Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed El' Deity Princey. 

---

📝 Summary of the Interview

El' Deity Princey is a transformational master coach, author, and speaker with a background in social science, neuroscience, and trauma recovery. In this powerful and deeply personal interview, she shares her journey from childhood trauma and dysfunction to becoming a high-achieving coach helping others reprogram their minds, cut toxic ties, and build wealth-driven lives. Her book, Monetize a Mind That’s Colonized, and her coaching business, 11 Master Consulting, are tools she uses to empower others to transcend adversity and manifest success.

---

🔑 Key Takeaways 1. Mindset is the Foundation of Wealth

• “Energy is currency.” True prosperity begins with internal transformation.
• Reprogramming the subconscious mind is essential to breaking free from societal conditioning and limiting beliefs.

2. Cutting Toxic Ties

• Toxic relationships—whether personal, familial, or professional—drain energy and hinder growth.
• “When you cut toxic ties, you thrive.”
• Applies to both employees and employers: focus on those who contribute positively to your mission.

3. Coaching vs. Therapy

• Coaching focuses on present and future goals, while therapy often addresses past trauma.
• El' Deity emphasizes accountability, strategy, and results in her coaching practice.

4. Routine Builds Wealth

• Daily habits, environment, and self-care routines are critical to building internal and external wealth.
• “Everyone has a gift. Everyone has a talent.” Routine helps unlock and monetize those gifts.

5. Healing from Trauma

• She shares her personal experience with Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) and how childhood PTSD mirrors veteran PTSD.
• Her journey from dysfunction and cult-like environments to academic and personal success is a testament to resilience.

6. Manifestation Requires Action

• Her concept of “Coagulation Law” emphasizes that belief alone isn’t enough—resources and action are required to manifest goals.
• Life is like Monopoly: strategy and movement are key to winning.

7. Empowering Language

• Words shape reality. Avoid saying “I’m struggling”—instead, affirm your intelligence and capability.
• “Speak life into yourself.”

8. Client Success Stories

• She helped a client leave a toxic home, pursue her talents, and attract a supportive partner—demonstrating how mindset shifts lead to real-world success.

9. Accessibility & Services

• Offers free live coaching on TikTok three times a week.
• Book: Monetize a Mind That’s Colonized is available on Amazon under her real name, Princess Halo.
• Coaching and courses available through 11 Master Consulting.

---

💬 Notable Quotes
