    In this week's episode of the Money Magic podcast episode, Vangile talks about explore the transformative journey of evolving from the Fixer Money Archetype to the Sovereign One.   She delves into the origins of the Fixer archetype and explains how unresolved trauma often manifests as a need to control our environment, particularly within family dynamics.   Vangile explains how the need to control is deeply rooted in trauma responses, including feelings of powerlessness, fear, and a desire to avoid vulnerability. She discusses how control may initially create a sense of safety but can have unintended consequences—from fostering dependency and resentment to reinforcing dysfunctional family patterns. These dynamics can block authentic connection, erode boundaries, and perpetuate cycles of over-responsibility and burnout.   This episode also examines how the Fixer archetype impacts family relationships, preventing others from developing self-reliance and stifling mutual growth.    She also explores the Sovereign archetype as the evolved state of the Fixer. The Sovereign One leads with confidence, trusts themselves and others, sets clear boundaries, and creates relationships built on trust and mutual respect.    This is another insightful episode.

If they have a hobby that's fun, that hobby is making money for them.” “One of the things a Fixer has to do is heal their God Wound because they have a God complex.” “A true Fixer will work on finding a solution to their income problems and work to make it happen, no matter what.”       Additional money trauma resources:   One on One Coaching: https://www.wealthy-money.com/coaching  Money Magic course: https://www.wealthy-money.com/moneymagic  7 Day Tapping into Ancestral Money Wisdom Training: https://wealthy-money.com/training Let's connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vangilemakwakwa/

    In this podcast episode, Vangile talks about the Destroyer Archetype which is known for rebellion and bringing family secrets to light, often seen as difficult or an outcast.   The Destroyer archetype is someone who often rebels against family norms and is seen as a "black sheep." Destroyers carry a strong sense of independence, yet this can lead to feelings of isolation.   The Destroyer's journey is often marked by deep wounds, including feelings of abandonment, rejection, and self-doubt. Growing up in chaotic environments can lead to difficulties managing finances.   Vangile explains that Destroyers, though often misunderstood, play a crucial role in family dynamics. They bring hidden truths and secrets to light, often disrupting the status quo. This role can be painful but ultimately leads to healing and growth within the family.   The Destroyer's wounds of not belonging can create an overwhelming fear of failure, particularly regarding money. This can result in stagnation, where this archetype remains stuck in unsatisfying financial situations.   In an effort to feel a sense of belonging or acceptance, Destroyers may overcompensate by spending excessively on material goods or experiences.   This is another insightful episode. Tune in!   During this episode, you will learn about:   [02:08] - Introduction to the podcast [04:00] - Discussion on the destroyer archetype [08:27] – The Destroyer's role in the family [17:32] - Challenges faced by destroyers in following traditional financial advice [20:37] - Introduction to the destroyer archetype's characteristics [24:59] - Importance of the destroyer archetype [30:32] - The independence of destroyers and their challenges in adulthood [35:00] - Importance of healthy conflict initiated by destroyers [39:39] - Core wounds of the destroyer archetype and their financial impact [45:41] - Impact of fear of being too much [49:39] - How fear of rejection affects destroyers' finances [54:02] - The healing journey of the destroyer archetype [58:17] - Releasing thoughts and emotions in the body [01:01:16] - Transition from destroyer to renovator archetype [01:02:39] - Explanation of the renovator's role in the family [01:06:57] - How healing affects destroyers' financial behavior [01:11:18] - The Destroyers' financial transformation after healing [01:19:30] - Information on purchasing the book and accessing resources [01:23:47] - Introduction to one-on-one coaching and its benefits [01:33:47] – Closing remarks    Notable Quotes       "The destroyer reveals and may actually display all the hidden toxic behaviour in the family, often in a violent and unpleasant manner."       "The fixer archetype is the strongest energetically in the family. The second strongest is the destroyer."     "Once you understand your archetype and you start to understand your main way of interacting with money, you can start to see when you are being triggered by money.”       "We all have different reasons for not being able to make money."       "For change to happen, you have to have some chaos. You have to have some friction."   “A destroyer that conforms impacts their income because it goes against their soul-patterning around how they are here to make money."   Additional money trauma resources:   One on One Coaching: https://www.wealthy-money.com/coaching  Money Magic course: https://www.wealthy-money.com/moneymagic  7 Day Tapping into Ancestral Money Wisdom Training: https://wealthy-money.com/training Let's connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vangilemakwakwa/

