About Marie-Elizabeth Mali

I’m the right mentor for women of means who want a guide who gets what it is to live with wealth (the good, bad, and ugly), who moves smoothly between the country club and the artsy café, and who knows how to help you expand into your most creative and authentic life chapter yet, where your relationship to money, love, and legacy feel free and fulfilling.

Hi, I’m Marie-Elizabeth…

Some unusual things about me:

  • Multicultural by birth, I spoke three languages by the age of three.
  • I went to an all-girls prep school on the upper east side of NYC for 13 years. 
  • I was invited to deb at the International Debutante Ball (my mother was Swedish nobility), but I turned it down to attend jazz dance class instead.
  • I got into Brown and Stanford, but turned them down for Oberlin because it felt right.
  • I opened my own therapeutic massage practice at 24 years old and Tony Robbins became one of my first clients.
  • I inherited family money at 33 years old, which set me apart from my starving artist and spiritual-healer friends.
  • I have a Master’s in Traditional Oriental Medicine and an MFA in poetry, but my most valuable education came from getting divorced, living in a sex-positive community, and walking both my parents through their deaths.
  • Sharks are my favorite subjects to photograph, followed by humpback whales.
  • I love being a quiet, impactful philanthropist.

Why am I dedicated to mentoring wealthy women?

Simply, because no one else really can.

I inherited 25 years ago.  But, like you, I didn’t want to stop living a life of service and purpose. I wanted to use my gifts for good and create a unique legacy.

So I kept learning, growing, and developing my Freedom Cycle map to support other women like me.

Over the years, I’ve spent close to $1M on coaches and training. 

Business Coaches. Masterminds.  Multiple Healing Modalies Training.  Relationship Coach Training.  Meditation. Subconscious Re-patterning Training. Sexuality.

You name it, I’ve hired a coach for or have studied it.

And in all these groups, I either had to hide my wealth or risk being singled out as the rich girl in the room. 

If people knew, they looked at me differently. They’d pitch me in the restroom, over lunch, or at the mixer.

And if I talked about challenges around managing my three properties, for example, I could sense their eye-rolling, even if they managed to control their facial muscles.

And then there were the wealthy entrepreneur groups I also joined, where people were so new to money that they flaunted it, flashing luxury brands like they equaled status.

I didn’t find my people in either place.

Maybe it was menopause that helped me stop caring so much when people projected their judgments and needs on me for being well-resourced financially. 

For whatever reason, I finally hit the point where I was like, FUCK IT, I’m done hiding, I’m going to tell my stories and see who can relate.

That’s when I started my Substack publication, Sex, Death and Cash, and guess what?

I found out I’m not alone, and that there are women (maybe you?) who could use a life-optimizing mentor who’s able to meet all of you without flinching.

So if you…

  • Want to be engaged with life in a way that lights you up
  • Want to feel received and understood, not judged or pitched
  • Are done with being seen as the little rich girl, whose sole perceived purpose is to fund your family and friends’ projects…

I’ve created a mentorship program just for you…

What does my mentorship give you?

  • A safe space to unfurl, without guilt for what you have, or the need to choose your words carefully.
  • The relief of being fully met and guidedbeyond the image you’ve had to curate—all the way inside to your truth.
  • Honest wise counsel on all the inner and outer stuff in your life.
  • Uncanny intuitive revealing, healing, and guidance
  • Laughter as you see your patterns in a refreshing way.
  • Supportive ways to address the Taboo Trilogy—sex, death, and cash—so you can become fearless and self-expressed.
  • Someone who has your back, through and with ALL of it.

Marie-Elizabeth is a highly intuitive coach.

“She was able to indentify and give voice to a very old pattern of mine that had been wrecking my personal intimate relationship with my partner. The congruence this created has allowed me to be a more fully expressed woman, showing up more powerfully in business, in my relationship, and as a mother. I highly, highly recommend her.”

I felt so cared for at Marie-Elizabeth’s retreat in Mexico!

“I came wanting to work through what the next level of relationships and business are for me. She’s trained in so many different ways to help you uncover what the core of what’s happening is and how to gently work through that and set goals and small actions that you can take to truly make not just what you think you need to work on better, but so many other things better, too.”

Marie-Elizabeth’s compassion is beautiful and inspiring.

“I wanted to create a better relationship with time management, so I’d have more quality time to spend with my partner. My biggest win was increasing my awareness of seeking my own pleasure, which which allowed my heart to open to being more loving in general. She’s very knowledgeable and supportive and has clear actions to take that make significant changes.”
