Whatever You Can Know.
Welcome to Whatever You Can Know Podcast with Tanya Savva. A place where spirituality meets special needs parenting, consciousness meets embodiment, trauma meets healing and a whole bunch of extra stuff to inspire curiosity about whatever you can know.
My insatiable interest in physiology, biology and science started with cadavers in a wet lab in the year 2000 as a university student. When my life took an unexpected turn in 2009 and I birthed a daughter with a disability, my interest moved from the physical to the metaphysical, emotional and spiritual. Becoming a special needs mum unravelled me to my core. It wasn’t part of my life’s plan but hindsight comes with many gifts and I wouldn’t want my life to be any other way.
I’ve since been many things in the health, wellbeing and healing space for over 20 years as a therapist, creative and healer. I’ve studied and shape-shifted from one thing to another, time and time again, following my gut, my inner voice and intuition. Despite the ways in which I’ve changed, throughout my conscious evolution, I have consistently been a special needs mother, a student, a writer and deeply curious.
I’ve supported many people to ignite radical self responsibility, awaken awareness, release unconscious limitations and reconnect with purpose and presence. Just as my daughter did for me.
As life thrusts its unexpectedness against me, I choose to loosen my grip on the illusion of control, and allow myself to be swept up in the magic of life’s unfolding.
So here we are, you and me, on a podcast, where I share an amalgamation of what is real, what is true, what is current and what I know. This is not a self help space. But you may see yourself in my muse, and I hope that awakens an insatiable interest in you, too.
Welcome to Whatever You Can Know — your home for what’s real, right now.

EP 29 | We got a puppy and I've hated every moment of it
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode I share the very real, deep and honest truth about how I've really struggled, and dare I say, absolutely hated, the experience over the past 6 weeks of having a puppy in mine and my daughter's life.
I share what I've learnt about my self through this process, the healing of the emotional trauma of being a single special needs mother that's been triggered by our puppy's presence, and what I've hated about it.
I offer some insight into my view on the lack of authenticity on social media and how damaging that can be because there's no real representation of the struggles I've experienced as a first time puppy owner.
I share some of the things that have kept me going through this time and how my spiritual teachings and practices have allowed me to see and know that everything is happening in divine timing, and, despite the hardship and emotional turmoil I've been in, everything is going to be okay
