Trafficked By Blood: A Road Trip, a Wheel Well, and Betrayal

Host: Tina White

Podcast: The Trigger and The Truth

In this gripping episode, Tina White shares an unthinkable moment of betrayal — one that could have cost her everything. Just after arriving to the destination on a family road trip, she discovers that someone in her own bloodline secretly placed illegal drugs in her car’s wheel well, endangering not only her freedom but the lives of her children. What happens when the threat doesn’t come from the streets — but from your own family?

Trafficked By Blood dives deep into the trauma of being set up by those who are supposed to protect you. Tina explores how betrayal by family hits differently, how these moments affect your nervous system, and what it means to reclaim your power in the aftermath. This episode is about more than just survival — it’s about spiritual warfare, reclaiming your peace, and choosing yourself even when it means walking away from those who share your DNA.

• Why family betrayal creates deeper trauma and confusion

• How your body holds the weight of being placed in harm’s way

• The power of trusting your instincts, even when it hurts
