Hi! I’m Whitney. A 35 year old mental illness warrior living in HTX.

I am a proud TEXAN born and raised with a few quick stops, the best ones being NYC and The Plains (War Eagle!) before making my way back home to Houston.

I’m excited to share my journey while raising awareness & ending the stigma that exists around mental illness.

Join me on my journey. Mental Illness + Lifestyle!

XO, Whit Web