    In this episode of the Money Magic podcast, Vangile Makwakwa is focuses on understanding the Sweet One Money Archetype. The Sweet One is empathetic and generous, often putting others' needs before their own. While this makes them caring and compassionate people, it can also lead to financial challenges like debt due to overgiving and struggles with setting boundaries.     In this episode Vangile emphasizes the importance of addressing the "not good enough" wound to improve financial behaviour. This involves self-compassion and self-validation instead of seeking external approval.     Vangile also explores the challenges Sweet Ones face in pricing their services and seeking salary increases due to fear of judgment and conflict.   This discomfort with charging often translates to the Sweet One giving their services away for free or undercharging drastically, which, while temporarily preserving relationships, ultimately leads to financial stress.   The Sweet One may even experience guilt for wanting fair compensation (that's a vow of service), perceiving it as selfish or out of alignment with their identity as a giver.   Vangile also does an EFT Tapping session on pricing and salary anxiety.   This is another insightful episode.

    In this week's episode Vangile talks about the God Wound and her personal experiences and insights from her own journey, highlighting how she discovered her anger and resentment towards the Divine. She recounts how her intense efforts in spiritual practices, such as chanting and EFT tapping, were often driven by a subconscious desire to prove the unfairness of the Divine.  This internal conflict created resistance to financial success and personal expansion. Through deep inner work and meditations, she uncovered vows she had made to highlight her suffering and prove the divine's unfairness, which were major blocks to her financial growth. She also discusses research that supports the impact of trauma on religious beliefs and practices, noting how external threats and communal sacrifices can strengthen religious bonds and resilience.  She explores the idea that suffering is often seen as sacred and how this belief can hinder financial success and personal joy.

She highlights the changes in human consciousness and economic systems over time, leading to the current fiat money system and the emerging cryptocurrency. She also introduces the concept of the spirit of money and money archetypes, which have evolved alongside these monetary systems, reflecting different roles and relationships with money throughout history. The concept of the spirit of money is central to Vangile's work, where she encourages clients to meditate and connect with their unique spirit of money. This connection helps uncover deep-seated beliefs and traumas related to money, often passed down through generations. She shares her personal experience with the spirit of money, which initially appeared to her as a clown, symbolizing her fear and negative perception of money. In addition to the spiritual aspects, Vangile emphasizes practical daily money routines to improve financial health.

    In this week's episode of the  MoneyMagic Podcast, Vangile talks about the vow of service, which is a commitment many of us make, sometimes consciously, often unconsciously, to dedicate our lives to serving others. This vow can span across lifetimes and may even have roots in our ancestral lineage. Those who take this vow often find deep fulfillment in helping others, yet it can also lead to challenges like financial strain and burnout. In the podcast Vangile shares examples from her own family, like nurses and teachers who work tirelessly without charging appropriately for their services, highlighting the connection between this vow of service and the struggle to set boundaries and charge fairly for one's work. She recounts her personal experience with the vow of service, which she discovered through past life regression therapy. She shares how a past life as a nun in the Catholic Church, where she took a vow of service without compensation, impacted her current life. And how this vow eventually led to years of writer's blog and stage fright. The discussion also touches on the vow of invisibility, which often intertwines with the vow of service, where she explains how this vow manifests as a reluctance to be seen or acknowledged for one's contributions, leading to feelings of being unappreciated and unseen. Vangile also shares how she and her clients work to heal the vow of service and vow invisibility. This is another insightful episode.

"There's no really final or finite death unless the soul comes to the point where it chooses, or no, no, chooses is the right word, but incarnates to the point where it has gained enough wisdom not to want to come back." "One way to also look at a vow service is when we find ourselves stuck at a particular income set point." “I'm a huge, huge believer in pricing appropriately so that we can get the support that we need."   Additional money resources: One on One Coaching: https://www.wealthy-money.com/coaching  7 Day Tapping into Ancestral Money Wisdom Training: https://wealthy-money.com/training Let's connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vangilemakwakwa/

Ndumi explains that previous generations had little money to discuss, leading to a lack of financial transparency in families. This culture has persisted, making it difficult for current generations to talk about money openly. She also highlights how not being taught boundaries as children impacts one's ability to set boundaries as adults, affecting various aspects of life, including finances. She provides practical advice on how parents can better honor their children's boundaries and teach them about setting financial boundaries, emphasizing the importance of listening and validating their feelings .

It's interesting how sometimes there's a superpower in us that is guiding our way. I don't know if it's our soul spirit or whatever, but it feels as if I had some invisible hand pushing me through a certain journey.  Money is also a multiplier of impact. The more money you make, the more impact you can make in the world. Do things, start somewhere, do something. And then the more you do, the more the answers will come to you. Don't think about it. Thinking is not going to get you the answers, but doing will. We can be a visionary. We can keep innovating, moving on, but let there be space of being grateful for what we achieved already.
