Welcome back to this week's episode of Unlocked. I am super excited because this is my first solo podcast that I've done since mom and dad got out. I mean, it's been a while since we've done a solo. I am super excited. I kind of wanted to do a podcast to let you in on all the things that had happened the days leading up to it, um, as well as kind of where I'm at now. And also, everyone wants to know what is next for Savannah? What's next for Savannah's life, work life, personal life? And we're gonna get into that. But first, going back to all of the pardon stuff, when mom and dad got pardoned, I was probably at the lowest point I've ever been at. I felt like I had done everything. I had just fought like hell and nothing had happened. So I kind of threw my hands up in the air and said, you know what? God, if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. But I can't keep doing this. I can't keep living life like this. I was not healthy. Physically, mentally, emotionally. All the things I felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders. And when I laid down at night, it literally felt like I could not breathe. And so I was like, God, this is it. Like, you got me. You've challenged me. I can't do it anymore. And the day they got pardoned, I was in that mood. I was at the lowest of lows. And that's when the president called me and said, savannah, your family is getting their lives back. And I honestly was like, is this real? Is this happening? And then I had to remind myself, savannah, this is the President of the United States of America that is calling you. Yes, it's real. No one is pranking you. But I think the sad part is, is there were so many people along the way that interfered and that gave false hope and promised all these things were gonna happen that just never happened. So my trust in people is pretty much non existent. But I that day I tried to, like, replay it over and over again. I don't even remember driving home from the grocery store. Like, I was in such shock. And even when I had to go and pick up my dad, they were giving me problems. I did a press conference outside the prison, and it was insane. There was like, a hundred cars at least there, and people were just handing me their babies. Like, literally, I had, like, a naked baby in my arms. Then there was, like, this little girl that kept wanting to hold my hand and stand with me. And I literally felt like Princess Diane Diana in that moment. I'm not gonna lie. And someone even posted on Instagram yesterday, like, she. It was a guy who got a photo of me and was like, no one argue with me. She is the Princess Diana of our time. And I was like, stop this. Like, it was just the sweetest thing in the world. But when I was standing outside the prison doing that press conference and seeing all the people who came up to me and hugged me and spoke to me, it really made me take a step back and say, like, maybe my future is going to look different than what I had originally thought. Maybe I am going to get involved in politics. Maybe I'm not. Who knows? But since getting mom and dad home, I've been speaking at some political conferences. And seeing the outpouring of love and support from individuals and especially young adults has been overwhelming. The amount of young adults that have shown up in the political arena is astonishing to me. I mean, when I was in high school or early college years, I didn't care about politics. I didn't understand the importance of it until I saw. Until my family was affected by politics and the federal government. And then I started educating myself and I realized how important it is to be involved. Know what you're voting for, vote for the right candidate, all these different things. So I am so proud of all of the young adults that show up to all these turning point events and who challenge each other and speak their minds and believe in what they believe in, because we need more of that. I have said that the political parties are going to die if we don't get more. Just younger voices in the game. We need younger voices in the game because we're. Our generation is at the forefront of technology. AI just the world is growing. The world is evolving. So it's kind of like the saying that if I raise my kids the same way my parents raised me, then my kids are going to be at a disservice because we live in a totally different world today than we did back then. So that's the same kind of. I have that same viewpoint about politics, is the political climate is changing. We have to grow, we have to evolve. So it's just been so interesting to see how accepted I've been in these rooms and how supported, and I'm absolutely loving it. I am hoping to be with Turning Point when they go to the University of Alabama, because that's where Grayson's going to be in school. So I spoke to someone on their team this past weekend when dad and I went and spoke at the Turning Point Action Conference, and they were like, we would love to have you out to some of our college campuses and the University of Alabama. And I would have a blast with that. I know Grayson would have a blast with that. And I'm just so proud of Grayson and how educated he is on politics and loves to be at the forefront, loves to be involved. It's. I could not be more proud of the kids. So we're actually going to have Grayson on a podcast in the next few weeks before he goes back to school. I am so sad, but so excited for him because I know just the University of Alabama is a place that Grayson excels. He excels academically, socially, his friends, all of the things. He absolutely loves it and misses it. So I'm sad that he's leaving, but so happy that he is going back to school. And I'm even more excited. Both he and I are excited for the fact that I now get to show up as his sister and can go to the University of Alabama for game days, game weekends, and us have fun together instead of me having to be the parent and him be the child. So I. It's just so exciting. We are excited. I can't wait for that. We'll talk about more. We'll talk about that more on Grayson's episode. But that's gonna be a blast. Ever since mom and dad came home, well, I guess just the past two and a half years coming down off of that has been a lot. I think my body has been in such, like, fight or flight mode that all my emotions, all my everything's just out of whack. There's a book that's called, like, the Body Keeps the Score. And it is so, so true. Your body, you think in your mind that you have let go of trauma and hurt and all these things, which maybe you've convinced yourself you have, but your body never really does. So it's interesting to see how your body, like, expels those things. And I'm Trying to be very in touch with my emotions and feelings and figuring out who I am. Because the past two and a half years, I've been a parent, a fighter, I a provider. I mean, you name it, I've done it. And now it's hard. It's like, whoa, now it's just me. So what is happening in life and things? And I don't know, it's a challenge, especially to all of us being under one roof. It's great. I love it. I would have begged for this a year ago, but it's a lot. It's a lot. Imagine living with your parents again after being out of the house for 11 or 12 years. That's a lot. There's also a little bit difference in lifestyles. So, yes, I like to go have me a glass of wine or a cocktail. I mean, I am 28. You're almost 28 years old. Ty Chrisley