens, and adults — and why understanding the brain matters more than judging behaviour.

Through real stories and compassionate insight, Angela helps listeners recognize that these challenges are neurodevelopmental in nature and not simply ‘choices’ made. The episode highlights the urgent need to learn more, as FASD is far more common than most people realize.

The book itself goes even deeper, offering strategies, research, and interactive QR codes that connect readers directly to evidence-based tools and lived experiences.

Listen, reflect, and be inspired to learn more — because when we know better, we do better.
