Host: Tina White

Episode Description:

In Episode 28 of The Trigger and The Truth, Tina White unpacks one of the most frustrating, unspoken truths about building a career in real estate—and in life: sometimes, the people who should support you are the ones who try hardest to block your shine.

“Still Spending Money From ’88” takes us deep into Tina’s early days as a rookie real estate agent navigating shady brokerages, passive-aggressive "mentors," and the power plays of women who saw her potential as a threat.

This isn’t just about a canceled real estate license.

This is about what happens when ambition meets insecurity—not your own, but theirs.

From earning deals that mysteriously disappeared to having her license dropped without warning, Tina shares how the very people who were supposed to pour into her success instead left her questioning her worth.

This episode is a masterclass in emotional survival, self-worth, and how to navigate toxic dynamics in professional settings—especially when you're the only one in the room who looks like you.
