Podcast: The Trigger and The Truth

Host: Tina White

Series: Money Matters & Mental Health

In Japanese culture, Gaman is the quiet practice of enduring hardship with dignity. For those of us who grew up during the crack era in America, survival demanded the same thing—only it wasn’t philosophy, it was reality.

In this episode, Tina White unpacks the myth that suffering is required before peace, joy, or abundance can be claimed. She draws parallels between cultural endurance and generational survival, exposing how struggle has been glorified as a necessary toll for success.

From the Fearless Fund being dismantled after creating pathways for Black women founders, to her own creation The Contract Code as a tool for breaking barriers in government contracting, Tina explores how resourcefulness is often punished instead of celebrated.

Key Topics:

• Gaman and survival as unchosen endurance
• Why suffering isn’t proof of worthiness
• Fearless Fund and the backlash against Black women’s innovation
• The psychological toll of living in survival mode
• Mental moves + money moves: reclaiming peace and building ownership

Takeaway: Endurance should be a bridge, not a lifestyle. You don’t have to bleed to be blessed. Peace, abundance, and stability aren’t rewards for suffering—they’re your birthright.

Series: Money Matters - A Bonus Drop in The Trigger and The Truth's September Series: Money Moves & Mental Health

Fear has a way of disguising itself as logic. It whispers “you’re not ready,” “what if you fail,” or “what will they think”—and before you know it, years have passed and you’re still standing in the same place.

In this episode of The Trigger and The Truth, host Tina White breaks down how fear paralyzes progress, silences dreams, and becomes the default operating system for far too many of us. From entrepreneurship to relationships, to money and mental health, Tina unpacks how fear creeps in, why we mistake it for wisdom, and most importantly—how to stop letting fear guide your choices.

You’ll hear about:

• Why fear is a master manipulator that builds walls where doors were meant to be.
• How entrepreneurs lose more to fear than they ever will to failure.
• What happens when fear becomes a lifestyle, shaping every decision and relationship.
• Why crowdsourcing your life decisions is a recipe for disaster, and how to trust yourself (and God) first.
• Practical steps to break free from fear’s grip and start moving forward—even if you have to do it afraid.

Key Quote from Tina White:

“Most of the time, the fear you feel isn’t even yours—it’s projected, inherited, or conditioned. Take your power back. The only voice that matters when it comes to your life is yours, and God’s.”

Whether you’re standing at a crossroads in business, struggling in silence with “what-ifs,” or tired of letting fear dictate your pace, this episode will remind you of one powerful truth: you already have everything you need to move forward.

What happens when you take off the rose-colored glasses

The emotional fallout of tolerating mistreatment
