Shana [00:01:51]:
Welcome back to the Creative Minute. I am Shana Yurko and I have Savannah here with me today and I cannot wait for her to introduce herself and for us to dive into a really epic creative conversation today. She is someone who helps women come back to themselves. They're like through a mind, body, soul, alignment and we were just chatting real quick before we hopped on this interview and I was like, okay, so what do you teach people in your paid programs? Like, I really want to dive into your expertise. I want to know more about you. And she just started, like, spouting off all this stuff. I was like, okay, wait, we need to hit record. So, Savannah, for anyone who doesn't know you, can you please introduce yourself, tell us a little bit about you and what you do?

Savannah Robertson [00:02:31]:
Yeah. My name is Savannah Robertson, and I'm the founder of Love Your Body now, which is currently a clothing brand that really helps women, reminds women of their own inherent worth. So all of our designs, like, we have our take up space design, we have a worthy design, and it's really geared towards helping women have that reminder that you're worthy just because you are. Recently, the brand has really started to expand in ways that I didn't even know was, like, going to come out in me. But currently working on in person events. So I actually have my first big event this Saturday. So we're doing that. It's called Women who Heal.

Savannah Robertson [00:03:11]:
But also working on launching a mentorship and retreat for women that, like, we, like you mentioned, is all about coming back to you, reconnecting back to yourself, mind, body and soul, and working with the subconscious, working with the nervous system to really reconnect back to our inner, inner child. Because ultimately, like the inner child, we know we are worthy. We don't question our worth or why we are here or our purpose here. We get away from that as we get older. So my goal and my mission is to help women come back to themselves so that they can step into that energy and really embody that.

Shana [00:03:49]:
Oh, my God, obsessed. I'm so excited to, like, pick your brain about all these things. I'm, like, writing questions furiously as we're chatting about things that I want to talk about. And I'm sure our listeners will want to, too. First, the first thing that's, like, screaming at me that you said is the inner child stuff. I love inner child work. And I've only done it, like, a little bit here and there, like whenever, either prompted by a therapist or in a guided meditation kind of setting. But you mentioned reconnecting with your inner child.

Shana [00:04:17]:
And I don't know, I feel like I am a child in my life all the time. But anytime someone has taken me through that work, I always cry. It's always so. It feels so great. And you're like, oh, my God, yes. I'm telling little Shana what she needed to hear at that time. So, like, talk to me about maybe an experience that you had either reconnecting with your inner child or a really powerful one that a client has had any of the above. Talk to me about that.

Savannah Robertson [00:04:42]:
Yeah, I actually had a recent realization with my inner child. And we, you and I both were at an event recently where I got to speak on stage for the first time. And it wasn't until a couple weeks after that I had this realization that when we're little kids, like, it's crazy when you ask a little kid what they want to be when they grow up, they always have an answer. They always know. And it's because they're so connected within. They may not get it perfectly right, but, like, they know what they are meant to be doing. And when I was a little kid, I. And this is something I didn't even want to share, like, when people.

Savannah Robertson [00:05:22]:
Icebreakers are like, oh, what did you want to be when you were a little. When you were a little kid? And I never actually spoke the truth of what it was, but I always had said, wanted to be, like, a rock star. I wanted to be on stages. I wanted to be famous. And I thought that before my realization, I thought that that was so silly. I'm like, you know, like, that's not, you know, whatever. Well, being on stage at that event, I'm like, oh, my gosh. Like, it lit me up in a way that I had not felt for so long.

Savannah Robertson [00:05:49]:
And it was like, oh, my gosh. Like, it's because my little inner child in me knew that that's what lights me up. That's my passion. And it may not be me singing on stage, but I still love singing. I still love dancing. I don't necessarily want to do it on stage in front of hundreds of people, but I love speaking on stages. And it made me realize that incorporating those things in my life, giving myself a platform to be in front of people, allowing myself to sing and dance in a way that maybe it's just at home or maybe it's with friends, is how I can feel connected to my inner child and give my inner child what it needs. And I think that we all need to find that as.

