NAVIGATING LIFE WITH MENTAL AND PHYSICAL SUFFERING
When you are hurting, it's hard to seek encouragement or help, even though it’s needed. That was true for me. But I want to make your journey a bit easier by providing encouragement, hope, and helpful resources, all in one place.
By His Stripes includes stories of hope, the discovery of life-changing perspectives, and a collection of resources for you – including recommendations on helpful podcasts, books, quotes, and playlists to navigate your suffering, moment by moment.
EVERY PERSON HAS A

[rave reviews]
In By His Stripes, Whitney uses her gift with words to share how faith, humor, tenacity, and perseverance have enabled her to meet, identify, and manage multiple chronic medical and mental health challenges. There is no doubt Whitney's story will lift and inspire readers who have faced similar challenges and/or love someone who has. Whitney demonstrates how facing adversity head on leads to growth, wisdom, and connection, and how sharing one's story feeds not only the self but others as well.

Whitney’s raw and authentic depiction of living with anxiety, depression, and OCD, shows readers what it is like to be inside of the mind of those who suffer from mental illness. Whitney uses her faith as well as her humor, to not only survive, but to thrive, in the midst of suffering. This book is a gift to all those who will read.

This remarkable book by Whitney is a must-read for any Christian navigating the challenges of scrupulosity. With her genuine authenticity and humor—along with bravery in sharing her powerful story—she brings deep spiritual insights to life, reminding us that we are defined as unique individuals created by God—not by OCD. Whitney seamlessly weaves together faith, mental health, and self-compassion, offering comfort and clarity to those struggling with OCD, especially when OCD latches onto the thing most important to us: our faith. This book is a true gem, filled with wisdom, warmth, and so much hope. I can’t wait for everyone to read it and feel inspired!
