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

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.”
