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.
