For years, Savannah James has been seen as a loving wife to LeBron and a protective mother to their three beautiful children. But what about her? Does she show the same love and care for herself? Despite being successful in her endeavors, one thing was sorely missing over the years. To unravel that, she took a trip down memory lane, reflecting on how she has treated herself and shared an emotional message for her past self.

The Everybody’s Crazy podcast brought out a lot from Savannah in the latest episode, including a glimpse into her past. After admitting how much she enjoyed shooting with her girlfriends Hazel Green, Malaika Frazier, Raven Varona, Porsha Ellis, and, of course, co-host April McDaniel, she revealed something previously unknown. “I would tell my younger self,” the 38-year-old said, “It goes back into myself, not into the world, but open your heart.”

Savannah further emphasized, “I love my kids. I love my husband. I love my family. I love my friends, but wasn’t always in love with myself. So I would tell myself to open your heart. You’re worthy. You’re enough.”

This isn’t Savannah’s first time being candid. Back in the pandemic times, we also saw her open up about her mental health struggles. During her interview with Harper’s Bazaar Savannah shared, “If I’m working from a glass half empty, I’m not good to anybody.” When asked how she filled the void during an appearance on The Tamron Hall Show, Mrs. James explained that it was through acknowledgment.

“Sometimes I felt depleted,” Savannah said, “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, I started to disappear.” She found her escape route in the bathroom, where she would disappear to take long baths or watch makeup videos.

Not every day is sunshine and roses; not even in the life of someone like Savannah James. However, her message shows she has moved past that phase, accepted the ups and downs, and has a much better mindset now. What has helped her do this and still continues to, is her focus on building healthy connections with people.

Savannah James is open to building new connections

Savannah James has recently embraced a more open and engaging approach to building connections, a shift evident as she explores new opportunities and relationships. Known for her private nature, Savannah has often been seen as playing a supportive role in her family, but her move to Los Angeles has catalyzed personal growth and a broader social perspective.

In the same episode, Savannah discusses stepping out of her comfort zone to welcome meaningful relationships. She shares how cultivating friendships has been essential for balance and emotional support, particularly during significant transitions like moving cities for her husband LeBron James’ career.

Reflecting on her growth, she acknowledges the importance of being open to new relationships, stating, “Something that I started to do here in the last maybe four, three, or four years is to say, like I want to welcome any relationship, any connection that is put in front of me that’s worth having.”

Savannah’s candidness about valuing a “ride-or-die” friend who stands by her highlights how genuine connections are integral to her journey. She mentioned, “I have ‘a’ friend who like my ride or die, I could call her anytime.”.

Her current phase emphasizes her desire to share a more personal side with the world, moving beyond her role as a supportive spouse and mother. It is not just her, through this podcast episode, Savannah has surely left others inspired to embrace change, prioritize self-discovery, and foster meaningful bonds as well.
