In this week’s episode of the #MoneyMagic Podcast, Vangile talks about money routines and the spirit of money and how that helped her get out of debt.

She delves into the history of money, explaining how it has evolved from the barter system to the use of shells, metals, coins, and eventually paper money backed by governments. She highlights the changes in human consciousness and economic systems over time, leading to the current fiat money system and the emerging cryptocurrency. She also introduces the concept of the spirit of money and money archetypes, which have evolved alongside these monetary systems, reflecting different roles and relationships with money throughout history.

The concept of the spirit of money is central to Vangile’s work, where she encourages clients to meditate and connect with their unique spirit of money. This connection helps uncover deep-seated beliefs and traumas related to money, often passed down through generations. She shares her personal experience with the spirit of money, which initially appeared to her as a clown, symbolizing her fear and negative perception of money.

In addition to the spiritual aspects, Vangile emphasizes practical daily money routines to improve financial health. These include looking at one's bank account daily, creating a spending manifesto aligned with personal values, writing daily letters to money, and conducting regular money check-ins.

This is another insightful episode.

In this week’s episode of the  MoneyMagic Podcast, Vangile talks about the vow of service, which is a commitment many of us make, sometimes consciously, often unconsciously, to dedicate our lives to serving others. This vow can span across lifetimes and may even have roots in our ancestral lineage. Those who take this vow often find deep fulfillment in helping others, yet it can also lead to challenges like financial strain and burnout.

In the podcast Vangile shares examples from her own family, like nurses and teachers who work tirelessly without charging appropriately for their services, highlighting the connection between this vow of service and the struggle to set boundaries and charge fairly for one's work.

She recounts her personal experience with the vow of service, which she discovered through past life regression therapy. She shares how a past life as a nun in the Catholic Church, where she took a vow of service without compensation, impacted her current life. And how this vow eventually led to years of writer’s blog and stage fright.

The discussion also touches on the vow of invisibility, which often intertwines with the vow of service, where she explains how this vow manifests as a reluctance to be seen or acknowledged for one's contributions, leading to feelings of being unappreciated and unseen.

Vangile also shares how she and her clients work to heal the vow of service and vow invisibility.

In this week’s episode of the  MoneyMagic Podcast, Vangile talks Ndumi Hadebe, coach, speaker, and author of “Handle Black Tax Like a Pro.”

Ndumi coaches people on setting boundaries and highlights the importance of understanding the opportunity cost of not having boundaries. She emphasizes the need for people to share love and compassion while setting boundaries, to avoid disempowering themselves and shrinking their world.

Ndumi discusses how her journey of understanding boundaries led her to write her book. She shares that a pivotal moment during COVID-19 made her realize the widespread issue of black tax and its connection to unspoken family expectations and lack of boundaries. 

The conversation delves into the cultural and generational difficulties black people face in discussing money. Ndumi explains that previous generations had little money to discuss, leading to a lack of financial transparency in families. This culture has persisted, making it difficult for current generations to talk about money openly. She also highlights how not being taught boundaries as children impacts one's ability to set boundaries as adults, affecting various aspects of life, including finances.

She provides practical advice on how parents can better honor their children's boundaries and teach them about setting financial boundaries, emphasizing the importance of listening and validating their feelings . She also how individuals can start breaking the cycle of black tax by first having an honest conversation with themselves about their financial situation. Ndumi outlines a formula for having these difficult conversations with family members: combining truth and love while removing the need to be right.
