About this podcast

This Is Special Needs is a narrative interview podcast centered on lived experience. Each episode features a special needs parent sharing what daily life really looks like, the love, the advocacy, the exhaustion, the systems, and the humanity often missing from public conversations. This is not a clinical or instructional show. It’s a space for listening, understanding, and connection. Through honest, long-form conversations, the podcast offers insight into the realities families navigate behind closed doors, long before moments are misunderstood, judged, or made public. Created to build awareness, understanding, and grace, This Is Special Needs invites listeners to see families more clearly and consider how communities, professionals, and systems can show up more thoughtfully for the people of tomorrow.
