Why Do We Care? | The Podcast - Rachel Mirabito

Why Do We Care? is an honest, raw and unfiltered podcast about what it really means to care for a loved one with disability, mental illness, or neurodivergence.


Hosted by Rachel Mirabito - known to many as Benji’s Mum - this show brings together parent carers, professionals, and people with lived experience for real conversations about the challenges, joys, and everyday realities of caring for someone you love. No polished scripts, no pretending it’s easy - just honest talk about what caring actually looks like, and why we do it, with a dash of hope in every episode.

Whether you’re a parent carer navigating a new diagnosis, a professional working alongside families, or someone with lived experience who wants to feel less alone - this is a space to listen, learn, and be understood.
