The podcast is an extension of Lawson’s “The SonRise Project,” an online space she created for parents of children struggling with mental wellness that was inspired by her family’s personal experiences with addiction and depression with their eldest son. She realized that many other parents were feeling powerless and needed a place to turn for guidance, conversation, support and help, and “TheSonRise Project” was born.

“The SonRise Project” is presented by the team behind Oprah’s “Super Soul” podcast, and will be available on all major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pandora, Stitcher, SiriusXM, IHeartRadio and Amazon Music, and listeners can subscribe HERE.

Kelli Richardson Lawson will also appear on “Speak Sis” airing September 28 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on OWN.
