  • Episode 129: Stepping into Financial Sovereignty
    Jan 29 2025

    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.

  • Episode 128: Stability and Presence: Moving from Financial Avoidance to Empowerment
    Jan 22 2025

    In this podcast episode, Vangile talks about the "RunAway archetype" and its transformation into the "Grounded Seeker."

    Vangile explains the behavioral patterns, core wounds, and healing journey of the RunAway, which involves avoiding uncomfortable financial situations and feelings due to learned trauma responses.

    The RunAway archetype often manifests through avoidance, escapism, and impulsive spending, leading to cycles of debt and financial instability.

    The RunAway’s transformation involves acknowledging the need for change, practicing self-awareness, and learning to feel safe in the body.

    The Grounded Seeker archetype embodies stability, presence, and financial awareness, enabling individuals to build generational wealth and improve family dynamics.

    Vangile emphasizes how the RunAway thrives by developing routines, coming into their bodies and regulating their nervous system.

    This is another insightful episode.

  • Episode 127: Why the ‘Difficult One’ in the Family Holds the Key to Transformation
    Jan 15 2025

    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.
