Whitney Virden didn’t think she had a creative bone in her body until she did some soul searching following a tragic event that occurred in her family. That event instigated major reflection and life altering changes where she reprioritized her life and changed direction to focus more on her family and kids.  She severed ties with her traditional 9-5 job where she traveled for work. This break allowed her time to explore a different career – one that was completely different than what she attended college for – and her love for floral design was born.

Whitney is the Owner of Roots and Blooms Floral Shop located in Bartlesville and Pawhuska, OK. Over the past few years, she has aligned herself spiritually, creatively, and emotionally and can clearly see her path to purpose. When I caught up with Whitney, she was selected to be among the floral artists in the Art in Bloom show at The Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa. This experience resulted in winning first place from the guests votes!

During this visit you’ll hear Whitney’s career path in business, how tapping into her creativity revealed her artistic heart, and why she believes that everyone has some creativity; they just have to find it!
