Welcome to Savage Simplicity | Stories, Strategies & Designing a Life That Works

Episode notes

I’m Bernadette Hill, and welcome to Savage Simplicity - a podcast about real women navigating the messy, complicated, beautiful reality of life. Around here, we believe simplicity isn’t about doing less - it’s about doing what matters. It’s about telling the truth, sharing our stories, and designing a life that works for us. I’m a mom, a continuous improvement expert, and a woman who has rebuilt her life more times than she can count. My journey includes a dysfunctional childhood, addiction and recovery, joblessness, postpartum depression, identity loss, relationship challenges, and career reinvention. These experiences shaped not just my work - but my worldview. Professionally, I’ve spent my career helping people and systems run more efficiently across industries including healthcare, supply chain, and higher education. Personally, I’ve spent just as much time learning how to simplify chaos inside my own home, heart, and history. Savage Simplicity exists because women thrive when we learn from each other.
