Whatever You Can Know.
Welcome to Whatever You Can Know Podcast with Tanya Savva. A place where spirituality meets special needs parenting, consciousness meets embodiment, trauma meets healing and a whole bunch of extra stuff to inspire curiosity about whatever you can know.
My insatiable interest in physiology, biology and science started with cadavers in a wet lab in the year 2000 as a university student. When my life took an unexpected turn in 2009 and I birthed a daughter with a disability, my interest moved from the physical to the metaphysical, emotional and spiritual. Becoming a special needs mum unravelled me to my core. It wasn’t part of my life’s plan but hindsight comes with many gifts and I wouldn’t want my life to be any other way.
I’ve since been many things in the health, wellbeing and healing space for over 20 years as a therapist, creative and healer. I’ve studied and shape-shifted from one thing to another, time and time again, following my gut, my inner voice and intuition. Despite the ways in which I’ve changed, throughout my conscious evolution, I have consistently been a special needs mother, a student, a writer and deeply curious.
I’ve supported many people to ignite radical self responsibility, awaken awareness, release unconscious limitations and reconnect with purpose and presence. Just as my daughter did for me.
As life thrusts its unexpectedness against me, I choose to loosen my grip on the illusion of control, and allow myself to be swept up in the magic of life’s unfolding.
So here we are, you and me, on a podcast, where I share an amalgamation of what is real, what is true, what is current and what I know. This is not a self help space. But you may see yourself in my muse, and I hope that awakens an insatiable interest in you, too.
Welcome to Whatever You Can Know — your home for what’s real, right now.

EP 15 | My daughter’s disability impacts on me doing the things I love
In this episode I talk about how not working at the moment has opened up some space to focus on myself, which feels incredibly confusing, because I have been all give give give for, well, forever.
I share some recent events that led me to contemplate what I’m passionate about and what I like doing for ME. I talk about how how my daughter’s needs and disability impact on my capacity to participate in the things that I like. Warning…I get a little bit emotional.
I talk about my ability to adapt to my life because of my daughter’s needs, and how I can create a feeling of peace, freedom and joy, no matter what’s happening around me.
I also briefly mention ‘The Passion Project’ - a process that I created to guide women to remember their passions. I’m running a pilot experience over the Easter long weekend and, if successful, will share more about it, with the intention to facilitate it as an event for others.
