She Who Could Not Be Bought: A Nervous System Rebellion Against The Systems That Try To Own Us

From the chaotic trading floors of Wall Street to silent monasteries in Thailand, from the trauma-laced streets of Soweto to onsen baths in Japan, She Who Could Not Be Bought is a powerful testimony to one woman’s global pilgrimage toward inner freedom.

Raised in a family marked by narcissistic dynamics, unspoken violence, and ancestral silence, Thembi Buthelezi made a vow early in life: she would survive. What she didn’t know was how survival would become performance—and how performance would nearly cost her everything.

Through spiritual betrayal, financial collapse, love lost and reclaimed, Thembi chronicles a personal and political awakening. One that asks:

What does it mean to heal your nervous system in a world built to keep you dysregulated?

How do you mother yourself when your lineage could not?

And is it possible to reclaim desire, wealth, and voice—without reproducing the very systems that taught you to disappear?

Blending Buddhist psychology, trauma recovery, memoir, and sharp cultural critique, this book is a sacred confrontation with everything we were taught to sacrifice: our voice, our joy, our enoughness.

Whether you’ve walked through cults, capitalism, or generational debt, this story is for those who feel the ache beneath the shopping cart, the silence beneath the smile, and the hunger for something real.

You will find in these pages:

Deep insights into nervous system regulation and Buddhist trauma healing

A raw portrayal of narcissistic family systems and their unspoken cost

A reclamation of money as medicine, not manipulation
