In this episode of Light in the World, Dr. Julie Hayden explores how hope and a clear vision for the future can be the turning point in recovery from addiction, mental illness, trauma, and homelessness. She shares a powerful local reminder of restoration—the newly relit Fabulous Seven Motel sign at East County Transitional Living Center—and connects it to the work of helping lives and families rebuild. Dr. Hayden also reflects on insights from a recent White House summit on homelessness, addiction, and mental health, including the push for outcomes-focused programs and the role of consistent structure, support, and accountability in lasting change. If you or someone you love feels stuck in crisis mode, this conversation offers practical perspective—and a reminder that recovery is possible.