Savannah Robertson [00:06:30]:
As we're reconnecting and really figure out what lights you up, because it's lighting up that inner child.

Shana [00:06:36]:
God, I love that. So, like, that's such a tangible takeaway, too, for anyone who's listening is just like, imagine what you loved when you were a little kid and. Or what you wanted to be. And how can you, like, go out and do that right now? Not like, okay, I'm gonna build a 10 step plan and go achieve this thing and become famous. But like, really harnessing what you loved about like being on stage, dancing and feeling that joy, I'm. I'm obsessed also. Real quick, want to rewind. We did get to both speak at the same event just a few weeks ago and it was so empowering.

Shana [00:07:09]:
I loved listening to your story, friend. I feel like you have, you and I have very similar, sort of similar paths and things we've had to kind of overcome. And I'm obsessed with your clothes. I will make sure to include those in the clip show notes too. Like anytime we can have an affirmation or something that reminds us that we're worthy exactly as we are, I'm here for it. So please, friends, walk, don't run, or run, don't walk to go get your love, your body, now merch. Thank you for sharing that. About the inner child stuff.

Shana [00:07:40]:
I love that you're like talking about the joy aspect of it. Because everything that I've done with inner child is always like, gut wrenching.

Savannah Robertson [00:07:46]:
Yeah.

Shana [00:07:46]:
Okay. Go back to this point in time during this trauma you experienced and tell your inner child what she needed to hear at that time. And I'm like, yep. So I really love the, the joyful tone that we're taking.

Savannah Robertson [00:08:01]:
Yeah. And you may not know exactly, like, when I was, I was doing an exercise not that long ago of like, what did I like to do when I was a little kid and I was kind of struggling with, like, I don't really remember. And like, I asked my mom and you don't necessarily need to like, like, let's. For example, I played Barbies. Like, okay, well, I'm not gonna play Barbies today. Like, that's not what I do. But it's like, yeah, it's like, what did that give me? And it's like, well, I was using my imagination. Like, I was allowing myself to just like go with the flow.

Savannah Robertson [00:08:35]:
And it's like, okay, what can I do today that gives me those same feelings, like you said, where it's like, gives you joy. It's like identifying what those things you did as a little kid gave you and how you can give yourself that today.

Shana [00:08:47]:
God. I think that's something that so many of us are missing as adults. Like, I don't know. So when you grow up, if you follow like the typical trajectory, you get a job, you get married, you have kids like you, you do the nine to five thing, whatever. Entrepreneurs, we definitely march to the beat of our own drum. But it still is easy to fall into the. The typical or the stereotypical adulthood where we're just like, okay, we're going through the motions, and suddenly, like, 10 weeks have passed and you do the same thing every week, and you're like, what am I doing? Like, I love the idea of just injecting some of that fun and that joy. Like, I used to play Star wars as a kid, and I actually have a freaking lightsaber that my husband got me.

Shana [00:09:29]:
Luckily, I have a husband who loves to, like, play and have fun, so he's a really good reminder for me. But I'm. I tend to get very serious about things when I'm, like, in my stress element. Do you have any tips or have you seen that? Like, talk to me about being in alignment? Because I know that when I feel like I'm not in alignment, that's when I fall into my really serious side where I'm, like, not really looking at all the fun things in life. Instead, I'm like, no, we need to do this, this, and this. And it doesn't feel like myself.

Savannah Robertson [00:09:58]:
Yeah, no, I go through those, like, ebbs and flows, too, of, like, up and down. And when you start to actually develop the awareness of catching yourself, like, oh, I'm in a low right now, or, oh, I feel off right now. And it's so important to, like, have compass and have grace for yourself and know that it's not always going to be a high. But what I've learned is that we get to choose our experiences. We get to decide how we experience every single thing in our life. Even if it's not an ideal situation, it's always like. Like, I've had things that come up in my life that were unexpected and, like, not ideal. And it's like, you can either choose to.

