Let’s Plant Houses

What happens when fatherhood asks you to put your career on hold and trust that your family will find a way forward? In this episode about caregiving, disability, and fatherhood, Kirby Rabalais shares how raising a child with a rare genetic condition reshaped his priorities and his purpose. Families living with neurodivergence often carry invisible work every single day. Kirby reminds us that real life is more complex than most systems recognize, and that support must be practical, flexible, and human. Kirby opens up about stepping back from his career to become his son’s primary caregiver, and how that season changed his life in the best way. From that experience, he founded Got4titude, a support community for fathers raising children with disabilities. His story shows that when families share what they are living, new ideas grow, new support takes shape, and meaningful change becomes possible.
