Money Magic Podcast

In this episode of the Money Magic Podcast Vangile welcomes Mmatshilo Motsei, an expert in African birthing practices, author, PhD holder, and former activist, as her guest.

Mmatshilo shares her journey, from feeling burdened by her family's legacy of healers to embracing it as a privilege.

She shares how education often focuses on making a living rather than nurturing dreams and the pressure to conform to societal expectations, especially for women. She highlights the importance of resilience and the need to acknowledge contradictions in indigenous knowledge due to colonization.

She reflects on the impact of hospital births on maternal and infant trauma and advocates for home births as a less violent alternative. She discusses the politicization of childbirth, particularly in developing countries, and the importance of education and advocacy for women's rights in birthing choices.

Mmatshilo also emphasizes the significance of respecting women's choices in pain management during childbirth and cultural rituals surrounding pregnancy and naming ceremonies.

The conversation extends to the undervaluation of reproductive labor and the lack of understanding among men about the birthing process. She also shares personal experiences and discusses the importance of communal support during childbirth and the transformative power of birth stories. She also announces the launch of Africa Ikalafe Pluriversity, an academy for indigenous knowledge focused on African spirituality and childbirth philosophy.

This is another powerful podcast episode.

1. "When you are a healer that's not taking up your healing role, if you're a healer or a teacher and you are not stepping up to the universe to say, 'This is my role,' and I'm going to take it up, you actually are going to be abused."
2. "The universe tests you for a bit to say, 'Are you sure about this? Will you stand in your space and hold your own space to not be abused?'"
3. "So what kept me going with my teachers was the actual work, because the more you work, the more refined you get, the more purified you get, and the more you see progress."

In this podcast episode, Vangile discusses the concept of being the black sheep in the family and looks at scapegoating within families and its impact on individuals' financial behavior.

This can lead to feelings of not being good enough and constantly doubting oneself.

She delves into the complex dynamics of scapegoating within families, highlighting its origins in emotional dysregulation, power struggles, intergenerational trauma, and societal influences. She also explores the link between scapegoating and the "not good enough" wound, emphasizing the need for healing and self-improvement to break free from the cycle of scapegoating.

Vangile shares her personal journey of healing and offers suggestions for coping mechanisms, such as therapy and coaching, to navigate the triggers and challenges that may arise from family interactions.

• "Perfectionism is just the symptom of an underlying cause, which is the not good enough wound."
• "The majority of the family members do not know how to emotionally regulate; the only way for them to regulate their emotions and to cope with life is by projecting them onto the scapegoat."
• "Making someone else feel small and blaming them for everything may actually be a way that family members that feel out of control and feel powerless start to regain their power and start to regain a sense of control." 
• "When we don't have the tools, we just reach to the behavioral patterns that we know from our past" 
• “You have to be willing to take some kind of risk, especially if you're going to be an entrepreneur.”
• "It's about how can I hold the duality of both the love and the dislike or the indifference in my body as I become more visible and as I step into my power."
• "Set boundaries with your family. Remember, most people tend to treat us, even as adults, the way that they treated us as children."
• "Self-care is doing the uncomfortable inner work so that I don't continue the cycle of scapegoating."