Savannah Robertson [00:10:41]:
Sorry, you can either choose to let it affect your mood, allow it to bring you down, like, or you can choose to. I'm not necessarily saying you're going to, like, have fun through a negative experience, but you don't have to always find the negative in it because there's always a bigger picture going on. There's always unseen things that we don't know is going on. And I've learned to really trust that maybe I'm going through an ideal situation because there's something better on the other side of it. And I have to go through this to get to that. And sometimes it does help. If I do feel out of alignment, if I feel a little off, like, I'll come back to the things that have worked for me, where I'll, like, go into meditation, I'll go into journaling, I'll listen to something uplifting, whether it's a podcast or a book that I love. And a lot of the times that'll help bring me back up.

Savannah Robertson [00:11:32]:
So sometimes you need to have that awareness about yourself that, okay, I'm in this low right now. Why may I be in this low right now? Sometimes, like, I'm big into astrology. Like, we got a lot of things going on. Like, it just.

Shana [00:11:44]:
There's so many things right now. There's so many. Wild ride.

Savannah Robertson [00:11:48]:
Yeah, yeah. And it's like, okay. So there's some shifts happening. Like, okay, we're gonna go with it. How can I, you know, yesterday I'm like, I had a long day, and I'm like, I'm gonna go play some pickleball. Because I know that that'll automatically lift me up. And it's just having that awareness, knowing what can spike your mood back up, even if it's something little, and using the resources, the tools, if that you've learned in the past to help assist you, help bring you back obsessed.

Shana [00:12:16]:
Love it. That. I feel like that tracks really well with, like, how I cope with a lot of things. Like, because I've learned about myself, like, there's been so much or so many times when I just allow myself to stay stuck in that low. And in hindsight, you can always see, oh, maybe I wasn't living in alignment with my energy. Like, are you a human design person? Oh, I love human. What are you?

Savannah Robertson [00:12:42]:
I'm a generator.

Shana [00:12:43]:
Yes. Okay, I could totally see that. So I'm a manifester, and I've always been a type that's like, I'm gonna push through and I'm just gonna go, go, go, trying to live like a freaking generator. And for anyone who's listening, I have a whole. A couple whole podcasts that I'll link in the show. Notes that, like, kind of describe what I'm talking about when it comes to human design. So if you're lost, I'm sorry, there's more information where that came from. But in those moments, I remember experiencing such severe burnout after I would go through these really big periods of, like, I'm going to push through and I'm going to be okay, and I'm just going to go, go, go, go, go 24 7, and never give myself an opportunity to rest, which is really, really essential for what my energy type is.

Shana [00:13:22]:
And so it makes it so that I can't show up for myself or like as my full self, for the people around me, for myself in general. And I love the idea of trying to take a step back and if like, let's say we have a bad day or maybe we have a bad launch with our business or we have a tough conversation with family members, like making sure that yes, we gotta feel our feelings. You can't just like avoid them. That will backfire on you in such a huge way. But like going and doing something that's fun, love, you gotta do it to remind yourself. Okay, yes, there's ick happening. But also life can be very fun and two things can be true at once, right?

Savannah Robertson [00:14:00]:
Yes, yes. Like so true.

Shana [00:14:02]:
Oh my God. Can you tell me a little bit about what the energy shift is that's happening right now? Because, God, I need help.

Savannah Robertson [00:14:08]:
All I know is I need. I, I am not like the astrology expert. I'm just obsessed with it. But I know there's like Kazimi is going on. There's eclipses, there's eclipse that just happened. Retrogrades, like Mercury and Venus retrograde, I think is what's going on. And I know for me, I think I'm, I'm really affected towards the end of this month, which we're at the end of this month because Cap, I'm a Capricorn and Saturn is my planet. And it's like completely shifting into something different which is like.

