In this week’s podcast of the Money Magic Podcast, Vangile shares the first of her seven-part What's Your Money Personality? Masterclasses.

In the class she explores how financial behaviors and patterns are passed down through generations. This class focused on how ancestral money trauma influences our nervous systems, emotional responses, and attitudes toward money.

She discusses how family dynamics, co-regulation, and inherited beliefs create unconscious patterns around spending, saving, and earning.

She also looked at the impact of dysregulated nervous systems on financial behaviors and how trauma from previous generations manifests in the way we approach money today.
