Random Caretaker Podcasts

Hi! We’re Rich and Hilary, and we have a daughter with special needs named Jane. Loving someone with disabilities can be a rocky journey! We want listeners with special needs loved ones to know they’re not alone. We also want to help listeners outside of the special needs lifestyle not feel too awkward about it. Because let’s be honest, special needs can get SUPER weird. So whether you’re a caretaker or just want to learn more, remember – it’s okay to laugh!
