That’s far from her only professional title, though.
She is also a busy mom, blogger, entrepreneur, and reality TV star.
You might already be familiar with Whitney from her gig on the CMT reality series"Racing Wives.
“Whitney also spoke about several other projects she has going on with Mariel.
The best friends runThe BFF Blog.
Whitney shared her secrets and more.
How would you say “Life in the Fast Lane” differs from “Racing Wives”?
I loved filming “Racing Wives.”
It looks like you guys have such a great time together.
Do you think this show has made you even closer?
Yes, I definitely think so.
We were neighbors for four or five years.
And Austin [and I] bought a house in 2020, so it separated us.
It’s still only 20 minutes away, but still, it’s different when you’re neighbors.
So [the show] forced all of our schedules to come together and definitely made us closer.
We experienced things together filming the show that we wouldn’t normally get to experience and do.
What inspired you guys to come up with the idea for the show?
Was there a moment where you were like, “We should record this for TV”?
It bounced off from “Racing Wives.”
When we were filming “Racing Wives,” 2020 happened, and they just canceled it.
We would love to show RCR and our family and our faith and everything that we are about.
So if it ever comes up, just give us a call.”
We were like, “Oh my gosh, yeah.”
Jenny and her team put it all together.
Then USA bought it a couple of months later.
That’s a good question.
It is the Coca-Cola 600, and they filmed and it’s absolutely amazing.
They have the most amazing footage of the race and all of us on the pit box.
That was probably my favorite, but it hasn’t happened yet.
So it’s coming.
There’s something to look forward to.
Yes, it’s coming.
What’s it been like, as this season is airing, knowing that everyone is watching?
I’m wired differently.
My husband [and I] were actually just talking about this.
They’re like, “Oh my gosh.”
I tend to be too open, so that’s the good thing about our squad.
But it’s been really good because I think that’s what the world needs.
We need people to be who they actually are, not who they’re pretending to be.
Our chemistry is amazing, and we’re a fun group.
And we’re really goofy.
We like to have a lot of fun.
We had so much fun.
Are you sure?"
And they’re like, “Yeah, we’re done.
It was great.”
We were just being who we are, and it was so natural.
There’s not really a story here in “Life in the Fast Lane.”
It was a lot of fun.
Are you interested in doing a 2nd season of the show?
I really hope that we do get a 2nd season.
We had so much fun filming.
It was only for two and a half months, and we have a great crew.
Our crew was phenomenal to work with.
Yeah, we’re hoping for a 2nd season.
I’m wondering what comes with that job title.
I am the therapist.
I am somewhat of the money manager.
I wanted to talk about your blog a little bit.
The BFF from BFF Blog is short for “beauty, fashion, and fitness.”
What are some of your beauty must-haves?
The lip plumper, and then the name of it is Samantha.
If I have my lip gloss and my tan on, I’m feeling good…
I only get ready on the weekends.
Throughout the week, usually I’m not decked out.
I’m running around craz[ily] trying to get prepared for the weekend.
On the weekends, it is a little different …
I have my full glam.
I have my eyelashes.
I have all my stuff on when I go to the racetrack and all that.
Through the week, I’m simple.
How would you describe your style?
I feel like I’m pretty classic.
I really love JLUXLABEL and classic, sexy pieces.
I like a lot of black and whites; I don’t do a ton of color.
So [I would say] probably just classic.
When we were filming “Racing Wives,” we wanted to come up with something that we love.
And we love everything.
[Then] it just fell in our lap.
It was [a] funny thing.
So we were like, “Oh my gosh, yes.
This is amazing.”
We designed every little detail.
They helped us with everything, all the way down to the logo.
Our jewelry is so special because our logo is stamped in the jewelry.
Our jewelry is also very classic.
Mariel has a background in pageantry, so we wanted to make these pieces special.
Do you have a favorite piece that you have created so far?
Probably for both me and Mariel, our favorite is called theTrio Necklace.
It’s always sold out as soon as we get them in.
It has our logo on it, and it’s really clean.
you could wear it with anything.
you could do a lot of fun things.
We were trying to keep everybody in mind while creating these.
Shop the WM, it stands for Whitney and Mariel.
We wanted to make it clean.
Our blog is fun, the BFF Blog: beauty, fashion, and fitness.
Also, we’re best friends, so that’s really fun and girly.
We wanted to make the jewelry company sleek and something that everybody could wear.
The pieces on the website, they’re all very beautiful, very classic.
Do you have plans to do any additional pieces in the future?
Yes, we are actually working on that.
When 2020 hit, our manufacturer crashed.
They ended up going bankrupt and going under, so we lost everything except for what we already had.
So we’re in search [of] that right now.
Wish us luck, because it has been really difficult.
2020 was a serious hit on the world.
Another thing that I saw you’re in the process of developing is a fitness app.
Can you spill any tea about what that will be like?
I have always been fit my entire life.
Even in fifth grade, I had a six-pack.
We wanted to show people, because it really is a science.
You have to feed your body a specific way; you have to work out a certain way.
It all comes down to the science, so we wanted to put that in our app.
What is it like working with your best friend?
It is absolutely everything in the world.
We have so much fun together, and I wish we could do everything together.
We both turn down deals so much because we’d rather do the ones that are together.
We will take less money, but if we’re together, we don’t care.
It doesn’t even matter.
On top of all of your different businesses, you’re both young moms.
How do you balance everything?
That’s the hardest part.
Our life is like a vacation every week.
When you go on vacation every week, you’re thinking about the things that you gotta pack.
You’re thinking about the things that you’re gonna wanna take.
That’s how our lives are for 35 weeks out of the year.
We’re packing and unpacking, and when we get home, Mondays are exhausting.
You have to take it day by day and give yourself a lot of grace.
You’re going to have good days; you’re going to have bad days.
That’s what we live by.
We’re just doing the best that we can do.
Mariel just welcomed Bella.
Are you guys looking forward to play dates between Ace and Bella once Bella’s old enough?
We talk about it all the time.
We’re like, “We cannot wait until Bella gets a little bit older.”
We think they’re going to be best friends just like we are and be thick as thieves …
It goes by so quick.
My mom always says the days are long, but the years are short.
So it’s so important to cherish those moments while you have them.
