We’re looking forward to introducing you to Whitney Kerney. Check out our conversation below.
Good morning Whitney, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
The first 90 minutes of my day are really about grounding myself before diving into work. I start by taking my Seed Symbiotic vitamins, feeding my kitten, and making a cup of coffee. Then, I cozy up on the couch with my prayer journal and spend some quiet time writing and reading a chapter from whatever book I’m currently in. After that, I like to get in a quick pilates workout to move my body, then hop in the shower and get ready for the day. This little morning routine really helps me feel centered, energized, and ready to take on the day.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Whitney, I’m the heart behind WK Creative and Love, Whit — two passion-fueled brands that celebrate creativity, femininity, and self-expression.
I built WK Creative as a way to give back to the industries that shaped me into the woman I am today, while Love, Whit was born from the simple but powerful belief that being a girl is healing. Growing up with a single dad, I had to teach myself what femininity meant — and that journey became my way of learning how to love myself and step into who I am. It’s what inspired me to create spaces where other women could experience that same joy, empowerment, and transformation.
Through WK Creative, I help female entrepreneurs in beauty, fashion, and lifestyle build their dream brands through branding, packaging, and website design. With Love, Whit, I create resources, digital products, curated experiences and dreamy events that celebrate the beauty of being a woman while fostering connection and community.
Both brands reflect my personal journey of embracing femininity, empowerment, and purpose — and both are rooted in helping women feel capable of bringing their dreams to life.
Right now, I’m focused on expanding my team at WK Creative, adding PR support for our clients, and continuing to grow Love, Whit’s community through more meaningful experiences. At the core of everything I do is the belief that branding is about so much more than visuals — it’s about the emotions you create, the stories you tell, and the impact you leave behind.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
As a little girl, I used to believe that I was limited in what I could achieve. A lot of that came from not always feeling capable, and from an early fear of rejection that was rooted in my own experiences with abandonment. I thought I had to please everyone to be accepted, which often made me shrink myself, stay quiet, and feel scared to speak up.
Now, I see things differently. I’m still in a work in progress, but I know I am fully capable, worthy, and limitless when I trust in myself and in God’s plan for my life. I’ve let go of people-pleasing and started embracing authenticity instead — because the right opportunities and relationships are drawn to the real me. That shift has been so freeing, and it’s one of the reasons I’m so passionate about helping other women feel capable and empowered through their own journeys, whether it’s in life or through their brand.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
For a long time, I felt like I had to hide my pain — the things I was quietly struggling with — out of fear of rejection, abandonment, or not being “enough.” I thought if I kept it tucked away and only showed the polished, pleasing version of myself, I’d be safe. But really, it only made me shrink myself and stay silent when I had so much more to give.
I started using my pain as power the moment I realized that my story could help someone else feel less alone. Instead of seeing my scars as something to hide, I began to see them as proof of resilience and preparation for what God was calling me into. That shift changed everything.
Today, both WK Creative and Love, Whit are rooted in that belief — that what once felt like broken pieces can actually become the foundation of something beautiful. My pain became my purpose, and now it’s the reason I’m so passionate about creating spaces where women feel capable, celebrated, and empowered.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
The project I’m most committed to, no matter how long it takes, is myself.
I’ve realized over the years that I am the project. Becoming the woman God created me to be, healing from old wounds, unlearning limits I once believed, and continuing to grow in purpose — that’s lifelong work, and it’s the foundation for everything else I create.
Through WK Creative and Love, Whit, I get to pour that growth into my work and into the women I serve. But at the heart of it all, the project is me — showing up more whole, more aligned, and more authentically every single day.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What will you regret not doing?
What I’ll regret most is not showing up as the fullest version of myself. If I let fear hold me back from chasing my goals or stepping into the spaces God has called me to, I know I’d always wonder what could have been.
I also don’t ever want to regret not being obedient to God’s plan. His vision is always bigger than mine, and the moments I’ve trusted Him fully have been the ones that shaped me most.
At the end of the day, I don’t want to look back and realize I stayed small out of fear. I want to know I tried, I went after the dreams in my heart, and I lived as boldly and authentically as I could.
