Whatever You Can Know.

In this episode I’m sharing 5 poems that I wrote during a very spontaneous solo trip in northern Vietnam at the end of July 2026. These were also shared on my Substack.

The poems were inspired by some of my experiences while I was in Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Ninh Binh and Ha Giang. 

I share a little insight into what inspired each piece, but I feel like, they speak for themselves.

In this episode, I am reading a post I am shared on Substack on the 26th June 2026.

It begins with one simple question that completely caught me off guard: "What are you looking forward to?"

I thought I'd have an easy answer, but I didn't. That question led me into a much deeper reflection about hope, anticipation, being present, and how easy it is to spend our lives waiting for the next chapter while missing the one we're living right now.

In this episode I share a little about what kinesiology is, how it works and what it aims to do. I share a story about what I discovered about our pup, Figgy, during a kinesiology session recently. Figgy was chosen to become an assistance dog for my daughter who is blind, autistic, intellectually delayed and anxious. We discovered some things about how she feels about being a dog, how she felt about leaving her mum and litter at 8 weeks of age, and her core belief about herself in this life time. 

I also share what I discovered about the uncontrollable anger I’ve been feeling since Figgy came into our world. And I’ll give you a little secret – it’s not my anger! 

If you’re a hard-core sceptic and don’t really believe in any of this energy and emotional work, well, to be frank, I’m surprised you’re even here! But I do implore you to listen because it is pretty fascinating and makes for a great story, even if you think I’m a little bit of a cray cray woo woo witchy girl.

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

In this episode, I am reading a post I am shared on Substack on the 16th April 2026.

I share a story about the journal I bought over a decade ago to write my memoir in, and how, 10 years on, I can finally say “I wrote a memoir!”

I also share some interesting physical symptoms that presented on the morning I was due to send my book out in the world to agents and publishers, and how memories from my childhood and early parenting journey was impacting on me feeling really good about sending my book out into the world.

In this episode, I'm reading a post I am shared on Substack on the 14th March 2026.

I talk about how the beliefs I created as a child to feel safe, shaped me into a resilient, self-reliant, helpful and independent adult who was too afraid to ask for help, in fear of being rejected. 

And how a recent cry for help to alleviate the financial burden of purchasing and training an assistance dog for my daughter, who is blind, autistic and anxious, did the very opposite.

In this episode I’m reading a post I shared on substack on 17th feb 2026.

This is a  vulnerable and somewhat uncomfortable giant cry for help. 

If you’ve been following me for a long (or even short) time, you’ll know that my daughter, Mackenzie has a disability and the impact of her multi-faceted diagnosis is layered in the most beautiful and complex. 

I’m sharing some insight and reasoning into a big decision we are making as a family - getting a dog that will be trained as a therapy assistance animal - and to achieve the outcome, we need you.

In this episode, I am reading a post I am shared on Substack on the 21st December 2025.

I’ve made the decision to create audio versions of my written content to ensure the blindness and low vision community, or people who just prefer to listen, can access and enjoy my muse. 

I share the current astrological and Chinese zodiac influences affecting me and us, as a collective, at the moment. I talk a little into the New Moon in Sagittarius that has just occurred over the weekend, the final new moon and opportunity to set intentions for the beginnings and new energy that are just around the corner with the Universal Year 1 and the Year of the Horse in 2026. I offer some journaling prompts at the end tied into these themes for reflection and forward planning. You can read the post and copy and paste the questions from www.tanyasavva.substack.com/p/the-liminal-space

It’s a gentle reflection following my daughter writing her school captaincy speech and the softness that is blossoming as she ages, despite all that I have feared around that growth.