does not agree with that. And so there's some rub there. He came in my house and threw out all my seltzers. Like, threw them out. Who does that? Who does that? Because at the end of the day, all I gotta do is go and rebuy them. But all I could think of when he threw those seltzers out was, boy, you clearly haven't been by the pool fridge, nor have you been in the cabinet in the dining room, because if you did. But it's just interesting because, like, now I'm a full fledged adult. I have not relied on anyone to pay my bills, support me, guide me. I've done it all on my own. So we've just had a little bit of rub. But also, it's been the best time ever because we get to sit and talk at whatever time we want. We're joking on each other, laughing, making up for lost time. So for that, I am extremely, extremely grateful. And then me relationally is definitely interesting. I obviously you guys followed me and my ex and everything, just our relationship. And I will forever be grateful for that relationship. A year and a half of my life during that relationship. I mean, it saved me. It gave me happiness and hope and peace and gave me a safe, soft place to land when I needed it most. And so it's like the saying that, like, you know, people in your life for a season, a reason, whatever that thing is. And that relationship was there for a season, and I will forever be eternally grateful for that. Y' all followed it. You saw how heartbroken I was. And let me tell you, I'm dreading this new show coming out Dreading it. Okay. Because the difference between this new show and you'll see how this connects to the relationship aspect.

It wasn't scripted. It wasn't, hold this, wait for that, whatever. So there was one day I was just having a rough day. I was without the kids. I was missing Grayson. I was going through the ringer relationally. And this was after the breakup, like fresh, like within days. And then I get notified of this whole People magazine article and cover that I was involved in. I wasn't the main character of the story, but of course they use my name to sell it, which, okay, whatever. But I was definitely. I'd had a few drinks. I was emotional at the greenhouse. Pamela was with me. And I think I haven't seen it yet, but I can just imagine. I look like a hot mess. I was sobbing, sobbing at this whole People magazine article how unfair it was for these people to do what they've done and how I had to be a casualty, y'. All. I am just dreading it coming out because I am going to look like I've absolutely lost my mind. Which honestly, I think I just probably had like a mental breakdown at that time because I was hurting inside. I felt alone. I felt like I had just been left on the side of the road for, you know, whatever. And it sucked. But that's gonna be a part of the show. So you guys have seen all of it. The good, the bad, the ugly. And this is going to be another part that I'm gonna kind of have to relive, which it's gonna suck a little bit, because, like I said, that relationship brought me a ton of happiness. I mean, I can't explain it between him and the kids and just all of it. Like, they will forever hold a special place in my heart, and if they ever need me, they know they can call me. But with that being said, once mom and dad got out, my ex and I thought, maybe let's give this another go. And we hung out some. We went on a trip and had the absolute best time because we truly were best friends, and we were keeping it super quiet. And then one thing led to another, we were back together. And then I kind of got ghosted. I don't know how that happens, but I did. And then after 24 hours, I was like, you know what, Savannah? You deserve better. Not necessarily a better person, because I will forever go down by saying, he is a phenomenal human being, but. But life circumstances and situations have a way of dictating your feelings, emotions, and actions. So we're all not going to act perfect 24 7, because sometimes the way the world's on our shoulders. But, yeah, I got ghosted. I don't think that's actually ever happened to me before. So I really didn't know how to act, but I did. And then after 24 hours of not hearing from him, I was like, savannah, no, you deserve better behavior than this. So I blocked him. Blocked him on everything. Instagram, text. Basically, I am dead to him, and he or she's to have my funeral. It's the way that that went down. So, I mean, it sucks is what it is. But was I sad about it? Very much so. I think I was. I was sad because I had gotten my hopes up to that this was going to be my second chance, and this we were going to. Finally, both of our lives were settling down and we were gonna end up together. And he had come and spent time with my family, my parents. And then a week later, I get ghosted. So I don't know. But, yes, I was extremely upset and sad and heartbroken. But like I said, I put so much time, money, energy, and effort into that relationship that finally I had reached a point that I realized I deserve for someone to appreciate me and how I show up, when I show up, respect me and my value. And I realized I was devaluing myself basically for when I was I don't know. I was devaluing myself by allowing behavior like this. So I chose to just block on everything. And for me, that was the right decision. I feel like I'm still kind of in a grieving process, but I've lived a lot of my life not respecting myself and allowing certain behaviors or I exhibited certain behaviors because I didn't respect myself enough. So for me, this is kind of part of this new era, part of this new life is finding my self respect, respecting myself enough to walk away, respecting myself enough to say no or to say yes. It's an interesting, liberating phase of life that I'm in right now, and I'm trying to navigate it the best that I can. And you guys will realize how I talked about my ex, my past relationship. There is nothing but love and respect there. And like I said, life situations dictate our feelings, emotions, actions, reactions. And I'm having grace for that. So I'm having grace and understanding for that. Even with his latest Instagram post, having a little grace for that. Leave those Broadway girls alone. Little jabs that were made within that post. Be happy. I wasn't petty, okay? And that was hurtful, too. Like, that was extremely hurtful. Like, great, I'm glad you can hoop at 40 and LFG and whatever. The caption was like, come on. Okay, Come on. But it's fine. Like, I'm learning to internalize and process and life's just not that serious. That's why I love him to death. Like, absolutely love him to death. Forever grateful for the role that he played in my life, for how he showed up for me when he did show up for me and the kids and his kids I absolutely love with my whole heart. And losing them was probably the toughest thing. And I will always be a safe place for them to land if they ever need it. And I know that the oldest knows that. So I'm happy about that. I love them, their whole family. I respect them. And I just think that, like I said, life circumstances dictated his actions, reactions, and emotions. And unfortunately, it kind of screwed up what I thought was a good thing going. But that's where I'm at relationally with that. And I'm so excited and hopeful for the future and where it leads, because I'm not looking to waste away my life. I'm not looking to waste memories on people who aren't going to be in my life forever.

