🎙️ Episode 27: The Receipts Are Real: $2,000 Lamb Chops, the Fake Mentor and What They Don’t Tell You at the “Boss Babe” Retreats

Series: Rewind & Rise – The Trigger and The Truth Podcast

💡 Episode Summary:

In this raw and revealing episode of The Trigger and The Truth, Tina White takes us back to the early days of her real estate career—when hustle met heartbreak, and the people who should’ve poured into her tried instead to dim her light.

“Show You How To Do This, Hun, NOT” it’s a message for every woman who’s ever been sold a dream wrapped in a certificate, a cold dinner, and empty mentorship. Tina shares the real cost of trusting the wrong leaders, navigating shady brokerages, and trying to hold it all together behind curated Instagram success.

From fake empowerment retreats to toxic "team leaders" who viewed her as competition instead of community, this episode exposes the reality of building something meaningful while fending off sabotage from the very people who should’ve been allies.

This episode is for the women who’ve been underestimated, underpaid, and overextended and still show up.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about truth. And this truth? Might just be yours too.

What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

✅ How fear, perfectionism, and validation culture stalled Tina’s launch for years

✅ The truth about toxic female leadership and fake mentorship in business

✅ Why emotional intelligence isn’t optional—it’s survival

✅ The unspoken burnout of building while pretending you’re okay

✅ Lessons from failed partnerships, shady brokers, and $2K regrets

Key Takeaway:

You don’t need another polished coach or picture-perfect timeline.

You need your own story—and the courage to tell it as it is.
