In this episode I had the honor of sitting down with the amazing and brilliant Vangile Makwakwa.
Vangile is the author of 3 books: Heart, Mind & Money: Using Emotional Intelligence for Financial Success and The Holistic Wealth Manifesto Workbook and The Next Level You Money and Womb Journal.
She’s a full time entrepreneur and the founder of wealthy-money.com a company that helps women of color heal ancestral money trauma so they can fall in love with their bank accounts, increase income and live their best lives.
Vangile is also the host of 2 podcasts: The Money Magic Podcast and The Property Magicians Podcast.
She has been traveling for 15 years and has lived in over 12 different countries and has been building her company as she travels.
In this episode Vangile and I go deep into the mother wound. I am relatively new to the mother wound concept, but once I began reading about it, I couldn’t stop. It’s such a powerful theory that addresses the pain and suffering that patriarchy has caused in most women when it pertains to motherhood.
Women have been conditioned to think of themselves as “less-than” and not deserving or worthy. This feeling of “less-than” has been internalized and passed down through countless generations of women. Women are often taught to prioritize relationships above all else.
We are taught that accessing our power will prevent us from forming meaningful connections with others, and this belief can manifest into a psychic limitation on who we want to be, disconnecting us from our true self. Becoming disconnected from the core of who we are can create distrust of our own needs, feelings, desires, gut instincts, and perception of reality. The distortion often manifests itself into behaviors such as codependency and people-pleasing.
Vangile and I go deep into all of this, and so much more! In our conversation we speak specifically on the experience of Black women, but these themes impact us all no matter what your gender expression.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did! So sit back, get cozy, and prepare yourself for an expansive conversation.