Savannah Robertson [00:14:41]:
Yeah, it's like changing everything for Capricorn. So it's. Yeah, I bought like a whole workshop. I was like, okay, amazing. I'm getting into this. It's, I mean, and it's crazy because a lot of it really does align with like how we're feeling in our day to day life realizations that we're having. So it's, it's nice to, to have those tools and like human design, like it's just a tool, I feel like, to help better understand your own energy and better understand yourself.

Shana [00:15:06]:
Okay, so astrology is one of your favorite tools. What is one of your other favorite tools or a few? I love hearing this from people.

Savannah Robertson [00:15:14]:
Well, definitely human design. Actually I started human design before astrology. I recently got more into astrology. So was. I got like my human design readings. I'll periodically come back to it and read it. And it's crazy how you perceive things in a new light when you're in different seasons. So that very much.

Savannah Robertson [00:15:34]:
As far as like more tools go, like meditation has been life changing for me. I was always someone that like meditation wasn't my thing because I'm like, It's just. I don't know. I can't do it. You know, that was my mentality. But when you approach it a little bit differently than maybe what you think it needs to be, it really does change things, and it actually really can ground you and you can use it to your benefit. So. And I was always like that with journaling, too.

Savannah Robertson [00:15:59]:
I didn't care for journaling, but it's because I didn't know how to use it properly.

Shana [00:16:03]:
Amazing. Okay, so wait, can we dive a little bit deeper into this different approach to meditation? I'm interested. You've picked my interest.

Savannah Robertson [00:16:13]:
Well, I think what really got me into meditation in the beginning was I started doing visualization. And when I was doing visualization, it was really tapping into what I wanted to manifest, you know, the life that I want to have. And just sitting with that and feeling the emotions that come from already having those things. And by experiencing that powerful, like, shift within me through visualization, I started going deeper with exploring meditation and just learning how to use it to, like, feel into your energy and sit. Like, just sit in the unknown or, like, the present, as they call it. And just, like, I usually will do it when I can tell, like, my nervous system is really dysregulated as well, because it's like. Like, if I'm trying to, like, find external things to regulate myself, it's like, okay, like, I'm gonna come back to meditation and sit with this. Because clearly there's something that I'm avoiding.

Savannah Robertson [00:17:12]:
There's something that's putting me in survival mode that I'm trying to regulate. And I'm gonna try to start to lean on meditation to be the thing that helps me regulate.

Shana [00:17:22]:
Obsessed. Okay, let's shift into nervous system regulation, because anyone who's listening, I just came back from a weekend away and truly felt like that was what I needed to regulate my nervous system. Because I don't know if it's the planets. I don't know if it's just life right now. Life, be life thing, you know, but we definitely needed a good nervous system reset over here in Shana's world. So talk to me. How can people identify if their nervous system is dysregulated?

Savannah Robertson [00:17:46]:
One of the most. Some of the most common symptoms would be anxiety, worry, doubt, imposter syndrome, people pleasing. All of these things. Things are symptoms of a dysregulated nervous system or, I mean, depression, stress, these things that we are talking about a lot, which is great, but I think A lot of people are like starting to identify with them as like, oh, I am always anxious, like anxiety is my personality. And like I think we really need to be careful with that because when you're identifying with these survival responses, because that's essentially what they are, you are creating programming within yourself that is saying this is who I am. Therefore your body and your mind is going to create more of that because subconscious beliefs, they, they are driving our entire life. So if you have a subconscious belief that says I'm anxious, I'm anxious all the time, that is what it's going to create for yourself.

Shana [00:18:45]:
Dude. Yes, A hundred percent love that when it comes, I love how you identified these, their symptoms of nervous system dysregulation. Right. Or dysregulated nervous system, whatever. Yeah.

Savannah Robertson [00:18:57]:
I mean if you're in a situation that it actually is survival mode and you're experiencing those things, that's a good thing. Like we need those emotions. But when you're in a constant state of anxiety, you're in a constant state of stress and like always people pleasing in every area of your life that it's not normal and that that's something to be addressed.

