FASD Hope is a podcast series about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), through the lens of parent advocates with over eighteen years of lived experience.
On this 23rd episode of FASD Hope, Natalie Vecchione (podcast host) makes a new friend in guest Sara Swan, who is the founder of Looking Forward Life Coaching. Looking Forward Life Coaching is a non-profit organization that provides person centered life coaching (and the only life coaching organization for individuals with an FASD). Sara has been teaching for over 20 years and her specialty throughout her extensive, teaching career has been transitioning students in special education out of high school and into the community. She has also mentored several high school and college-age individuals as they headed into adulthood and she still remains a part of their lives. Sara is the guardian of her uncle, who is a person with intellectual disabilities, and she helps him make decisions to better the quality of his life. Sara created Looking Forward Life Coaching because she saw a need for her students, who were falling between the cracks. She wanted to help guide individuals as they navigate life. Looking Forward Life Coaching changes the stumbling blocks of life into stepping stones towards success.
In this engaging and very lively conversation, Sara and Natalie explore the following topics: Sara's personal and professional background, what led her to open Looking Forward Life Coaching, how she learned about FASD, person-centered approach to life coaching (and caregiving), her hopes for the FASD Community and her goals for 2021.
"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." - John 15:13
