Episode 129: Stepping into Financial Sovereignty
In this week’s episode of the Money Magic podcast episode, Vangile talks about explore the transformative journey of evolving from the Fixer Money Archetype to the Sovereign One.
She delves into the origins of the Fixer archetype and explains how unresolved trauma often manifests as a need to control our environment, particularly within family dynamics.
Vangile explains how the need to control is deeply rooted in trauma responses, including feelings of powerlessness, fear, and a desire to avoid vulnerability. She discusses how control may initially create a sense of safety but can have unintended consequences—from fostering dependency and resentment to reinforcing dysfunctional family patterns. These dynamics can block authentic connection, erode boundaries, and perpetuate cycles of over-responsibility and burnout.
This episode also examines how the Fixer archetype impacts family relationships, preventing others from developing self-reliance and stifling mutual growth.
She also explores the Sovereign archetype as the evolved state of the Fixer. The Sovereign One leads with confidence, trusts themselves and others, sets clear boundaries, and creates relationships built on trust and mutual respect.
