The year 2020 left an everlasting mark on mankind. The world witnessed the harsh paws of the COVID-19 pandemic reaching every corner of society. Besides the multiple physical damage and losses, there was traumatic mental exhaustion that took away the most important thing from life—peace, something that Savannah James experienced, or the lack thereof. However, she eventually came out of the disheartening phase and is now on a noble mission to help other women through “Let It Break”, a community that aims for “personal growth and self-discovery.”

The Tamron Hall Show welcomed Savannah and her podcast partner, April McDaniel, to have an exclusive discussion on their new project. After April had reflected on the challenges following her husband’s demise, the host turned to Mrs. James for some stories that had been left untold. Quoting a bold statement from Savannah’s Harper’s Bazaar interview, “If I’m working from a glass half empty, I’m not good to anybody”, Hall asked how Savannah coped with the feelings of how she would fill the void.

“I think it was acknowledgment,” Savannah responded. “Knowing that sometimes I felt depleted, and I wasn’t being the best version of a mother of myself to, you know, my husband, it was just hard to be fully present.” So, she found a way to deal with the difficult times during the pandemic—“I started to disappear.”

Her escape route was the bathroom in the James mansion. While LeBron and his kids were doing well, Savannah went to her safe zone and spent some “Me time.” “I would disappear into my bathroom. And I just take a bath or watch a makeup tutorial, which I love so much, or just take time for myself in doing something that I enjoy,” the entrepreneur shared. She came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed and with a sense that her cup was more filled than before.

With their experience, they want to empower other women and build a strong community through educational programs, workshops, and relationship-building approaches. As per reports, Let it Break is a women’s membership community that will offer educational, programming and resources to empower women “to overcome limiting beliefs and reach their fullest potential by fostering deep self-awareness, engaging in meaningful conversations, providing education, and encouraging purposeful work”. But how did James decide to embark on such a righteous journey?

Well, the motivation to work hard on the route for Savannah came from a very special person.

Savannah James reveals her source of motivation, inspiring her to make a difference

Savannah disclosed her purpose of giving back to society and doing more on the show. While talking about why it was important for her to start the new movement, she said, “My daughter is who really catapulted me to want to be and do more.”

The 10-year-old Zhuri once told her mum she wanted to be like her. That made Savannah anxious and nervous. The questions of what she had done in life for her daughter to consider her as a role model kept troubling her. “At that time, I didn’t really feel like, what I was doing was enough,” Savannah said. However, she now has the answer. “In my personal growth and being on my journey and being super intentional with that work, I’ve realized that I’ve done a lot.” she added. “I’ve raised 3 beautiful children who are amazing.”

The mission Savannah is on with April is something commendable, which Zhuri might not understand right now, but once she grows up, she’ll have all the more reasons to want to become like her mother.
