Host: Tina White

Series: Mental Health Matters

đź“ť Episode Summary:

In this special bonus episode of The Trigger and The Truth, host Tina White reflects on two powerful milestones: celebrating another year of life and watching her “little podcast” break into the Top 40 on Apple Podcasts in the Mental Health category.

What started as an idea delayed by procrastination and perfectionism is now a growing community of nearly 300,000 listeners worldwide. The lesson? Don’t wait for perfect. Don’t wait for ready. Start where you are.

In this episode, Tina explores

  • Why procrastination is often just fear in disguise.
  • How getting out of your own way unlocks momentum and growth.
  • The power of consistency and truth-telling in reaching goals.
  • Why milestones matter, but mindset matters even more.

This is a reminder that it’s always been—and always will be—mind over matter.
