About Marie-Elizabeth Mali
Welcome, I'm so glad you're here.
The Taboo Trilogy is about our liberation in relationship to sex, death, and money—three big-ass topics we’re taught not to talk about.
We get free when we have the courage to face these topics, instead of avoiding them.
The reason I write primarily about this ‘Taboo Trilogy’ is because I’ve had a lot of all three in my life and have directly experienced how each one can either bind or free us. Whether you get bound or free is your choice, and I want to inspire you to choose more wisely in your own life through these stories.
The Taboo Trilogy features deeply personal stories and tips from my well-lived life and the over 35 years I’ve spent working in the wellness and personal growth space, helping to liberate women into their realest, most powerful selves.
A few unusual things about me…
- Spoke three languages by the age of three.
- Went to a high-powered all-girls’ prep school in New York City for 13 years.
- Turned down the International Debutante Ball. Also turned down Brown and Stanford, so I could attend Oberlin, which better fit my quirky heart.
In other words, I’ve been doing my own dang thing for a long-ass time, all with the multicultural, rebellious soul of a poet.
I have a Master’s in Traditional Oriental Medicine and an MFA in poetry. I’ve been with each of my parents as they lay dying, 20 years apart. I’ve been married twice. For two years, I was a member of what some call a sex cult, but I consider a community of folks who practiced relating like it was an extreme sport. It’s also where I met my now-husband, Patrick, and WOW it’s good to be partnered with someone with that depth of training and skill.
I’ve worked for the past 35 years as a healer, a relationship coach, and most recently as a Mentor and Liberation Doula for women seeking to craft self-expressed lives beyond the status and roles others expect them to uphold.
I’m also a published poet, philanthropist, and underwater photographer who has a thing for sharks.