Shana [00:19:17]:
How would you tell people to address it? Like if they were to be working with you or if you were to just be able to like insert your opinion, how would you recommend people do that?

Savannah Robertson [00:19:28]:
I would start by trying to have them ask empowering questions that are going to allow them to dive a little bit deeper within themselves and help them unravel maybe some of the conditional beliefs that they're holding on to that is leading to this feeling of non safety because that's essentially what's going on is we don't feel safe in our own body and we don't feel safe in our day to day. But like what's driving that? Because there's a belief that it's tied to that's driving that. So you really need to start to peel back the layers. Sometimes you can do this like through your own work. But if you have very traumatic experiences that you went through situations or experience in your life, you may need to seek out therapy to help you with that. And that's the biggest thing that I'll say with the work that I do is a lot of it. This reprogramming and regulation can be done on your own once you learn how to do it and learn how to support yourself. But sometimes you do need that extra support to help you work through experiences that maybe your body experienced a trauma response and then it never knew how to process that, and so it held on to it, and now it's creating this dysregulation within your body because it's still stuck in your body.

Shana [00:20:45]:
I can very highly identify with that, and that makes so much sense. So full disclosure, and I haven't really talked about it too much on the podcast. Maybe I'll record a full episode on it coming up. Because this feels very much like good timing and probably divine timing, interestingly enough. So I actually, a few years ago, we moved back here to Colorado. My husband and I, we actually lived out in California before that. And we were at a friend's barbecue, and I saw a person that I hadn't seen since high school, and they went to a different school. And so, like, we had interacted sometimes during high school, we just, like, knew each other as acquaintances.

Shana [00:21:22]:
But after seeing him at this barbecue, I had a repressed memory comeback of a sexual assault. And I was like, what? What do I do with this?

Savannah Robertson [00:21:31]:
Yeah. Oh, my gosh.

Shana [00:21:32]:
And it was very much. And I've done trauma therapy. I was diagnosed with ptsd, and it made so much make sense of, like, why I have so much anxiety, why my nervous system is so dysregulated, because my body remembered that thing that happened and didn't know how to do it. So it made me forget. And I think you're so wise to, like, tap in and be like, yo, you might need some extra support. Because are you. I didn't even ask. You're not a therapist, but you would have someone like, yo, you gotta have some therapy on board if we're going through this.

Shana [00:22:08]:
Or talk to me about that.

Savannah Robertson [00:22:10]:
Yeah, like, well, so my background has a lot more like coaching the coaching World Health fitness. That's where my background came from. But me personally going through my healing journey, especially last year, it was so pivotal for me. And so that's why I've really stepped into this work now. Because at the time, it was like, I was trying to help people love them, love their body. That was my mission, was helping people love their body through fitness. But what I realized, it was much, much deeper than that. And that was also something I had to navigate myself.

Savannah Robertson [00:22:45]:
And I did go therapy. I did work with people who helped me regulate my nervous system. So, yes, it may be like, I'll be guiding women on how we can do this work when we are in a place to do that. But if, again, helping them peel back those layers of maybe there is some unresolved trauma and feeling safe enough to step into therapy, and knowing that it's the support they need versus like, like trying to navigate it on their own. Because sometimes you need that outside lens. Sometimes you need someone who's not in the situation to help you work through it in a way that your, your brain is stuck in.

Shana [00:23:24]:
Totally. I get that. 100. Like, and you can even whether people are working with a coach like you or maybe it's just like I was going through things and my husband was my support person, but, like, he can't be my therapist too.

Savannah Robertson [00:23:37]:
Yeah.

Shana [00:23:37]:
You know what I mean? And so that's so useful. You mentioned your story and this is something that I really would love to have you share. Talk to me about your story and how you've come into this work and just basically the stuff that you shared on stage because it was so powerful. Friend, I would love to hear more.

