Whit's Adventures and Blog
Welcome, friend! I'm Whitney Roehl, I'm a recovering Striver. What is a striver?

First, hope is not...
Grief is a weird but necessary part of life. No one escapes this emotion. Grief is a deep sorrow, especially caused by someones death. It's strange too because different people handle this process very differently. If you've ever experienced grief, then you're aware of how complex...
Pressure.
It's described as continuous force exerted on or against.
When growing in business or a business it’s easy to fall into pressure.
