    In Part Two of The Colors of Mental Health, host Neholani Aird opens her heart even further, sharing what it was like to transition from advocate and educator to a mother living the very journey she once guided others through.


    She reflects on the whirlwind of early intervention in Georgia from Babies Cant Wait, to therapy sessions, to a pivotal experience at the Georgia Autism Center. With honesty and faith, Neholani recounts the emotional moment of diagnosis, the grief of letting go of the child she had imagined, and the sacred beauty of embracing the son God had intentionally designed.


    Through the lens of scripture, Disney movie melodies, and everyday miracles, this episode speaks to every parent learning to navigate a new reality with courage, grace, and gratitude.


    Its a story of surrender, strength, and the unexpected ways God shows up in the journey.
