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. She explains that scapegoating occurs when family members project their own shortcomings onto one person, blaming them for everything that goes wrong. 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. They emphasize the need for self-compassion, self-care, and personal growth to counteract the negative messages received from being scapegoated.
