Episode 78: Living through my worst fear and healing my vow of invisibility and not good enoughness

6/23/2023
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 If this podcast resonated with you, check out these resources: Money Magic course: https://www.wealthy-money.com/moneymagic Bank Account Challenge: https://wealthy-money.com/bankaccount Book a discovery call: https://www.wealthy-money.com/discoverycall 7 Day Tapping into Ancestral Money Wisdom Training: https://wealthy-money.com/training Let’s connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vangilemakwakwa/
