We’re back with an exciting new episode of Heart for Hollywood!

Join your host, Krista, as she sits down with the inspiring Whitney Lynn Hancock—Dancer, embodiment & emotional health coach, and events producer—who’s on a mission to heal and empower artists through movement and faith.

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Whitney shares her transformative journey from Redding, CA, to an unexpected season in Mexico, and finally to Los Angeles.

Together, we explore the kind of topics the church doesn't often talk about—like how trauma shows up in the body, how to move through it for real freedom, and the truth that our bodies are not evil but designed to be fully stewarded as the sacred temples they are.

We dive into emotional health, the difference between wishful thinking and true hope, and practical tools for staying grounded as an artist. Whitney brings such wisdom around self-awareness, healing, and embracing the unique identity God has placed in each of us.

The episode ends with a calming breathing exercise and a heartfelt prayer that brings everything full circle.
