In this week's #MoneyMagic episode, I share my personal experience of overcoming public shaming, reclaiming my power, and healing my not-good-enough wound.
Back in 2022, I found myself in the midst of public shaming. It was a tough time as embassies worldwide were contacted with false allegations of me being a tourism fraud, and financial services boards were sent letters tarnishing my reputation as a scam. The impact on my mental health and business was far more significant than I anticipated.
The aftermath led to months of legal battles, protection orders, and I am still waiting for the court's decision. As if that wasn't enough, I also had to navigate (still am navigating) the complexities of dealing with developers who reneged on their financing contracts in the Property Magicians Stokvel. It has been a challenging time that brought forth self-doubt, feelings of inadequacy, shame and a desire to hide and be invisible.
In the process I found immense support and love from family, friends, and even strangers, which shattered my beliefs about being alone and unloved and led me to truly understanding what it means to trust the process.
In this podcast episode, I delve into the journey of finding solace, seeking support during times of crisis, and prioritizing self-care. I share the practices that helped me regain my balance, including yoga, breathwork, EFT tapping and the #MoneyMagic meditations.
I also share valuable insights on expansion, visibility, and revisiting the basics of the Bank Account Challenge. Despite the chaos, I managed to continue growing Wealthy Money, secure a publishing deal for my upcoming book (launching in October 2023), acquire two pieces of land, get gifted a Birkin bag, launch an Airbnb business, and initiate the rezoning of one of my properties in Cape Town to develop eight units.
Join me in this episode of the #MoneyMagic podcast as I talk about transforming poison into medicine.
Tune in!
During this episode, you will learn about:
00:00: Introduction
05:37: The public shaming incident and the effects on my life
11:37: Feeling unsafe and the belief that others have power over you
21:52: The experience of shame and the importance of working with triggers
27:31: The not good enough wound and the impact on my business
34:39: The need to regulate the nervous system during challenging times
37:54: Overcoming the vow of invisibility and showing up in my business
44:52: The breakthroughs I experienced during this period
47:14: The upcoming release of my book and the support I received
54:40: My experience with the bank account challenge and its impact on my finances
01:03:38: The material breakthroughs I experienced, such as receiving gifts and purchasing land
01:11:34: Trusting the process
01:16:13: Coaching offer for anyone that feels like doing one on one coaching
Notable Quotes
- I've come to the conclusion that no human being actually has a substantial amount of power over another human being
- there is a part of us no matter what happens that we can just go in there and find something that can be taken away by another person
- I literally looked at a part of myself like I said and was just like there's no way I could live through this and then making the decision that I'm going to live through this anyway
- We will never ever be able to control another person that is a fact, but what we can do is look after ourselves when things are going bad
- Expansion is being able to hold both the good and the bad, the upside and downside of expansion
- One of the biggest breakthroughs was I learned that it doesn't matter what is happening the work works
- The big breakthrough is that all my fears were unfounded I've lived my whole life being so scared of being visible being so scared of being publicly criticized because I thought at the end of the day I would lose love and I would be actually alone and I would have absolutely no one by my side and the major breakthrough for me has been I've lived through my worst fears and I was never alone physically and even emotionally I was fully supported