Savannah Robertson [00:23:53]:
Yeah, well, it really started five years ago when I started doing health and fitness coaching online. And I was working with women which a lot of them wanted to like, lose weight and tone up and just get more back into their health and fitness. Which I think I always say that, like, that's a very, a very empowering thing. Like, it's not a bad thing to want to lose weight. It's not a bad thing to want to improve your physique. But I really noticed that, like, women I was working with really, like coming from this disempowered place and really leaning on health and fitness, like thinking that health and fitness and weight loss and these changes that they were going to make to their body was going to be the solution to everything. And that really was.

Shana [00:24:33]:
We look at things as women.

Savannah Robertson [00:24:35]:
Yeah, I'll be happy when. And it's like I was feeling that internally because I was physically fit. I was like the leanest I had ever been. And I still was feeling in some way inadequate and not enough. And I was like, why? Like, I, I did the thing, you know. But when I look back, like, I internally I felt so much chaos, I felt so much anxiety. I had such this white knuckling grip on my exercise and diet that it was like I couldn't even allow myself to breathe. I couldn't relax.

Savannah Robertson [00:25:08]:
And so my whole point to that with the women is like, no matter what we do, if we don't learn how to validate ourselves internally, if we don't learn what it means to feel adequate just as who we are, nothing externally will ever give us that long term. It will show up in new ways. Like, it may not be through your health and fitness or Specifically weight loss. But it may show up like your obsessive control over your diet or maybe it shows up in your relationships or your career where your brain will still continue, continue to look for this proof that you are inadequate or you're not enough. And so for me, I really had to take a step back because I'm like, this is something much deeper than I felt like I was equipped to handle and felt like I wanted to impact women in that way. I just didn't feel equipped to do it because I had to do my own work first. It's like I can't speak from this place of knowing what I'm talking about when I don't even. I can't even embody self love.

Savannah Robertson [00:26:08]:
I can't even embody this Persona of just, you know, feeling confident, feeling happy and connected with my most true, authentic self. So I had to navigate that and go on that journey. And a lot of that looked like completely surrendering. I completely surrendered even trying to figure out a business because I was just like so like unaligned, honestly. And I was like, I need to figure out what's going on in here before I really step into that. Because it's not, at this point, it's just busy work. It feels like I'm avoiding something. And so I focused on surrendering.

Savannah Robertson [00:26:49]:
I focused on building self trust and leaning into my intuition of like Galentine's, Like Galentine's I went to last year in 2024 and I got a free ticket. And it was like, okay, I know I'm meant to be here. I know that I need to get something out of this. I just don't know what. And that's what every step of my journey looked like was. Okay, I'm feeling a nudge in this direction. I don't know why, I don't know what it's going to look like, but like something's telling me to follow this. And a lot of that looked like investing in myself in ways that I had never done before and allowing myself to do things that I had never done before.

Savannah Robertson [00:27:31]:
But. But over the course of, like looking back at this whole year of focusing on healing, I built up all this self trust. Like I learned how to trust myself and reconnected back to my body and really learned what it meant to feel aligned again. Sometimes you do have to go on that journey with yourself to really come back to yourself.

Shana [00:27:54]:
Yeah, absolutely. So this just brings a freaking memory back. Right when I started the therapy and after she was like, okay, so she took me through this Little like questionnaire. And she was like, okay, so based on the results of this, you have PTSD and here's what we're going to do next. I was like, okay. But she was like, it's going to be hard at first because you're basically like opening things up with things you either a haven't ever thought deeply about. And so like the healing process always really sucks at the beginning, but then it gets better than you ever could have imagined. Right.

Shana [00:28:31]:
When you actually put in those reps and do that work. And God, I think your story is so inspiring and I love. So when she said Galentine's. Galentine's is the name of the event that we both got to speak at a couple of weeks ago. And it's with a really amazing community. She's made for more and I don't know, it just disappears. Very safe place for people to like start on that healing journey. And I remember the very first event that I filmed for Crystal and the she's made for more movement.

Shana [00:28:58]:
When you said you wanted to be a rock star. I have few of you.

