“That time, to be honest, was spent pouring into my boy. I just really wanted to enjoy being a mom and supporting my husband. I wasn’t super-comfortable with putting myself out like that,” she told The Cut.

WHY DOES SAVANNAH JAMES AVOID THE INTERNET?

In addition, she knows that gossip is a quick ticket to destroy what she has built for years with James.

That’s why she avoids the internet like plague and when she is on it, wisdom takes over whenever there is a nasty comment that gets on her nerves.

She likens responding to all internet trolls to getting oneself in a ‘rabbit hole’ which is hard to get out of. Yet, her wisdom dictates she remains silent and press the ‘overlook button’.

“That is going to put you in a rabbit hole that you don’t want to be in. I don’t think that there are misconceptions about me out there that I would even be inclined to address,” she adds.

Despite her reluctance to embrace the spotlight, the internet is still clamouring for the mother of three. Savannah provided some insight into how she manages the intense adoration she receives on social media.

“I’ve gone to therapy. Anything just to find out more about myself and the way that my brain functions in certain situations. I am a woman getting to a certain age and I need to be aging like the most amazing 19-whatever vintage wine on the market. I took a super-heavy intention with my health, moving my body, doing things that may sound weird, and juicing for three months.

“I went on a detox program. I enjoyed it. I felt like I was able to tap into meditation, and my mind was much clearer. I was able to make decisions that I feel like I might have been kind of wavering with had I not done it. It felt spiritual,” savannah adds.
