Survivor Season 49 Winner on Love, Trust & Winning at Relationships with Savannah Louie

What does it really take to win—in love, life, and on one of the toughest shows on television?

This week on Shot At Love, Kerry Brett sits down with Survivor Season 49 winner Savannah Louie for a powerful conversation about confidence, resilience, vulnerability, relationships, and trusting your instincts when everything is on the line.

Savannah shares how she manifested her Survivor journey from childhood, applying for the show for years before finally stepping onto the island—and winning. She opens up about the power of visualization, mental preparation, and why believing in yourself is often the first step toward success.

Kerry and Savannah explore how Savannah’s background as a journalist helped her dominate the game. From reading body language and building trust quickly to staying calm under pressure, Savannah explains why people skills matter just as much in dating as they do in Survivor.

The conversation also takes a deeper look at Savannah’s real-life relationship, including how competing on Survivor tested her partnership, what anxious attachment taught them both, and how communication helped them grow stronger together.

They also discuss:

• Why confidence starts with asking “Why not me?”
• How vulnerability builds deeper connection
• Why observation is power in dating and life
• The danger of being physically present but emotionally distracted
• What reality TV fame taught Savannah about relationships
• Why timing matters more than forcing outcomes
• How to know when the right opportunity is finally yours

This is one conversation you don’t want to miss.

3 Dating Takeaways from Savannah Louie

1. Believe You’re the Prize Confidence changes everything. Stop asking “Why would they choose me?” and start asking “Why not me?”
2. Vulnerability Creates Intimacy People connect with what’s real—not perfection. Let people see the truth of who you are.
3. Observe Before You Invest: Not every opportunity is meant for you. Watch actions, trust patterns, and choose wisely.

Keep Swinging: What Beep Baseball, Blind Athletes & Fearless Living Teach Us About Love, Confidence & Possibility

Episode Overview

What if the only thing standing between you and a completely different life… is one swing?

This episode doesn’t just land—it hits.

Recorded after an unforgettable moment at Fenway Park, Kerry sits down with Wynter Pingle and Johnny Coe—two people who redefine what it means to show up, trust the process, and go after something before you feel ready.

Wynter is a blind musician, runner, athlete, and chef. Johnny is her teammate, guide, and creative counterpart. Together, they pull you into the world of beep baseball—a sport built on trust, instinct, and courage.

• What trust really looks like (on the field and in relationships)

• Why community is the missing piece for so many people feeling stuck

Standout Moments

• “Until you’re dead, you can always discover new parts of yourself.”

• “People living their lives right are always just a little bit scared.”

• “It doesn’t matter if I beat someone else. What matters is if I beat what I thought I could do.”

• “You miss every shot you don’t take—so keep swinging.”

Love Story takes us inside one of the most iconic and misunderstood relationships of our time—Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and John F. Kennedy Jr., through the lens of someone who knew her personally. This episode offers a rare and intimate look beyond the headlines and into the truth of who Carolyn really was.

Kerry Brett sits down with celebrity writer Jonathan Soroff, who shared a real friendship with Carolyn before and during her rise into the global spotlight. Together, they revisit the 1990s, a time before social media, when mystery still existed—and how that intrigue became part of Carolyn’s allure.

This conversation explores the tension between love and fame, the pressure of constant media attention, and the emotional cost of being in a relationship that the world is obsessed with. Jonathan shares behind-the-scenes stories that reveal Carolyn’s character, her boundaries, and the quiet strength that made her unforgettable.

They also discuss the current cultural fascination with their relationship and what gets lost when real lives are turned into entertainment. It raises important questions about privacy, perception, and the way society projects meaning onto couples we don’t truly know.

At its core, this episode is about more than a famous love story—it’s about understanding the power of boundaries, the importance of self-worth, and why the most compelling relationships aren’t always the most visible.

Kerry Brett closes the episode with dating insights inspired by Carolyn’s approach to love, reminding listeners that attraction grows over time, boundaries set the tone, and the right person will rise to meet you when you hold your value.

Today’s guest is Evan Marc Katz, a trailblazing dating coach who has spent more than two decades helping women understand men and create lasting relationships. Often described as the world’s first dating coach, Evan built his career on one central mission: helping women stop repeating painful dating patterns and start attracting the kind of partner who wants commitment.

Evan shares how his own experiences as a serial dater led him to study relationship dynamics and eventually build a coaching practice devoted to helping women navigate the modern dating landscape. His insights have been featured in major media outlets including CNN, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal.

During the episode, Kerry and Evan talk about why chemistry alone is not enough to sustain a relationship, how to identify the difference between attraction and compatibility, and why many successful women unknowingly choose partners who are emotionally unavailable.

Evan also discusses the mindset shifts that can transform someone’s dating life, including learning to recognize red flags early, focusing on consistency over intensity, and understanding the qualities that lead to long-term partnership.

If you feel like you’ve done everything right in life but still haven’t found the right relationship, this conversation offers powerful insight into why—and what you can do differently moving forward.