Savannah Robertson [00:29:01]:
Oh my gosh. That's so true.

Shana [00:29:03]:
Like it's like a, a blow up air guitar. You're like having the best time. Just like jam in with it and it was so great.

Savannah Robertson [00:29:12]:
That is so funny. That's so true.

Shana [00:29:13]:
Oh my gosh. I'll have to find that image and try and post it when this episode goes live because it's so good. Thank you so much for sharing, like so openly about your journey. Was there any one thing that really helped you move through the healing process? I know we talked. You gave a lot of different examples. Like you said you had to lean into self trust, you had to surrender. But like, if you could give someone one step to move forward with it, what would you tell them?

Savannah Robertson [00:29:42]:
I would say like, that's so tough. I would say maybe a great first step would be to surround yourself with some kind of support because trying to navigate this on your own or with maybe family and friends, not everyone's gonna get it.

Shana [00:30:03]:
Yep.

Savannah Robertson [00:30:03]:
And when you're working on your healing journey, you are in your most vulnerable season. And people, if you share too much with people, they will likely project their own limiting beliefs on you. And that can really be really challenging when you're trying to navigate that yourself. And I personally was always someone that like, didn't want to speak up. I didn't want to talk about my feelings. I didn't want to open up. I didn't even want to cry in front of anyone. Like, when I went to Galentine's for the first time, I remember saying that to someone that I was like, I don't cry in front of people, but I really need to cry.

Savannah Robertson [00:30:39]:
And it was like being. And it doesn't have to be in a big environment like that, Even if it is a therapist or you join a free community where you're just around people who get it and who are on that journey. I think that that would be a really great step because you're gonna naturally start to feel, okay, I'm safe. Like, this is something other people do. Like, this is something I can lean on other people if I'm feeling a certain way and not go through it alone. I would say that that is, like, I think that that would help build your confidence a little bit more in taking further steps.

Shana [00:31:12]:
Oh, my God. That's a amazing tip. First of all. And that's one I wouldn't have thought of, like, had it been like, go journal.

Savannah Robertson [00:31:18]:
Honestly, that was one of my thoughts, was maybe journaling.

Shana [00:31:22]:
I think that your answer was so powerful. And then I want to. I think we can wrap up our talk. I've seriously loved this. I've loved every single bit. Like, Like, I want to pick your brain about, like, all the step by steps. And I'm really excited for your program to launch. Tell me something.

Shana [00:31:40]:
Actually, I want to ask one more question. How can we use all of this work and like, personal growth and development to get more creative? Because a lot of people listen to this podcast. Either as entrepreneurs, they want to learn better marketing tips, or maybe they want to learn how to tap into their creativity. I just got an Amazon package. Sorry.

Savannah Robertson [00:32:00]:
Yay.

Shana [00:32:01]:
Yay. So exciting. But do you have any tips we could apply for creativity?

Savannah Robertson [00:32:06]:
So this is probably going to sound a little crazy for maybe the marketing gurus or like the sales strategists out there, But I feel like the more we become aligned with our soul, with our heart, our inner child, I feel like this unlocks a level of creativity where you don't necessarily need to go do market research. You don't need to figure out what are people, like, looking to buy. Because when you get the ideas, especially when you're in a place of such flow because you have done the work to reconnect back to you. You receive ideas. And I believe that these ideas come from God, like the universe, your soul. I believe they come to you because there's people out there craving what you can give in your own unique way. Honestly, I feel like this unlocks A level of creativity that I've never experienced before. Like I always would like look to what other people are doing and I'm like, okay, how can I replicate that? But honestly, when you are your truest, most authentic self, unapologetically you fully embody this, your creativity, your flow just shows up and you don't have to worry about if so and so is going to buy that or so and so is going to like that because they didn't know that they needed it until you brought it to the world.

Savannah Robertson [00:33:27]:
So like, like it's like a whole unlock that you experience of creativity when you do the work to come back home to you.

Shana [00:33:35]:
