May 13 Episode 67: Why there is no formula to healing trauma

In last week’s podcast episode, I spoke about the fear of not having enough and running out of money. This week I share a podcast episode I did a while back when I was in Sri Lanka on why we do the inner work and why there’s no formula to healing.

Even though I don’t mention it in this podcast, I do believe resting and taking days off to focus on pleasure and taking time off for integration is part of doing the inner work.

In this podcast I talk about why healing has no formula and why what works for one person on their healing journey, may not work for the next person, even if they are from the same family and have similar experiences. I also explain why money isn’t just about good thoughts and having great energy but is also about the practical things and making sure that you’re taking aligned action and why you need to be actively involved in your own healing.

Join me, your host Vangile Makwakwa, as I unpack why everyone’s healing journey looks different and why this needs to be honored. This episode will shed light for you if you've been following all the people and doing all the things and not seeing a shift.
