    Episode 123: Recognizing Financial Abuse: Breaking Free from Patterns of Control

    In this week’s episode of the Money Magic Podcast, Vangile sits down with Brooke Kekos, an expert in helping women heal from abusive relationships, including financial abuse.    Brooke shares her personal journey of enduring abuse from childhood that continued into her adult life, discussing the patterns of control and manipulation she experienced, particularly in financial matters.

    In this week’s episode of the #MoneyMagic Podcast, Vangile sits down with Valerie Rubin, a trauma-informed coach, as a guest to discuss trauma and its impact on relationships and attachment styles.   Valerie introduces herself as a passionate individual dedicated to helping people feel safe in their bodies and heal anxious attachment styles for healthier relationships. She explains that anxious attachment often results from inconsistent emotional support from caregivers during childhood, leading individuals to become hyper-vigilant and people-pleasing in relationships.    Valerie emphasizes the importance of self-soothing and self-care to manage relationship anxiety and build more secure connections.   The conversation delves into the characteristics of anxious attachment, such as chronic anxiety, codependency, and fear of abandonment. Valerie notes that people with anxious attachment lean on external validation and struggle with trust issues. She also explains that these behaviors are symptoms of deeper wounds rather than fixed identities, suggesting that healing is possible through recognizing and integrating these parts.   Valerie elaborates on how these dynamics can lead to patterns like people-pleasing, which can attract emotionally unavailable partners. The discussion highlights the importance of acknowledging one's needs and setting boundaries to foster healthy relationships while addressing the fear of abandonment that often accompanies anxious attachment.
