    She describes how addiction can lead to financial instability, legal issues, and increased stress. Her story highlights the importance of addressing financial trauma and finding ways to heal and rebuild one's life after such experiences.

  • 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 challenges the notion that divinity requires suffering and suggests that a relationship with the divine can be based on joy, expansion, and love instead.

  • In this episode of the Money Magic Podcast, Vangile introduces the concept of the "God Wound," a term she coined to describe a deep-seated inability to trust and surrender to the divine, which affects financial growth and decision-making.

    She explains that this wound is not about religious trauma but rather about the relationship individuals have with their inner divinity and the broader concept of divinity, which can impact their financial set points.

    She shares her personal journey of uncovering and healing her God Wound, which included ancestral memories of loss and deep-seated beliefs that nothing would work out for her, affecting her ability to take risks and grow her business.

    This work led to significant financial breakthroughs, including an increase in her business income from $2,500 to $8,000 a month.

    Vangile describes how her healing process involved meditation, EFT tapping, and conversations with her ancestors to understand and release these limiting beliefs.

    She emphasizes that healing the God Wound allows individuals to open up to the universe's support and trust in their own divinity, leading to greater financial abundance and personal growth.

  • In this week’s episode of the #MoneyMagic Podcast, Vangile interviews Tapiwa Guzha, an entrepreneur and founder of the famous Tapi Tapi ice cream shop in Observatory, Cape Town, South Africa.

    Tapiwa discusses his mission to transform the perception of African food and its cultural significance. He explains how colonialism has negatively impacted the way Africans relate to their traditional foods, replacing native ingredients with foreign ones that were introduced for colonial economic benefits. He emphasizes the importance of reclaiming and valuing indigenous foods to restore self-esteem and cultural identity among Afro-descendant people.

    Tapiwa also delves into the role of food in healing cultural trauma and resistance. He highlights how African food has been used historically to preserve cultural identity and resist colonial influences. He also stresses that cooking and participating in food production are fundamental human experiences that connect people to their environment and heritage. By understanding the origins and processes of food, individuals can develop a deeper appreciation for their cultural practices and contribute to their preservation.

    Lastly, Tapiwa shares his entrepreneurial journey and the challenges he faced in launching his business. He chose to open his ice cream shop in a location that balances safety and accessibility for black people, rejecting external funding to maintain control over his business's cultural message. Despite financial and logistical challenges, Tapiwa remains committed to his mission of promoting African food culture.

    He encourages listeners to support similar initiatives by advocating for the inclusion of African flavors in local businesses and spreading awareness about the importance of cultural representation in food.

  • In this week’s episode of the #MoneyMagic Podcast, Vangile talks about money karma, what it is and how to heal it.

    She delves into the concept of financial karma and alignment, sharing her struggles with debt and how her behavior and broken promises contributed to her financial woes. She emphasizes the necessity of aligning thoughts, words, and deeds to create positive financial outcomes. By borrowing money without repaying and breaking commitments, she attracted similar negative behaviors from others, which perpetuated her cycle of debt.

    The podcast highlights the significance of karma and reciprocity, with Vangile sharing stories of how her acts of generosity and gifting led to unexpected financial windfalls and opportunities. She recounts transformative experiences, how her commitment to gifting for 200 days significantly improved her financial situation by allowing her to pay off debt and save money.

    She then concludes by discussing the importance of forgiveness and self-forgiveness in clearing financial karma. By acknowledging past financial mistakes, making amends, and paying back debts, she improved her financial relationships and attracted clients willing to pay for her services.

  • In this week’s episode of the #MoneyMagic Podcast, Vangile talks about money routines and the spirit of money and how that helped her get out of debt.

    She delves into the history of money, explaining how it has evolved from the barter system to the use of shells, metals, coins, and eventually paper money backed by governments. 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. These include looking at one's bank account daily, creating a spending manifesto aligned with personal values, writing daily letters to money, and conducting regular money check-ins.

  • 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.

  • In this week’s episode of the MoneyMagic Podcast, Vangile talks Ndumi Hadebe, coach, speaker, and author of “Handle Black Tax Like a Pro.”

    Ndumi coaches people on setting boundaries and highlights the importance of understanding the opportunity cost of not having boundaries. She emphasizes the need for people to share love and compassion while setting boundaries, to avoid disempowering themselves and shrinking their world.

    Ndumi discusses how her journey of understanding boundaries led her to write her book. She shares that a pivotal moment during COVID-19 made her realize the widespread issue of black tax and its connection to unspoken family expectations and lack of boundaries.

    The conversation delves into the cultural and generational difficulties black people face in discussing money. 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 . She also how individuals can start breaking the cycle of black tax by first having an honest conversation with themselves about their financial situation. Ndumi outlines a formula for having these difficult conversations with family members: combining truth and love while removing the need to be right.

    She reflects on the impact of hospital births on maternal and infant trauma and advocates for home births as a less violent alternative. She discusses the politicization of childbirth, particularly in developing countries, and the importance of education and advocacy for women's rights in birthing choices.

    Mmatshilo also emphasizes the significance of respecting women's choices in pain management during childbirth and cultural rituals surrounding pregnancy and naming ceremonies.

    The conversation extends to the undervaluation of reproductive labor and the lack of understanding among men about the birthing process. She also shares personal experiences and discusses the importance of communal support during childbirth and the transformative power of birth stories. She also announces the launch of Africa Ikalafe Pluriversity, an academy for indigenous knowledge focused on African spirituality and childbirth philosophy.
