Our passion

Hope • Support • Direction

Little Light of Mine provides compassionate, individualized, non-clinical support to individuals and families navigating life’s challenges and transitions. We walk alongside each person with understanding, encouragement, and practical guidance as they work toward greater stability, hope, and independence.


The Heart Behind Our Mission

My name is Shawna, and Little Light of Mine is rooted in my personal journey of recovery, resilience, rebuilding, and service. Since beginning my recovery journey on September 10, 2021, I have experienced the transformative power of rebuilding relationships, strengthening my well-being, reconnecting with my community, and finding purpose through helping others. I believe our experiences can become a source of hope and guidance when we use what we’ve learned to help others find stability, resources, and a path forward.


From Surviving to Serving

My story includes experiences that many of the individuals and families I serve may understand personally. I have experienced abuse, violence, homelessness, exploitation, trafficking, and significant mental health challenges, and I understand the courage it takes to rebuild stability, wellness, and connection.

These experiences do not define me, but they have shaped the compassion, patience, and understanding I bring to this work. As a mother and a person in recovery, I know what it means to feel overwhelmed—and what it means to begin rebuilding.

Recovery is more than sobriety. It is the journey of healing, growth, connection, and creating a life of purpose.


For many people, rebuilding may also mean:


“There is no one-size-fits-all path to healing and growth. We believe every person deserves support that honors their unique journey.”


Professional Qualifications:

Beyond the Professional 

I am pursuing an Associate degree in Social Work, with plans to continue my education toward becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). My experience includes peer recovery and behavioral health support, advocacy, resource navigation, employment readiness, and life-skills support—helping individuals build greater stability and independence.


What Sets Us Apart 

Sometimes people don’t need someone to light the entire path ahead—they simply need enough light to take the next step. That is the heart of Little Light of Mine.

We provide hope when the path feels uncertain, support when the journey feels difficult, and guidance when it’s hard to know where to turn. We believe every individual deserves to be treated with dignity, heard without judgment, and supported with compassion as they work toward greater stability, independence, and a life of purpose.


From Recovery to Purpose

These photographs capture two very different moments in my journey—from my first 10 days of sobriety to the life I have built through recovery, growth, and service. The journey happened one small step at a time, reminding me that where you are today does not have to determine where your story ends.

At Little Light of Mine, we believe everyone deserves compassionate support, dignity, and guidance as they find their next step.
