About this episode
In this episode of Happy, Healthy, Whole, and Rich, Tina Brinkley Potts continues the Sacred Rebuke series with a piercing reminder: Stop trimming branches and start exposing roots. Pruning may change appearances, but only roots change reality. Tina unpacks this truth with both personal and global examples: from her own journey of gaining 100 pounds during the pandemic and discovering inflammation — not dieting — was the real root, to the deeper fear fueling men’s attempts to control women’s bodies today. She also exposes the systems that love to trim branches and call it progress — slavery “abolished” while sharecropping and Jim Crow grew back, women “liberated” while financial control remained in place. The branches shift, but the root remains. This episode is a sacred call to dig deep, confront the hidden soil feeding your cycles, and replant yourself in love. If this episode stirred you, don’t just nod along — act. Journal the prompts, share this episode, and start digging into the roots beneath your own branches.
