Equipping you to love your people well while they’re going through the worst.

A friend in the wilderness makes all the difference.

Pain is all around us- but hurting people don’t need another book, podcast, or program. Do you know what they really need?

They need YOU. You knew them before the tragedy hit. You’re who they’re going to turn to. But, what do you do? What should you say? What does it look like to truly care for them during this time?

Don’t Hold Back equips you with practical tools and invaluable insight that enable you to give gracious and effective help to hurting people when they need it the most.  

“Whitney masterfully invites us to greater living, deeper loving, and higher looking. Her tenacity for uprightness merged with her story-driven teaching style, makes the invitation to love wildly as equally tangible as it is contagious. In just one session, I received a toolbox full of practical steps to make supernatural moves in my life.”

- Kelly Carlson, Founder & CEO of Project Lightwell Foundation

“Whitney is always willing to go into the hard depths with women in pain, surrounding them with extra support yet also giving them the courage to anchor onto hope.”

- Angela Mancini, Founder and Lead Facilitator of Armed and Deployed Curriculum

“Whether you have just found yourself in the valley or you are supporting someone through adversity, your journey forward will be better with Whitney in your corner.”

- Kelly Olson, Founder of The Baton Pass
