From Trauma to Triumph: How to Rewrite Your Money Story & Find True Wealth

Loading player...
What if your biggest financial struggles stem from childhood wounds you didn’t even know existed?

This week on The Wealth Zen, join Samm Marshall, Charmaine Soobramoney, and financial healing expert Jean Archery for a raw, transformative conversation about:
💡 Breaking Generational Money Trauma – How Jean went from an 8-year-old losing everything to a financial coach healing money mindsets.
💸 "Side Hustles Aren’t Enough" – Why multiple income streams + emotional work are non-negotiables in today’s economy.
🚺 Women & Wealth – The hidden costs of financial dependence (and how to claim your power post-divorce, layoffs, or life shocks).

🧠 The THINK-FEEL-BEHAVE Model – Jean’s proven framework to:
✅ Identify your money triggers (scarcity? guilt? shame?)
✅ Rewire limiting beliefs ("Rich people are greedy")
✅ Take aligned action (even with R20 in your account).

💔 "Let Them" Philosophy – How releasing blame (exes, parents, the system) frees you to build real wealth.

📚 BONUS: Jean’s children’s book "Mrs. Spiggles" – Teaching kids money literacy before trauma sets in.

🔊 "True wealth isn’t a number—it’s the peace of knowing you can rebuild anything."

🎧 Listen now for vulnerable stories, practical steps, and the mindset shifts that turn survival into thrival.
