Episode 113: What Happens When You Feel Unsafe With Money
In this episode of the Money Magic Podcast, Vangile discusses the concept of feeling unsafe with money and not having money. She explains that people who feel unsafe with money tend to avoid dealing with it, often by procrastinating on tasks like sending invoices or paying bills.
This avoidance behavior stems from a deeper fear and results in financial instability. On the flip side, those who feel unsafe without money tend to hoard it and are afraid to spend, leading to missed opportunities for investment and growth.
Vangile emphasizes the importance of achieving a regulated nervous system around money, where one feels calm and neutral regardless of their financial situation.
This regulation allows for better financial decision-making and investment strategies. She also touches on the psychological aspects, such as vows of loyalty and rebellion, which can unconsciously influence financial behavior and create a yo-yo effect in managing money.
