July Spotlight – Mental Health & Entrepreneurship

Host: Tina White, The Trigger and The Truth

🎧Part 1 of 4: “The Betrayal Nobody Saw Coming”

Overview:

This episode unpacks the shock of being violently betrayed by someone you once trusted—not just personally, but professionally—and the psychological chaos that followed. Tina speaks candidly about how it impacted her ability to function as a leader, a mother, and a businesswoman.

Key Talking Points:

• The moment everything shifted: the assault, the silence, the disbelief.
• Trying to “stay professional” while internally shattered.
• How this betrayal felt like both a personal attack and a business collapse.
• The early signs that were ignored.
• The shame that follows—especially when the person is respected by others.

Quote from Tina:

“I was showing up to Zoom calls with bruises on my heart that nobody could see—and I still had to smile, pitch, and close deals like I wasn’t unraveling behind the scenes.”

💔 Betrayal hurts. But when the person who harms you gets to rewrite the story and still gets celebrated—it’s a deeper kind of pain. In Episode 1 of our new series, Tina White unpacks the moment everything changed and the years of silence that followed.

“When was the last time you were harmed by someone you trusted—and what were you forced to silence in order to keep functioning?”

Question for Listeners:

"Have you ever been forced to defend yourself against a lie louder than your truth?"