Often, as women, our roles start to shift as we expand, and we find ourselves mothering our mothers in very subtle ways. In our expansion, we tend to take on the role of a mother to our mothers. Sometimes, it’s not that we want it to happen, but we automatically find ourselves doing it, especially when we have the finances and the means.
Mothering our mothers, siblings, and children leaves our inner child unnurtured, which can build up resentments. Your inner child becomes angry, and to get your attention, your inner child stops your expansion. You self-sabotage not because you don’t want to grow but because when you’re not expanding, you can genuinely say not to mothering your mother (and any added pressure) to create more time for mothering yourself and your children.
So how do we stop ourselves from self sabotage as we expand?
Join the conversation with me, your host, Vangile Makwakwa, as I share more about mothering our mothers, how it ties into vows of loyalty and how it leads to self-sabotage. Let’s talk about how to deal with the pressures and expectations that come with expansion so we can thrive.
Tune in!
During this episode, you will learn about:
[00:01] Introduction to the show
[04:00] Today’s topic; The link between self-sabotage and mother wounds
[05:30] Vangile’s mom's behavior and how it triggers her
[08:01] Shifts in relationships and roles that come with expansion
[10:21] Mothering our mothers and how it happens subtly
[11:04] Generational triggers of mothering our mothers and how it ties to black tax
[12:31] Resentment that arises from mothering our mothers
[16:01] How and why we often self-sabotage as we expand and grow
[18:05] Breaking the vow of royalty and the guilt around mother wounds
[19:56] How to deal with the desire to mother your mother and expansion self-sabotage
[20:54] The Vow of rebellion and loyalty and how they play out in mother wounds
[24:07] Ending the show and call to actions
Notable Quotes
- More often, as black women, our relationships and roles start to shift as we expand, and we often find ourselves mothering our mothers.
- Most of us are walking around with an unmothered inner child.
- Your inner child self-sabotages in order to get your attention.
- As you expand, the mother wound can get bigger and become more triggering.
- You need to break your vows of loyalty to your mother, so you can stop emulating her behavior.

In this week’s podcast episode I talk about my experience in working with my inner masculine and my inner feminine and how I had to move from one or the other, to find balance between the two, especially in my approach to money and business.
We have been taught that the only way to survive is by becoming super productive and hyper-productive even when our spirit is tired and going through emotional trauma. We’ve been asked to give up so much of our mental and emotional health to systems that don’t give the same back to us. The old way of doing business and making money 24-7 is not working and has not been working for many of us, and this is coming to the surface.
In today’s podcast I share how I tried to balance that by going to the extreme and working only in my feminine and how that started to affect my body. I share how feminine and masculine energy has nothing to do with gender and why it’s important to embody both energies in business.
Join the conversation with me, your host, Vangile Makwakwa as I share what I have learned about working with my inner masculine and inner feminine to optimize mental health, emotional well-being, spiritual growth, and physical health.
Tune in!
During this episode, you will learn about:
[00:00] Introduction to the show
[02:12] A bank account challenge experience that affected Vangile’s body
[05:33] The AHA moment! Working with the inner masculine and feminine
[06:50] Inner work and how it shows up ultimately in your body
[08:05] Vangile's inner masculine requests and transformation
[09:32] What inspired today’s show: Vangile past lifetime memory
[16:04] Vows in different lifetimes and how they can hold you back
[17:34] Today’s perspective of productivity and why it’s a collective trauma
[18:54] Focusing on the soft skills/feminine side to healing yourself and your finances
[22:04] Working with the inner masculine
[25:49] The role of the feminine in the modern system
[28:30] The feminine way of doing business and making money
[29:39] Building the masculine structure in your business and merging it with the feminine side
[33:26] Ending the show and call to actions
Notable Quotes
- Holding space for many people without energy coming back to you is not healthy, and it will exhaust you.
- The modern system has been asking us to give up so much of our mental and emotional health to systems that don’t give the same back to us.
- Trauma keeps us in a loop, but the healing of trauma is not prioritized and is considered a soft skill and unnecessary.
- If we don't heal the trauma and don't heal ourselves, we just keep operating the very same way that our parents operated around money, so we keep getting the same results

