“I could NOT put this book down! I laughed, cried, learned so much… She has a way of sharing deep, painful stories with grace and humor that speaks to all audiences! She teaches compassion and empathy in the midst of hardship… dealing with our own issues and understanding others. I am better for reading it!”

Hi, friend
What do you do when life keeps knocking you down? When it feels like your mind is at war with your soul?
It’s exhausting, isn’t it? Especially when your battles are invisible to the world.
When you’re hurting, it’s hard to seek encouragement or help… even though it’s exactly what you need. That was true for me, too. I’m really glad you found this resource, I wrote it for you.
Hi, Whitney Paige here
I’ve been through some rough stuff, to hell and back. OCD. Chronic pain. Depression. Anxiety. Celiac Disease. The list goes on. For a long time, I truly believed I was the only one who felt this level of torment. I just wanted someone who understood.
But, one day God helped me see that no matter WHAT I’m going through, there’s always a reason to smile, even in suffering :)
So now, pain is my launching ground. I believe vulnerability has the power to help people feel seen, understood, and less alone. If you’ll let me, I’d love to sit beside you in the muck, point you back to God’s unwavering truth, and give you permission to laugh again.
“If every person has a unique fingerprint…
And every zebra has a unique stripe pattern…
Does every struggle have a unique purpose?”
That’s why I started Whitney Paige Co.
It’s a place I can walk alongside people living with mental and physical suffering and encourage them through writing, design, advocacy, and honest talks about hope… a reminder that you’re never alone.
By His Stripes: An Award-Winning Christian Book on Faith, Suffering, and Hope
The whole reason I wrote this book: to help you feel seen, understood, and a little less alone.
This is the book I wish I’d had when I was deep in the pit. I was searching for a Christian perspective on mental health, suffering, and some kind of hope I could grab onto.
So in this book:
-
We’ll get real and vulnerable. I don’t sugarcoat the hard stuff.
-
We’ll have some brutally honest conversations about OCD, chronic illness, faith, and finding hope when nothing makes sense anymore.
-
I’ll point you back to Biblical truth as you navigate physical or mental health suffering.
-
We’ll definitely laugh, too, because hope is every bit as real as pain. (And life’s heavy enough as it is, am I right?)
-
Oh, and don’t skip the last chapter! Future-you will thank you. It’s packed with some of my favorite books, podcasts, playlists, and other resources to keep encouraging you after you turn the last page.
One of my favorite ways to tell a story is through unique, eye-catching design, so I filled this book with artwork and visuals that help bring its message to life.
“Whether you live with OCD, love someone who does, or simply want to understand it better, By His Stripes is an absolute standout! It’s heartfelt, genuinely funny, and full of humanity. It serves as a beautiful reminder that even in the toughest moments, authenticity, hope, and faith shine through.”

I can’t promise the road suddenly gets easier. But I’d love to walk through these pages with you.
If my book helps even one person feel less alone, it will be worth it.
“By His Stripes is hands down a book you need to read whether you have OCD or not. Whitney will make you laugh, cry, and show you how God works for good no matter what you’re going through.”

Plot Twist… I Do More Than Just Write
Whether I’m writing, designing, or advocating, each one is an expression of the same calling: helping people feel seen, encouraged, and reminded they’re never alone.
-
Design
Good design does more than look beautiful—it communicates, connects, and inspires action. I specialize in thoughtful, polished design that helps businesses, authors, nonprofits, and organizations share their message with confidence.
-
Advocacy
This one’s pretty close to my heart. Living with invisible struggles really gave me deep compassion for people who feel unseen and unheard. Nobody should feel invisible. Whether I’m sharing my story or speaking up for people who are overlooked, I do this to remind them they matter and are seen and loved.
