In this podcast, Vangile shares her journey of writing about healing ancestral money trauma, discussing the impact of trauma on financial behavior and the concept of money archetypes.
There's nothing wrong with modeling or acting, in fact modeling paid some of my bills over the years but I was at a business school and I needed my lecturer to encourage me to pursue entrepreneurship not try to get me to change track.
A few years ago, I had a call with Dr Venus and I learned that she charged US$20 000 to coach people (I think her fees may have gone up now).
Up until then, I’d never met a coach, let alone a Black coach that charged that much and I couldn't understand who would pay that much for coaching or masterminds.
I am reminded of a time in 2020, when I was living in Sri Lanka at the height of Covid and I took a week long getaway to the mountains.
I grew up in a family where I saw my mom be told that she thought she was better than everyone for having money.
I saw my mom literally meltdown, sabotage and give all her money to my uncle because she wanted him to like her and for him to take care of us.
Instead I kept recreating debt and using all my earnings to donate to charities or buy things I didn't need. And freaking out that my family would find out that I was making money and would ask me for money, when I really didn't have money.