This week on the #MoneyMagic Podcast, I talked to Shanika Malcolm, the founder of Starseed Landing, an organization that focuses on regenerative living, consciousness, and transformation on the planet to help people live in harmony with nature. Shanika is passionate about helping people live an empowered, authentic, and real life.
If you didn’t know, Shanika is the first African American woman to complete the Naked and Afraid 21-day challenge in Chiapas, Mexico in the Jungle. She loves connecting with nature, and as with so many things that Shanika is into, there’s not enough representation of people of color, but this has not prevented her from achieving. Her mission is to create a path for people of color, especially women, to feel confident and comfortable in their quest.
In this episode, Shanika shares how she has always had home births with just her boyfriend and/or a midwife, without attending a single appointment with doctors or going for check ins and just working with her body and how her kids very rarely fall ill. She also shares what it’s like to travel the world with 3 kids, who are getting homeschooled.
She also discusses with us how as women, we’re constantly forced to make ourselves smaller and how a lot of the beliefs that we have about ourselves are not our own. Most of our beliefs come from a traumatic, wounded, and unnatural society, which makes self-awareness and healing very important. Healing yourself is healing the ancestors and the next generation. Healing yourself is also healing the planet. You heal backward in time and forward in time, and it starts with your womb. That is your power center, which holds many emotions and energy.
Becoming self-aware of what you think about yourself, connecting with the body, and working with the womb will help you align your beliefs with what you want to feel, heal, feel comfortable in your body, and build confidence.
Tune in!
During this episode, you will learn about:

[09:43] Shanika’s experience as the only person of color in spaces and her secret to success

[45:07] Feeling unsafe and how it can lead to trauma and affect the outcome of your life

[55:02] Tuning in to ourselves and our innate knowing
[56:21] How Shanika arrived at her birthing process, birthing at home
[00:00:01] Making birth seamless by working with your body
[01:04:36] How to get into your feminine through deep breathing and relaxation
[01:11:43] Shanika's intention and mission of sharing love and life
[01:12:58] How to reach out, connect and work with Shanika
[01:13:26] Ending the show and call to action
Notable Quotes
- Being the only person of color in spaces takes a lot of self-awareness and confidence to go into and take up space.
- When you know the power of who you are, you can show up as that, and people will feel it.
- Building confidence within yourself comes down to self-love and acceptance.
- A lot of beliefs that we have about ourselves are not our own; they come from a traumatic, wounded, and unnatural society.

Most of us have a money set point - a set number we believe we can make or have in our bank accounts. If you want to see your money set point, look at your bank statement. This is the amount of money you will often have in your bank account.
When you surpass this set point, you can find yourself overspending to get back to it. If you find yourself making more money, you can find yourself sabotaging and losing clients or losing your job so you can get back to your set point.
Join the conversation with me, your host Vangile Makwakwa, as I share the relationship between the God Wound, vows of loyalty, and our money set point. Your family's history with money will most likely affect your financial set points. In this episode, I will also explain why releasing a vow of loyalty is sometimes difficult because it ties to the God wound.

Our journeys in life are like concentric rings on a tree. Any decision you have made before will most times be the basis of what you do today. You will always feel a sense of alignment and confidence when you follow your passions to achieve your dreams. The alignment will be manifested in your ability to manage and thrive in uncertainties. Though it’s hard to live with the certainties of living without a salaried job, that sense of being safe to you because of living in your truth is incomparable.
This week on the #MoneyMagic Podcast, I talk to one of my coaching clients, Catriona Towriss, an artist who is passionate about supporting people to reconnect with their creativity. As a child, Catriona dreamt about becoming an artist. However, she nearly lost sight of that dream in the twists and turns of life. She got a Ph.D. and spent over a decade working as a researcher and lecturer in public health. In her spare time, she drew, painted, and took photographs.
In 2019, she hired me as a coach and at the height of the pandemic she made the big leap into life as a full-time artist. In this podcast, she shares how she did that and some of the fears she had to work through about money and supporting herself as an artist.
Through her art, she seeks to uncover nature’s timeless visual language and explore the dynamics between human and non-human nature.
Join the conversation and learn more about how honoring your inner voice can build your self-trust. Your relationships, possibilities and money. You will also understand the power of creativity and how creative expressions in the artistic sense will struggle to thrive under financial pressures.