Just when you think life has hardened your heart for good, God shows up with unexpected gifts in the form of people, moments and grace, reminding you that he never stopped working behind the scenes. He restores your faith not just in him, but in the goodness of others too. And I have realized that so much in my life right now of just all the great people that are coming into my life and pouring into Me and investing in me and loving me and understanding me. And it makes me so excited for the future. I know that my future is me getting married, me having kids, me being the best mom in the entire world. Like, that is what my heart wants. And I know that I'm gonna find someone who wants those same things and sees me in that same light. And it makes me so excited. I have no ill feelings or harbor resentment or anything from my past because I know that's in my future. And my future is so much brighter than anything else that has happened. So I'm just excited. I went on a trip to the Cayman Islands with some friends, and it was so unexpected in such a fun trip that truly brought me back to life, revived me, and I. I don't even know what to say. I am just so grateful and excited for the future. And I'm gonna be doing a lot of investing in myself when it comes to therapy and working out and traveling. You all know I wanted to do my 30 countries by the time I turned 30. That was my thing. Now in order to do that, I had to stop traveling to the same place over and over again. But when it comes to my future, obviously, right now I do my real estate. I have Good Girl Rx, which is right now, it's a direct to consumer pharmacy. We are focused on the GLP1S B12 and also just vitamins and nutrients. So we have a Defend blend, which is all the vitamins in one drink that literally tastes like fruit punch and it's awesome. So I'm really focusing on building Good Girl Rx into a mega company because I believe in making America healthy again and investing in ourselves and treating our bodies the way that we need to treat them. So right now I'm really focused on building my business, which is why I declined to take the or run this slide, declined to run for the congressional seat that was opening here in Tennessee in a special election. I felt like right now is just not the time for me personally as I'm building my businesses and I don't want to have to divest from these things right now. I feel like I'm at a very important point in the growth stage of these businesses, that it's just not worth it for me personally. And after the past few years, I have to put myself first. And I also realized that I have a bigger impact on the outside using my voice right now than I would on the inside. So I decided not to do that. Right now. I'm going to continue building my political profile and then in 2027, when Marsha Blackburn runs for governor and will probably win, I could potentially take that Senate seat. Who knows? I would be the youngest senator, youngest female senator as well as. I mean, I would just be. I wouldn't even be 20, 30 yet, so. But I would be 30 by the time of swearing in. So as long as you're 30 by the time you're sworn in, you're good. So I would be the youngest U.S. senator. And I think that's powerful. I think that's powerful for not only the younger generations, but also women, that I would be the youngest female senator as well. So that is something that I'm toying around with, playing with the idea, seeing where that may lead. But I've got some time for that. And like I said, I really want to focus on, like, my forever person and getting married and having kids and being fulfilled and having my own little family unit that is protected and loved and safe. Like, I'm ready to have my kid, like, moments in my adult life, and I believe that I deserve them and I'm worthy of them, and that's just what I need to fulfill me. So I am so excited for this next phase of life. Like, so excited. So to set the record straight, I'm not gonna run for the house seat. Maybe I run for senator in a few years, but we'll see. So I will let you guys in on all of those details as I make my decisions along the way. It's definitely not a decision that you make lightly or quickly, so I'm gonna sit on it for a little while. For this episode, I am going to end it with a question everyone has been asking, and that is, where's Todd and Julie living? Where's Savannah living? Where? What's going on? And, well, mom and dad are gonna live in my house. And I am moving. I am so excited. August 1st, I am moving. And where am I moving? Am I staying in Tennessee? Am I not? What's going on? Who knows? So make sure you tune in next week to Unlocked with Savannah to figure out all the details. Where I'm moving, what's happening, what my plans for the future are. It's gonna be interesting.
