Podcast: The Trigger and The Truth

Host: Tina White

Series: Mental Health Matters

As we transition from summer to autumn, life feels like it shifts gears. Students head off to school, parents adjust to new roles, and entrepreneurs push through the final quarters of the year. Change brings new opportunities, but it also brings weight—the hidden leaks in our boat that can quietly sink us if we don’t address them.

In this episode, Tina White takes us inside a raw and necessary conversation about what happens when we ignore those “holes.” Drawing from her own lived experience with dysthymia—a mild but long-term depression—she reveals the cost of constantly pushing forward without rest, reflection, or boundaries.

Through the metaphor of “holes in the boat,” Tina explores secret sabotage, energy drainers, and the ways we quietly sabotage our own mental wellness. She also revisits the why behind this podcast, reflecting on how far The Trigger and The Truth has come, and why protecting our peace is essential in every season of life.

• The Reality of Dysthymia: Functioning every day while carrying a persistent sadness.
• Holes in the Boat: How ignoring energy leaks—through overextending, self-sabotage, or unprocessed pain—drains us.
• Secret Sabotage: Recognizing the subtle ways others and even we ourselves undermine our peace.
• Re-Examining the Why: Returning to the original mission behind The Trigger and The Truth as we head into a new season.
• Mental Wellness Tools: Therapy, boundaries, reflection, community, and self-compassion as essential practices.

You can’t row harder and expect to stay afloat if your boat has holes. Healing requires slowing down, identifying where the leaks are, and patching them with intentional practices that protect your mental health and energy.

📝 Episode Summary: Relationships thrive on balance—but when one person consistently gives more than the other can (or will) return, collapse is inevitable. In this episode, Tina White takes us on a deep dive into why imbalanced relationships form, why they drain us, and how to reposition people instead of resenting them.

This conversation is rooted in personal story, reflection, and practical insight on how to build healthier dynamics in friendships, family, romance, and even professional life.

• The Imbalance We Create: How giving too much access to people who haven’t earned it sets us up for disappointment.
• Why Imbalance Happens: The desire to be needed, overestimating others’ capacity, weak boundaries, and fear of letting go.
• The Power of Repositioning: Why some people don’t need to be cut off—just moved to the right place in your life.
• Therapy’s Role: How self-work helps us untangle over-giving and rebuild from balance.
• The Relationship Inventory: A challenge to assess who really deserves access to your time, energy, and heart.

Imbalanced relationships will eventually collapse. Protecting your peace means evaluating who you give access to—and repositioning people where they truly belong. Balance is the gift you give yourself.

Which relationships in your life need to be repositioned instead of cut off?

📝 Episode Summary: We’ve all been there. Someone from your past, romantic, professional, or even family tries to circle back into your life after mistreating you, undervaluing you, or listening to outside noise instead of trusting their own experience with you. They come with excuses, half-truths, or a sob story, hoping for another chance.

• Why We Let People Back In: How compassion, hope, and the need for closure can blur into reconciliation.
• The Rewrite Problem: Why people often return rewriting history, making excuses, and dodging accountability.
• Interrupting Karma: How rescuing someone from regret only shields them from the lessons they need to learn.
• The Mental Health Connection: Why carrying someone else’s regret leads to anxiety, insecurity, mistrust—and why boundaries are vital for your healing.

Forgiveness doesn’t mean access. Protecting your peace means letting people sit with the consequences of their choices. Their regret is not your responsibility to ease.

Have you ever let someone spin the block, only to realize nothing had changed? Or maybe you’ve learned the hard way that rescuing someone only hurt you twice?
