Podcast: The Trigger and The Truth

Host: Tina White

Series: Year of the Therapist – Grief, Truth, and the Unspoken

Grief doesn’t come with a timer. It doesn’t fit into a caption. It doesn’t make itself digestible just because people around you are uncomfortable with your pain.

In this raw and necessary episode of The Trigger and The Truth, Tina White opens up the conversation so many try to avoid—what grief really looks like, especially in Black and Brown communities, where silence is praised and stoicism is mistaken for strength.

We talk about why grieving openly is often seen as weakness, how generational and systemic trauma have buried our grief under shame, and what it looks like to actually make space for healing.

This episode is a reminder: Grief is personal. Grief is layered. And however long it takes—it’s valid.

"Stop policing how people grieve. Stop expecting folks to 'get over it' when you never even asked if they were okay. People are grieving in real time while raising children, running businesses, taking care of families, showing up on Zoom calls with a smile—and they’re dying inside.

So my message? Let people grieve how they grieve. Don’t just tolerate it—honor it. Respect it. Pray that the universe gives you the same space and grace one day when your grief shows up."

"Grief is not weakness. It’s a sacred process. And it’s not your job to make it palatable for other people.

If you’re grieving right now—whether you’ve spoken it or not—I see you. I honor you. And I pray you let it out before it burns you from the inside.

This is The Trigger and The Truth. We don’t sugarcoat. We tell it like it is. So if this hit you, share it with someone who’s still hiding their heartbreak. Let this episode be their permission slip."

Grief is not weakness. Grief is the evidence that you loved, that you lost, and that you still care. Let people grieve. Not how you think they should—but however they need.

🎙️ Bonus Episode: God’s Favor Will Let Them Get It Wrong, So You Can Get It Right

Series: Full Disclosure– The Trigger and The Truth Podcast

Host: Tina White

"Welcome back to The Trigger and The Truth. I'm Tina White, and today’s episode is a divine clapback. We’re calling this one: ‘God’s Favor Will Let Them Get It Wrong, So You Can Get It Right.’ Because there are folks out here trying to figure out how you’re still breathing, still building, still blessed and the truth is, it’s not about them. It’s about who walks with you."

Segment 1: Favor Ain’t Random. It’s Righteous.

Let’s talk about this myth: “Favor ain’t fair.”

I disagree. Favor is very fair. It's just not handed out by people—it’s granted by God.

There’s nothing you can fake, forge, or finesse to earn divine favor. It’s an assignment. It’s alignment. You can’t network your way into it. You obey your way into it.

And because favor is fair, it often shows up in ways folks don't expect. That’s why people get mad—it didn’t come through them. And when God puts favor on your life, He’ll absolutely let someone get it wrong so He can publicly make it right.

Segment 2: Delusional Demons Be Mad at Your Assignment

Some of y’all got people who are angry with you for something you didn’t even ask for.

You didn’t force this calling. You didn’t apply for this anointing. You were chosen.

So, to the delusional demons:

You mad at me over something GOD gave me?

That’s a battle you’re never gonna win.

Because here's what I know:

• You can lie on me, but the truth will still show up.
• You can block my name, but you can’t block my favor.
• You can walk away, but you can’t walk off what’s been written.

Segment 3: God Will Use the Wrong Ones to Reveal the Right Path

Sometimes God lets the enemy in the room not to destroy you, but to expose them.

Sometimes He’ll allow someone to sabotage a deal, walk out on you, or slander your name so He can redirect you into what’s really yours.

That betrayal wasn’t a delay. It was divine rerouting.

That closed door wasn’t rejection. It was redirection.

Let them get it wrong. God’s gonna use their wrong to set your right in motion.

Segment 4: You Just Have to Stay Aligned

The secret to walking in favor is alignment.

Not popularity. Not perfection.

Alignment.

Stay in position. Stay in obedience. Stay in truth.

Because no weapon formed against you shall prosper—but some weapons will form. You just won’t be destroyed by them.

"Some of y’all were crying over closed doors that God slammed shut for your protection. You were grieving what He never meant for you to keep. But I’m here to remind you—God’s favor is still on you. Even after the betrayal. Even after the heartbreak. Even after they got it wrong.

So stay aligned. Stay faithful. And when they ask how you did it? Tell ‘em: it was favor. And yes, it was very fair."

Subtitle: "Every Action Has an Echo — And Karma Keeps Receipts"

Series: Full Disclosure– The Trigger and The Truth Podcast

Host: Tina White

In this episode of The Trigger and The Truth, Tina White breaks down karma—not as some abstract, cosmic justice system, but as real-life, everyday accountability.

This isn’t about revenge, superstition, or waiting for the universe to “handle it.” It’s about alignment, respect, and reciprocity.

Because the truth is, the energy you give will return—and it doesn’t need your permission to do so.

Whether it’s in how you treat your partner, raise your children, speak to your team, or move in business—your actions echo. And karma keeps receipts.

This episode is a reminder for anyone who’s ever said “it’s just business” while betraying trust… for anyone who moves recklessly and calls it strategy… for anyone who thinks they’re above accountability: your karma might not come today, but it’s already on the calendar.

