201: Life After Hurt

Savannah gets real about some of the biggest lessons she’s been learning in this season of her life. From realizing that women’s empowerment doesn’t mean getting a free pass, to choosing her peace over constantly defending herself, Savannah opens up about the ways she’s had to grow, reflect, and rethink some of the things she once believed. Savannah talks about loving people from a distance, forgiving people who never asked for forgiveness, and the difference between healthy distance and holding onto resentment. She also takes a hard look at the way we use the word “boundaries,” why she thinks they’ve been weaponized, and how learning to see them as limits has changed her perspective on relationships. She gets especially honest about friendships that don’t survive every season of life, perfectionism, and the pressure she’s put on herself to always be better. Looking back at some of the hardest years of her life, Savannah reflects on the anger she carried, the grace she didn’t feel like she was receiving, and how learning to give grace has helped her become a happier and more fulfilled version of herself. This is a vulnerable conversation about growth, forgiveness, relationships, faith, and finding out that there really is life on the other side of hurt and trauma. Savannah also shares a little more about the self-reflection that has come with writing her memoir and the lessons she wishes she had learned sooner.
