Seven Blank Pages & the Power of Rewriting Your Life with Whitney Joy

Imagine losing your job, your marriage, and your home — all at once. Most would see devastation, but author Whitney Joy saw an invitation. In this soul-stirring episode of the Crown Yourself Podcast, Kimberly Spencer dives deep with Whitney into her transformative journey captured in her debut memoir, Seven Blank Pages.

Whitney shares how she turned a quarter-life identity crisis into a spiritual pilgrimage of self-discovery — filling the blank pages of her passport and her soul. From wearing Titanic’s legendary “Heart of the Ocean” gemstone to dancing through heartbreak, Whitney vulnerably reveals how she learned to trust her intuition, reframe failure as freedom, and surrender control to the flow of life.

Together, Kimberly and Whitney unpack the alchemy of transformation — anger as a portal to power, dating apps as divine messengers, and the sovereign practice of seeking internal validation instead of external approval.

If you’ve ever felt like life handed you a plot twist you didn’t see coming, this episode is your permission slip to stop clinging to the past and courageously write your next chapter — one blank page at a time.

Enjoy, sovereigns!
