Beyond Sensory Struggles: How Savannah Archer Helps Others Build Self-Regulation and Resilience


Listen Later

From an early age, Savannah Archer knew something felt different. She experienced sensory overload – especially around food textures – and quickly learned the importance of advocating for what she couldn’t tolerate.

By finding the balance between following the rules and creating adaptations for herself, Savannah built a foundation of self-advocacy that has guided her ever since.

Today, she connects with people across the world through Sav’s Life Skills, empowering others to self-regulate by:

  • Understanding their internal experiences
  • Setting boundaries
  • Coping with sensory overload
  • Practicing honesty with those around them

Savannah also brings her professional background in criminal justice and trauma support into her work, creating a space where neurodivergent individuals feel seen, safe, and supported. Her ability to combine lived experience with trauma-informed practice gives her coaching and resources added depth and impact.

It’s Savannah’s authenticity – choosing to show up as her true self – that has allowed her to reach thousands of neurodivergent people worldwide. She shares openly about moments of change, including leaving a senior director role at a major company when it no longer aligned with her values.

Savannah’s story is one of resilience, self-advocacy, and the power of living authentically.

In this episode, she offers strategies, insights, and encouragement for anyone navigating sensory challenges, social expectations, and the journey toward self-acceptance.
