Failure Is Fun
Savannah Romney at 20 has started a clothing line, a podcast, and a real estate career. She has failed at things along the way. Her reframe: failure is so fun. Not because it doesn’t sting — but because every failure teaches something you can’t learn any other way. Once you get used to that cycle, the unknown stops being terrifying and starts being exciting.
Key Lessons
- • Failure is data, not a verdict — it teaches what can’t be learned any other way
- • Confidence is built by acting despite uncertainty, not before it
- • Once you normalize failure as learning, the unknown becomes exciting rather than terrifying

The Natural Parenting Boutique on Lehi Main Street
Charlene opened a natural parenting boutique — Boot Baby Boutique — in the old Lehi Hotel near the train tracks on Lehi Main Street. The shop sold cloth diapers and baby carriers, but its heart was parent education and community space. She rented from a midwife in a building that also housed a gem shop and wedding dress rentals. The business later moved up to Sandy but represented a season where business and belonging overlapped.

COVID Ends One Chapter and Opens Another
On the day of the Utah earthquake in 2020, Charlene realized parents were not going to bring small children into stores the same way anymore. She folded her boutique quickly, sold her share to co-owners, and stepped away from both retail and nonprofit worlds. She then worked at her children's school as a teacher's aide during COVID, witnessing how everyone banded together to keep things going.

I'm Back, But This Time I'm Helping
Charlene's son was born with needs requiring surgeries. A nurse with child passenger safety training helped her family during the car seat oxygen test. Exactly 12 years later, Charlene began working with Intermountain at Utah Valley Hospital — on the exact anniversary of her son's discharge. Looking at her badge, she thought: 'I'm back, but this time I'm helping people here.'
