🎙️ Episode 45: Good Intentions -The Wrong Side of Wrong: The Gap Between Our Intentions and Our Outcomes.Podcast: The Trigger and The TruthHost: Tina WhiteSeries: Mental Health Matters📝 Episode Summary:We’ve all been there, doing something with the best of intentions, only to realize later that the outcome caused harm. In this episode of The Trigger and The Truth, host Tina White explores the gap between what we meant to do and what actually happened—and why learning to own the impact of our actions is one of the hardest, but most necessary, parts of healing.🔎 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:The Intention Trap: Why saying “I didn’t mean to” doesn’t erase harm.Omission vs Transparency: How withholding details can be just as damaging as lying.The Impact on Mental Health & Relationships: How defending intentions while ignoring outcomes erodes trust and creates cycles of guilt, anxiety, and mistrust.The Power of Accountability: Why true growth begins when we own our outcomes—not just our motives.Through real-life style stories—from family dynamics to relationships to workplace examples—this episode unpacks the messy space between our hearts and our habits, our motives and our mistakes.💡 Key TakeawayHealing isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being real. And real means taking responsibility for the impact we’ve had, even when our intentions were good. That’s where repair begins.✨ Call to ActionHave you ever found yourself hiding behind good intentions?

Episode 43: Who Hurt You? The Origin of the Broad Stroke A Healing Episode for People Tired of Being Triggered
🎙️ Episode 43: Who Hurt You? -The Origin of the Broad Stroke A Healing Episode for People Tired of Being Triggered by Ghosts From Their PastPodcast: The Trigger and The TruthHost: Tina WhiteSeries: Mental Health Matters📝 Episode Summary:In this episode of The Trigger and The Truth, Tina White takes us deep into a pattern many of us fall into: using one painful experience as the paintbrush to color every person, relationship, or opportunity that reminds us of that hurt.This is what I call “The Broad Stroke.” It feels like protection, but in reality, it limits us. When we place people in categories they don’t belong in, we stop seeing them for who they are and start seeing them as ghosts of our past. That cycle not only keeps us stuck—it can poison our relationships, our careers, and even our ability to trust ourselves.Through real-life reflections, including examples from the workplace and relationships, this episode explores:How broad strokes create self-fulfilling prophecies.Why mislabeling people damages connection and growth.The mental health impact of carrying old wounds into new spaces.A path toward breaking the loop, reclaiming peace, and protecting your nervous system.💡 This is a healing episode for anyone tired of being triggered by memories, mistrust, or old narratives that no longer serve you.✨ Call to ActionYour story matters here.

The Cut Throat Committee – An Inappropriate Response to Reality
🎙️ Episode 41: The Cut Throat Committee – An Inappropriate Response to RealityPodcast: The Trigger and The TruthHost: Tina WhiteSeries: Mental Health Matters📝 Episode Summary:Episode 41: Cut Throat Committee – An Inappropriate Response to RealitySome enemies come dressed like friends, coworkers, or family. But let’s be real, sometimes the most dangerous member of the cut throat committee is you.In this episode, I get into the uncomfortable truth: self-deception. The lies we tell ourselves to make bad decisions feel safe. The way we pretend not to know the consequences of our actions. And how we sabotage our own peace by letting people cross boundaries we should’ve enforced.I share a personal story about a close friend who has convinced herself to normalize betrayal, and how that example mirrors the way so many of us live in inappropriate responses to reality. From accepting lies to ignoring red flags, we cut our own throats when we choose comfort over truth.What you’ll take away from this episode:Why self-deception is the most destructive form of betrayal.The difference between their truth and THE truth.How to recognize when you’re responding to feelings instead of facts.What appropriate responses to reality look like in everyday life.Why holding yourself and your friends accountable is an act of love.This episode isn’t about judgment, it’s about alignment. Because until you stop pretending, the lies will always have meaning.👉 Tune in now to The Trigger and The Truth Podcast.#TheTriggerAndTheTruth #CutThroatCommittee #MentalHealthMatters #HealingJourney #RealConversations #SelfDeception #FaceTheTruth
