In this podcast episode, Vangile talks about the "RunAway archetype" and its transformation into the "Grounded Seeker."

Vangile explains the behavioral patterns, core wounds, and healing journey of the RunAway, which involves avoiding uncomfortable financial situations and feelings due to learned trauma responses.

The RunAway archetype often manifests through avoidance, escapism, and impulsive spending, leading to cycles of debt and financial instability.

The RunAway’s transformation involves acknowledging the need for change, practicing self-awareness, and learning to feel safe in the body.

The Grounded Seeker archetype embodies stability, presence, and financial awareness, enabling individuals to build generational wealth and improve family dynamics.

Vangile emphasizes how the RunAway thrives by developing routines, coming into their bodies and regulating their nervous system.
