Special Needs Diaries
Welcome to Special Needs Diaries.
Previously called How We... Special Needs, this podcast aims to open conversations around the world of Special Needs and how it transforms people, carers, families and communities.
I’m Minie Minarelli, an Italian special needs mum living in Sydney, sharing my personal diary as I walk alongside my daughter’s journey with Kabuki Syndrome. But this podcast isn’t just about us - it’s about us.
Through heartfelt stories, sometimes interviews with other special needs parents, and honest conversations, we’ll explore the challenges, victories, and emotions that come with raising extraordinary children. Together, we’ll share the tears, the laughter, and the questions we might be too afraid to ask.
Whether you’re part of the special needs community or simply curious about this roller coaster called life, you’re welcome here. This podcast offers a raw, relatable, and unconventional window into the world of disabilities, genetic conditions, and medical families.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback along the way. So feel free to reach out to me on social media at My kabuki Girl, or on the website www.mykabukigirl.com
Let’s celebrate the love, strength, and stories that make this journey unforgettable. 💚

Welcome to the first episode of How We...Special Needs! 🌟 I dedicate it to my beautiful daughter, Beatrice, as she celebrates her 2nd birthday. I reflect on the challenges and triumphs of her first two years—open-heart surgery at 8 days old, endless hospital stays, therapies, and milestones we’ve celebrated together.
What a journey, guys!
🎉 Join me as I shout “Hip Hip Hooray!” for Beatrice and set the tone for what’s to come on this podcast.
