🎙️ Episode 45: Good Intentions -The Wrong Side of Wrong: The Gap Between Our Intentions and Our Outcomes.

Podcast: The Trigger and The Truth

Host: Tina White

Series: 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 Takeaway

Healing 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.
