Promoting awareness through daily Self-care tips, clothes, and open forums on mental health awareness .  Mental health is something that impacts us all.   Let's work together to help others.

Early intervention is important for all children with challenges.   While it is difficult to identify children who may have challenges in the future mental health awareness is important.  Let's work together to assist them and their families with a place to feel accepted.

We all deserve to be well in all aspects of our lives.  Mentally, physically, and spiritually wellness is important.  By allowing others to grow in a place of acceptance we allow each individual to develop their purpose. Removing stigma through mental health awareness, Self-care , and clothes gives them a place for everyone to be well.

Wellness is a necessity for our society to be healthy and happy.  Our children need to be healthy and happy, this means our families need to be healthy and happy.  Which further means we must work on many levels to improve overall well being as a community.  To achieve these levels of wellness, we must apply it towards every possible endeavor. You can apply a wellness approach towards your environment, community, career, belief systems, physical activities, self care, healthy eating, self esteem, and creative activities. Applying wellness in your everyday life will allow you to achieve your full potential and live with passion and purpose.  Helping others live well includes mental health."

Sariah says, “The minute after he told me that I was going to be his ‘ho, that same night is when I began to officially prostitute and start walking the streets and going into the truck driving parking lots and making deals with truck drivers.”

And when she couldn’t make the quota her pimp threatened to kill her. She escaped from him but soon met another pimp who got her hooked on cocaine and crystal meth. Sariah would spend the next eight years being trapped in drug addiction and prostitution. Living in 33 different states with pimps too numerous to count.

Sariah shares, “When I was able to take a shower I would scrub my body. I could never get the smell of whatever man–I didn't even know these men's names–off my body.”

Sariah shares, “I learned being a prostitute that there was only three ways of getting out of what they call ‘the game.’ It was either being sold to another pimp, going to jail, or being dead. And for me, I was sold, physically sold from one pimp to another.”

For over 17 years, Sariah Hastings, lived the life of a prostitute and drug addict searching for the  love she never had.

Sariah shares, “The top two biggest things that led me into a lifestyle of prostitution was money and acceptance.” 

From the time she was a toddler Sariah was exposed to sex and using drugs. At four years old, she was molested by a close relative and would be for years to come. She never said anything.

Sariah recalls, “It got to the extreme point where I just started trying to commit suicide and started cutting myself. I tried to burn my body. I would put fire to my arms just so that I wouldn't feel the pain anymore.”

Sariah shares, “And when she started saying the salvation message to me and to accept Jesus into my heart there was a rush that was like never before that came over my body and there was a warm feeling and just the most peaceful, most serene feeling. I can’t even put into words all of the disgust–the feeling of me constantly wanting to shower and take all this nasty feeling off of my body, it had literally been lifted off of me in that very moment. I no longer had the desire to use crystal meth; I had no desire to smoke cigarettes. That was my first moment of the Holy Spirit just filling me with His love that I had been looking for my whole entire life.”

Soon, Sariah had her baby boy. Now at a faith-based residential program she realized her need to repent.

Sariah says, “I started asking God to forgive me of my sins. Jesus forgave me when He died on the cross. So, if He could forgive my sins and the things that I committed against Him then who was I not to be able to forgive the people that did things to me?”

Today, Sariah has a job in the healthcare industry and living in a new home with her son Noah. She is also a staff assistant at a women’s shelter where she helps women transform their lives through the love of Jesus Christ. She’s written a book about her journey called, No More Games.

Sariah shares, “I love my life today. There's so much freedom in knowing who Jesus is, it's amazing! If you feel that your sins that you have committed are overwhelming and that you'll never be able to be accepted by Jesus Christ, know that no sin is too great for His love.”

Then when she was 28, Sariah found out she was pregnant with her second child by a pimp she was dating. The father of her first child made Sariah give the baby over to her family. This time it would be different.

Sariah says, “And when I found out that I was pregnant, I knew at that moment that something had to change, that I couldn't continue doing the same thing.”

She left her pimp and travelled thousands of miles to a pregnancy resource center in New England. While there a counselor prayed with her.

"Welcome to In the Wake with Whytli.

I am a certified life coach and a mental health advocate. I am also a survivor of sexual and mental abuse. The phrase “in the wake” means the ‘result of something occurring’ and I originally started this podcast as a result of my story and everything I have overcome. I continuously choose to rise up from the trenches and speak up about these various taboo and stigmatized topics. I choose empowerment, growth, and empathy.

As I continue on my healing and self growth journey, I will use my voice to share my truth and insights along with amplifying the voices and stories of others. I interview guests whose messages have resonated with and inspired me.

Tune in for weekly episodes on all things mental health, survivorship, and self help!!"

“Not only is Whytli a dream to work with, but I was blown away by her wisdom and poise as she presented a workshop to my youth group in Utah. She is naturally warm, and especially relatable to teens. Attendees felt at-ease asking a variety of questions. She was never rushed or dismissive of anyone. Whytli doesn’t dwell on the hard things she’s endured—she radiates light and encouragement and seeks genuine connections to others while lifting them up. She offered positive and practical solutions to improve our self-views and mental health. Everyone, not just teens, can benefit from the principles Whytli taught. To see her work in action, especially at such a young age, is truly inspiring!”

Colette Clark – Youth Leader

“Whytli has a passion for spreading her story and message of dating abuse/rape. Whytli was a guest on my podcast ‘Sharing Life Lessons’ and together we organized a webcast called ‘Fireside Chat with Whytli’ in which she eloquently spoke to parents of teenagers on how to discuss consent with their teenagers and also how to detect warning signs of teenager distress. I am hoping to collaborate more with Whytli to get her message out to as many teenagers and their parents as possible. I compliment Whytli for wanting to help others avoid the same bad experiences she went through and I wish her luck in it.”

Hamidah Thanawala – Podcast Host – Sharing Life Lessons

“Whytli is an incredibly well-spoken woman. She and I worked together during the pandemic to offer healing advice to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. She’s knowledgeable about alternative healing methods and is incredibly vulnerable about her own healing journey. I’d never hesitate to send a survivor I work with to Whytli for help. It was so fun working with her. I hope we have opportunities to collaborate again!”

Stevie Croisant – Founder of We Are HER

“Whytli Rogers is an inspirational person. We had the pleasure of hearing her speak in our women empowerment Facebook community. She speaks authentically, from the heart about very real and difficult subjects like; domestic violence, mental health, depression, suicide, and how she found strength to overcome personal adversity through purpose. Her talk really connected with me and other members of our community. She has a positive, easy to relate to energy and her contribution to others through sharing her story is very impactful.”
