Ep. 13 Growing Pains | Why Growing Doesn't Always Feel Like Winning
In lieu of a guest, Whitney uses this week to share how God has been helping to shift her perspective around growth and its relationship to winning. This all started when God told her to take this year off from goal setting — something she would never have considered on her own. And through this no goals year, she’s learning exactly why she’s been so obsessed with goals in the first place.
Whitney recounts the three areas in her life that have been clear areas of growth over the last few years but have felt very humbling, uncomfortable, and very far from winning. She actually took some literal Ls.
Still, she encourages listeners to let the growth happen. She also advises that listeners understand the real implications of Romans 12:2 — be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Once you really understand this, you'll know you don't need a win to know your growth is worth it.

Ep 12. Already Done | How to End a Season with Awareness
In this episode, Whitney recounts her worst academic fear coming true; missing a college final. She uses this story to jumpstart a casual conversation around her feelings of unaccomplishment in the face of an ending season.
Instead of God dismissing her feelings, he walks her through a months-long journey showing her how her inability to recognize answered prayers and fulfilled promises is keeping her stuck in seasons that he wants to end. Whitney shares one of God’s biggest promises kept to date — a huge one—that took her over ten years to recognize.
Whitney’s hope is that listeners will take a look at their own life and notice the places where they’ve missed the hand of God and allow themselves to let seasons end and a fresh, new one to emerge.
“I was standing in the middle of a promise fulfilled and I missed it. How did I miss this?”

Ep. 11 Create Space with Shivawn Mitchell of SAM Studios
In this episode, Whitney sits down with award-winning filmmaker, producer, podcaster, author, and her homegirl, Shivawn Mitchell of SAM Studios, to talk about creativity and telling good stories.
Shivawn shares how she decided to take a leap of faith to pursue a career in film and the mindsets she had to release in order to truly lean into her creative calling.
She also shares why she produces the way she does and how we, as Christian creatives, have the freedom to tell the stories that matter to us and stories that are as layered as we all are.
"We diminish our value because we don't recognize that our stories exude the light. We're shining the light in the darkness, and that doesn't have to be super deep." - Shivawn Mitchell

Ep. 10 Girl v. Gifts | A Lesson on Self-Worth
In this episode, Whitney shares her earliest memory — a holiday gathering where she sings for her family for the first time. This memory represents the beginning of Whitney’s musical journey. It also represents the beginning of her struggles with her self-worth.
And it wasn’t until decades later in the midst of the pandemic that she begin doing the work to change her self-image when God asked her to stop doing and start being.
While the journey hasn’t been easy, she believes it’s absolutely been worth it.
Her advice to anyone struggling with their self-worth: Give yourself time to be — with God, in His presence and the world will truly open up to you.
“Will it feel like a gut punch at times? Yes. Will it be freedom, too? Also, yes.”
