This is an amazing broadcast about recovery from drug addiction. Shannon White is a courageous woman from Charlestown, Massachusetts. She grew up in one of Boston’s roughest neighborhoods, where the sounds of violence often echoed louder than words of love. Raised in a home marked by domestic abuse and emotional trauma, she learned early how heavy the weight of pain and survival could be. As a young girl, Shannon faced more than most adults ever will. The trauma of her upbringing eventually led her into a life of crime and addiction. By the time she became a young mother, she found herself lost in a cycle of substance abuse, trying to numb wounds that had never truly healed.

But Shannon’s story is not just one of struggle—it’s one of transformation. In the quiet aftermath of chaos, she found strength she didn’t know she had. Through faith, she discovered a new path, grounded in her belief in God and a burning desire to live differently, for herself and her child (children). With relentless determination, Shannon broke free from the chains of addiction and began rebuilding her life, piece by piece. She didn’t just survive—she healed.

Today, Shannon is a beacon of hope for those still fighting their battles. She founded the Trauma Response Team, a powerful group dedicated to helping others work through the devastating effects of trauma, addiction, and personal loss. Her mission is clear: to show people that no matter how deep the pain, no matter how far gone things may seem, recovery from loss is possible with a helping hand and someone's shoulder to cry on. Shannon's work is incredible. Also, Shannon's life is proof that from the darkest places, light can emerge—and that healing, with love, faith, and community, can change everything. Shannon is a true living light of God's grace and power.
