In this powerful episode of Collaborative Solutions, we sit down with Hannah Bolton, founder of the Cardinal Housing Network—a recovery housing program born from heartbreak and transformed into healing. After losing her brother Sam to addiction, Hannah channeled her grief into purpose, creating a safe, supportive space for women in early recovery right in the heart of Lawrence.
Joined by Misty Bosch-Hastings and James Chiselom, we explore the gaps in our local recovery system, the importance of community-based solutions, and what it takes to turn personal tragedy into collective hope. Hannah’s story is a moving reminder that change doesn’t start with systems—it starts with people.
