Ever feel like your life is one big, safe bubble… …and yet there’s this whisper in your soul saying, “There’s more”?

That’s exactly where Whitney Joy found herself before she walked away from her husband, her house, and her career in one single day.

No backup plan. No safety net. Just seven blank passport pages and a decision to rewrite her life entirely.

This conversation is an open permission slip to any woman standing on the edge of change whether you’re about to leap, have just been pushed, or are clinging to the railing wondering what’s next.

Whitney and I dive into what it really takes to shed old identities, face the unknown, and step into a version of yourself you haven’t met yet (but she’s going to blow your mind).

Inside the Episode, We Talked About:

In this episode of The Cycle Advantage Podcast, Whitney Joy shares her wild, raw, and soul-stretching journey from adrenaline sports and luxury events… to solo world travel, spiritual transformation, and motherhood.

We unpack:

The identity shifts we face in motherhood, career pivots, and big life changes.
Why fear of the unknown keeps so many women stuck and how to dance with it instead of hide from it.
The sneaky ways we cling to our old selves (and how to lovingly let them go).
Why your next evolution might not look anything like you think and why that’s beautiful.

If you’ve been craving change but clinging to comfort, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode

The moment Whitney walked away from “the perfect life” in 24 hours.
How seven blank passport pages became her roadmap to reinvention.
Why your ego is not the enemy (it just needs better boundaries).
The myth of “getting back to your old self” (and why she’s gone for good).
How to shift from fearing change to playing with possibility.

Key Takeaways You Can Implement Today

Change isn’t the villain. It’s the portal to your next chapter if you let it be.
Fear of the unknown shrinks when you zoom out. The “worst case scenario” usually has about 57 detours before it gets there.
Permission is an inside job. No mentor, spouse, or Instagram guru can give it to you.
You’re not starting over you’re evolving. Pieces of your old self come with you, just in a new shape.

Why It Matters

If you’ve been sitting on that metaphorical porch, whining on the nail (yep, we went there), this episode might just be the nudge to get up.

Your “safe” bubble might be fine… but fine is not where your soul catches fire.

Whitney’s story is proof that you can blow up the script you were handed, start fresh, and create something wildly better even if you have no idea what that looks like yet.

This Episode Is for You If...

You’re feeling stuck in a life that looks “good on paper” but feels flat inside.
You’re navigating a big transition: career, relationships, motherhood, identity.
You’re afraid of change but more afraid of staying the same.
You’ve been waiting for someone to tell you it’s okay to leap.
