My guest for the #MoneyMagic series interview this week is Teencoach Nomveliso Mbanga. Nomveliso is the founder of Mayine Development Institute, a company that takes an African centered approach to coaching, human development and personal growth.  

Nomveliso is a teen expert and focuses on Teen and Family dynamics coaching, she is also one of the oldest #MoneyMagic students and is one of the reasons this course continues to exist.

This episode is a must listen to. 

I can't even process and share what she shares because it’s soo deep; we talk about going 5 or 6 generations back in the healing work in order to understand our family lineage and how this can help us understand how money comes to us as a family.

And how understanding your womb journey (who you were in the womb and how did you behave at that stage?) can unlock a lot in this lifetime.

Both Nomveliso and I share how understanding our ancestral lineage helped us understand the kind of businesses we could thrive in. 

Nomveliso discusses family dynamics and trauma for the African child.

And of course, we discuss the #MoneyMagic course and how she has used the information in the course to build a profitable coaching business.

In this week’s episode, I talk to Yanga Stuurman, social entrepreneur, Mining and Geology consultant and coach.

Yanga helps professional women of color feel seen, achieve balance and rest so they can tap into their own magic and limitlessness.

Yanga contacted me earlier this year after hearing me talk about the panic attacks I used to have whenever I withdrew money from an ATM; she explained that her issue was invoicing people and spending money as soon as it came into her bank account. 

She soon became a private coaching client and as with all my coaching clients, I also enrolled her in the #MoneyMagic course.

In this interview she shares her story of childhood abuse (physical, mental and emotional) and how that led to her not feeling good enough and how that kept her from feeling and undercharging and just not being able to make money, despite her qualifications.

She shares how this wound affected her nervous system and how she had digestive issues most of her life until we started working together and started healing her trauma at a nervous system level.

We were actually laughing about how she managed to change her finances without ever looking at a spreadsheet and just doing the inner work and regulating her nervous system and going into the dark spaces.

It’s been almost 6 months since Yanga started coaching with me and doing the #MoneyMagic course and since then, she’s:

✔️Tripled her income

✔️Invested in a life-changing investment opportunity

✔️Able to keep money in her bank account

✔️Healed her digestive system

In this week’s #MoneyMagic series episode, I sit down to talk to Busisiwe Hlatswayo, Head of School for Business Innovation and Technology (BIT) at AFDA Johannesburg.

To be honest, I have no clue how to describe this interview because it took on a life of its own (as most of my interviews do) and goes so deep into various aspects of money - we discuss entrepreneurship, failing in our first businesses, the shame that comes with failure as an entrepreneur, loyalty to family, paying off debt, releasing the vow of perfection and having a business breakthrough.

Let me start by saying Busi is doing incredible work in the entrepreneurship space with undergraduates in AFDA and I was lucky enough to be invited to evaluate the students on their business plans a few weeks ago, so I’ve been able to see her work upfront and personal.

Busi joined the #MoneyMagic course in September 2018; she was R700,000 in debt and explained to us that one of her biggest issues was that even though she’d gotten promoted often, had a BCom Degree and an MBA she’d never been the head of a department and also struggled to build a consistent stream of income in her business.

One of her first breakthroughs, when she started the course, was getting her job at AFDA and being made Head of Department. Yay!!

In this interview, she shares a lot about how the vow of perfection and her vow of loyalty to her family kept her in debt. A part of her wanted to get out of debt, but the other part of her didn’t feel safe getting rid of debt and these 2 parts would go toward with each other, which would lead to self-sabotage.

Busi explains how healing her trauma completely transformed her relationship with money and how she has paid off R500,000 (US$31,000) in the last 2 years and will be debt-free by next year (2021) and how she’s also had a business breakthrough by just learning to let go.

In this week’s episode of the #MoneyMagic series I do a case study of one of the Money Magic’s students’ business (a side hustle in fitness training) and I look at how she can scale her business to R40,000/US$2500 a month by changing her pricing and her business model or using a mix of business models.

Creating a consistent income in our side hustle, business or income stream doesn’t have to take a long time and it doesn’t have to be difficult.

In this week's episode, I sat down with Nokuthula Mashaba to talk about her money journey and how she has made more money than ever during Covid. 

When this pandemic started Nokuthula was working in Nigeria, when things started getting bad globally she had to move back to South Africa. 

And just like everyone, she was worried about her finances - she was moving back to South Africa during a time of uncertainty and no guarantee of work or money in an industry that was being hard hit (TV industry). 

She shared a lot of these fears with us in the #MoneyMagic student group and since none of us had any certainty about anything, we just told her to do the inner work, use the student group as a resource and trust the process. 

There are some global and external events that none of us can change, but if we are lucky, we can choose how we respond to them, integrate them into our psyche and how we perceive them. This then changes the way we behave, especially with money.

Nokuthula's experience highlights this to an extent. 

In this episode, she shares her money journey with us, how she has been healing the God Wound and her vows of loyalty to her family and how she started paying off debt and increasing her income. 

This is another tear-jerker of an episode.

In this week's episode of the #MoneyMagic series, I sat down with Mmatsie Mooki, a human rights lawyer, and I  talk to her about her money journey.

I met Mmatsie at an event hosted by Lebo Pule in September 2017. Lebo had invited me as a speaker and we ended up going very deep on money trauma, in our conversation, and Mmatsie was one of the audience members. 

I remember her clearly sharing that she always had money and she didn't know what it was like to be at negative in her bank balance. 

But I do know that I triggered her because she realized that even though she was able to save, her income wasn't increasing rapidly after all these years of working.