🧠 What You’ll Learn:

• Why karma is less about mysticism and more about emotional math
• How generational energy—good or bad—gets passed down
• The quiet consequences of betrayal, manipulation, and deception
• What emotional debt looks like in real life (and why it’s time to pay it off)
• How to build alignment through integrity, compassion, and truth-telling

💬 Tina Says:

“Karma doesn’t miss. You might not see it in the moment, but it always shows up. In your peace. In your parenting. In your partnerships. The real question is—are you proud of what’s coming back to you?”

Subtitle: Confused, Complicated, and Carrying It Alone – The Emotional Reset Men Deserve

Series: Full Disclosure– The Trigger and The Truth Podcast

Host: Tina White

This episode sits with the truth that’s often avoided. In too many households, men are suffering silently from things that were never their fault but have shaped every part of their lives.

Tina White opens the door to a conversation about what happens when pain goes unspoken and wounds go untreated. From childhood violations to confusion around identity, from emotional shut-down to hypersexuality, this episode explores how unresolved trauma becomes the driving force behind destructive behavior.

You may know him. Maybe you are him. The man with the sharp edge, short temper, multiple children in multiple homes, always in some kind of chaos, emotionally closed off. Sometimes that’s a conscious choice. But other times, it’s a cover for confusion, shame, and unprocessed trauma dating back to when someone crossed a line that should’ve never been crossed.

Many men have never been offered a space to speak about what happened. They were raised to power through, to lead while broken, to provide without ever unpacking the pain they’ve buried. Some don’t even know that the chaos they cause is a result of wounds they never asked for.

And in protecting secrets, families sacrifice healing.

This is not a conversation about blaming anyone. It’s about drawing a line. A choice to face what’s real. Because hiding the truth won’t protect your children. And silence will not save your relationships.

Real healing starts with full honesty—especially with yourself.

• How generational trauma shapes emotional patterns
• What happens when silence becomes a father’s legacy
• Why emotional neglect is often mistaken for discipline
• The hidden cost of “being strong” in the absence of support
• What it takes to break the cycle and choose healing over harm

💬 “You can’t lead with clarity when you’re living in confusion. And your children deserve more than your pain recycled.”

If you’ve never had the language for what’s been holding you back, this episode gives it to you. It’s not too late to stop performing and start healing.

🎧 Tap in. Then pass it on.

Series: Rewind & Rise – The Trigger and The Truth Podcast

Host: Tina White

In Episode 28 of The Trigger and The Truth, Tina White unpacks one of the most frustrating, unspoken truths about building a career in real estate—and in life: sometimes, the people who should support you are the ones who try hardest to block your shine.

“Still Spending Money From ’88” takes us deep into Tina’s early days as a rookie real estate agent navigating shady brokerages, passive-aggressive "mentors," and the power plays of women who saw her potential as a threat.

This isn’t just about a canceled real estate license.

This is about what happens when ambition meets insecurity—not your own, but theirs.

From earning deals that mysteriously disappeared to having her license dropped without warning, Tina shares how the very people who were supposed to pour into her success instead left her questioning her worth.

This episode is a masterclass in emotional survival, self-worth, and how to navigate toxic dynamics in professional settings—especially when you're the only one in the room who looks like you.

✅ Why emotional intelligence is your #1 business tool

✅ The real reason some “mentors” gatekeep instead of guide

✅ How to recognize when a space is no longer serving you

✅ What to do when you’ve done everything right—and still get pushed out

✅ How to bounce back when betrayal blindsides your business

"They said they wanted to teach me. But the minute I showed promise, the support disappeared. My presence wasn’t the problem—their projection was."

Series: Rewind & Rise – The Trigger and The Truth Podcast

In this raw and revealing episode of The Trigger and The Truth, Tina White takes us back to the early days of her real estate career—when hustle met heartbreak, and the people who should’ve poured into her tried instead to dim her light.

“Show You How To Do This, Hun, NOT” it’s a message for every woman who’s ever been sold a dream wrapped in a certificate, a cold dinner, and empty mentorship. Tina shares the real cost of trusting the wrong leaders, navigating shady brokerages, and trying to hold it all together behind curated Instagram success.

From fake empowerment retreats to toxic "team leaders" who viewed her as competition instead of community, this episode exposes the reality of building something meaningful while fending off sabotage from the very people who should’ve been allies.

This episode is for the women who’ve been underestimated, underpaid, and overextended and still show up.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about truth. And this truth? Might just be yours too.

✅ How fear, perfectionism, and validation culture stalled Tina’s launch for years

✅ The truth about toxic female leadership and fake mentorship in business

✅ Why emotional intelligence isn’t optional—it’s survival

✅ The unspoken burnout of building while pretending you’re okay

✅ Lessons from failed partnerships, shady brokers, and $2K regrets

You don’t need another polished coach or picture-perfect timeline.

You need your own story—and the courage to tell it as it is.

"Welcome back to The Trigger and The Truth. I’m Tina White, and this is Part 3 of our July Spotlight: DARVO in Real Life.

The betrayal happened. The lies spread. The isolation set in. And then... life kept moving.