A few days later, she signed up for the Fall In Love With Your Bank Account Challenge and started sending me messages about how this was some sort of witchcraft because money was just coming into her life 😂😂😂

In this interview, she shares with us why money is her lover, how money continues to show up for her even in the most stressful and painful moments and how she was able to create 3 extra streams of income in the last 3 years. 

There are parts of this episode that are soo incredibly vulnerable and teary, so be prepared to have your heart cracked open.

My work is focused on understanding and healing trauma. 

I know I call myself a money coach, but my focus is on understanding trauma and how it affects our money behaviour and our nervous system so we can start to integrate our lived experiences and build generational wealth. 

This is why Wealthy Money's tag line is "The magic in healing." 

It's in the healing that we start to create magic. The magic comes from us stepping into our own power and remembering who we truly are. 

This is why I believe it's important to understand trauma and how it changes our perception of self, which leads to financial contraction. 

So for this week's #MoneyMagic series, I invited one of my friends, Lori Jones, a licensed mental health clinician, based in Boston, MA to have a conversation with me about trauma and to share her understanding of trauma. 

This episode is meant to educate and shed light on why we behave the way we do and also give us a deeper insight into why we get stuck or freeze when we are triggered and why we keep recreating cycles of behaviour. 

Lori takes us on a journey to help us understand how our brains operate, how we respond to various situations and how trauma is passed down from generation to generation. 

We also look at how collective trauma and vicarious trauma lead to collective archetypes, which further impact our behaviour.

In this week's episode of the #MoneyMagic series, I invited one of my private clients, Hlathikazi Beni to come have a sit down with me and to discuss her money story. 

Hlathikazi is a serial entrepreneur and works in many businesses, including trucking and mining, so she's always had a way to make money but she believed her income was tied to the number of hours she worked and when Covid hit, she was worried that she'd have to work less and that would mean less money. 

This is how she came to be a coaching client. 

In the interview, she talks about how she had to have a mindset shift in how she saw money and how she started to realize that she doesn't have to always be working to make money and how constantly working was actually impacting her income growth. 

She also shares how she now works 4 hours a day, has bought herself a house and pays herself a 6 figure salary monthly all because of the inner work and embracing ease. 

We learn how working less has led to an increase in income in her business because she now has more time to focus and maximize on her current income streams. 

This episode highlights the myth of hard work and how ease is actually the cousin of expansion and how doing less work in our businesses actually leads to increased income in a faster time period. 

You don't want to miss this week's episode, especially if you're an entrepreneur. 

It's super juicy.

This week for the #MoneyMagic series, I decided to a live class on how I was brought up to inky trust family and how that fed into my need for invisibility and affected my income.

Growing up I was taught to never share anything that was in my zone of genius, with people outside the family because they would bewitch me and try to take my gifts and kill me.

I was taught to hide any cool idea I had or cool thing I could do out of fear and only trust family to help me implement it because at least they wouldn't harm me.

So you can imagine how unsafe it feels for my mom to watch me do this work and be so visible.

My money journey has really been triggering to her.

VOWS OF INVISIBILITY & VOWS OF LOYALTY - HOW THEY HOLD US BACK

I was also taught to stay safe by hiring family to work in my business or help me implement ideas, because...witchcraft.

I saw my mom and uncle come up with insanely awesome business ideas, and out of fear they would fight with family members and force them to get involved in their business ventures and they would hire family cos they didn't want others to know about the idea or how the business was run etc.

There would be so many fights because some people were not doing the work and were refusing to come on board or were doing half jobs and the businesses would fail.

My mom and uncle were the ones with the vision and they expected everyone else to have the same vision and if they didn't, they forced the vision onto them so everyone could grow together and also it felt safer to them than working with outsiders.

What that meant is that their brilliance and awesomeness were the best-kept secret and it was hard for them to grow beyond a certain point and sell their products and services.

Because to sell our products and services, people have you know we exist and we actually have said gift/product/service.

This is what I discuss in today's class. So grab a cup of tea and click play in the video below.

Last week we spoke to Mizo about the vow of invisibility and how it plays out in our finances. 

This week, we take this discussion even further with Wadzanai Garwe, another Money Magic student, who helps women share their stories so they can be more visible and get the promotion at work or sign the clients they want. 

The best way to introduce Wadzi and this episode is to share her recent post in the Money Magic student group, so you understand why I invited her as a guest:

"I remember doing two interviews for higher posts. My coach, male, kept saying - remember this is a competition Wadzi. You need to show how you lead, not how you are part of a team.

Ladies the vow of invisibility may be a cultural thing for us but we are also older sisters, mothers and role models. We need to speak up so that we have a place at the table. Men have been taught to lead. Women have unfortunately been taught to submit. My ex used to say very crudely - ‘my penis penetrates - you take it in’ this analogy has stayed with me. 

So could we celebrate the wins please. Could we step up and speak up.

Hi my name is Wadzanai Garwe. I am an economist who has worked in the United Nations system with major International Financing Institutions including the World Bank, thé African Development Bank and the Asian Development Bank for over 20 years. 

I have successfully run my own private consulting firm and I have done over 90 missions to over 50 countries helping developing nations improve their livelihoods and combat poverty. 

I have directly contributed to the economic development of the rural poor. I have successfully been the financial manager of a family-owned and managed 180-hectare concern in which we had a 1000 sow unit, we fattened cattle for auction and we cultivated 50 hectares of animal feed. 

I built a million-dollar home in Ruzawi, Marondera. I am an executive coach. I am a published author. I am a mother of two young adults. I am an activist for the economic empowerment of women. I am a force of nature. Can we do this in this post?"

So now you have an idea of what to expect on today's podcast, which I hope will lead us all to a deeper conversation on invisibility, not good enough and money.
