"MONERGY = Money + Energy" - Danielle Alexandria

(This blog is 18th of a long series of profiles on friends and acquaintances I have met in my life journey. I invited them to share my spot because I believe in synergy, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. We are parts of the whole, and together we are indeed great!)

As a life coach gearing up for professional and purposive coaching, I had an unresolved, uncomfortable idea about charging money for my service. But because coaches need to be coached, too, I opened myself to coaching by Danielle last year. Afterwards, I wrote a testimonial of her. Here’s a portion of what I wrote:

“I resonated with her immediately; she’s deeply intuitive, very intelligent, and masterful yet relaxed. She was firm without being pushy, provocative in her inquiry, and highly organized in how she conducted our sessions. She “walked” me through a list of statements about money, wealth, freedom, security, and self-worth. She gave me a homework that allowed me to dive deeper into my mindset about money vis-à-vis self-worth, to as far back as I can remember. It was a homework that manifested as specific situations from October 2016 to January 2017 to drive in the lessons that my soul was supposed to learn regarding attachments and non-attachments. It was a homework that, because of my willingness to be “wrong,” led me to the past to undo several “wrongs.” Now I feel “right” about the present and the future. As Danielle offered more stimulating questions, I became even clearer in my realizations and more aligned in body, mind, and spirit.

My dynamics with money and energy exchange are now freer, more expansive, and more inclusive. I now feel empowered to give and receive in joyful balance in my life coaching business. The impact and relevance of Danielle’s financial coaching can best be summed up by my favorite takeaway:

MONERGY = Money + Energy

A powerful word from a powerful coach!”

Interests and Motivation
I am naturally driven to actualize human potential, and that means I love seeking truth. To me, truth is freedom. Truth is abundance. Truth is faith. Truth is power. Truth is bliss. Truth is wholeness. And yes, the truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off!

It starts with listening to your inner voice and intuition, and extends to questioning what we have been taught as a society. It means having the courage to face your shadow side and heal yourself, with beautiful compassion and loving sensitivity. Truth is knowing yourself, what your sacred purpose is, and honouring that above what others ask of you. It is especially doing so in the presence of your own big fear!

The rewards are so worth it. When we accept that the world is based on the balanced polarity of light and dark, we no longer fight against the natural order of things. That frees up a whole lot of energy for other things. We can live as grounded, healthy, integrated beings, and when we do that while also connected to the glory of the divine, bliss is the result. Ultimately, this sets us free to feel our own love and in turn, love others unconditionally.

What motivates me to pursue this path? My honest answer is childhood trauma, and I just feel and know it is my soul’s purpose. I also don’t want to run from myself anymore. So part of it is finally facing what I’ve been doing most of my life. At the same time, I recognize that if life was just dandy, I would not have developed this unstoppable drive to heal, understand, help others do the same, and become my full potential in this lifetime. I feel gratitude for my experiences, and where they have led me. I know I couldn’t get there without them.


Life Lessons
I lived most of my life in my rational head/ego – all left-brain. This allowed me to avoid facing my repressed emotional pain, and I convinced myself I was successful in life because I could “achieve” things. Boy did I have it down! Then after a devastating break-up in 2014, I decided I needed to address my inability to be with my difficult emotions. While I was able to process some of the pain, I wasn’t truly ready and entered a two-year new age junkie period where I really lived in the clouds. I thought I was spiritual! Ha! I became addicted to the dopamine high of continually seeking joy and only reaching for love and light, and as you might have guessed, I was the complete opposite of grounded!

After swinging back and forth so extremely, I’ve learned that one must be careful not to live in either plane exclusively – life is not all or nothing. Feeling great is wonderful. But painful challenges are what create and shape our character, integrity, wisdom, compassion, and depth. Trying to avoid them by seeking positivity 100% of the time is naïve and will not lead to true spiritual growth. Eventually, your pain will surface to be healed. I know this from experience. I now believe that to face and transcend our pain is the most spiritual thing of all, because we remove all that is in the way to love.

Having studied and followed many different teachers, I now honour the voice of my heart above anyone else. Not even my own ego runs the show anymore – it’s not the truth. The mind will always try to find something to fix, but the heart is the source of true wisdom and love for each of us.


Outer and Inner Changes
Many people are awakening from the old paradigms and conditioning on this planet. We are questioning what we have been taught, and are seeking more freedom and truth. We are outgrowing the black and white roles that have defined men and women for centuries. We are making more responsible choices, both individually and collectively. I love that this is the age of information because now millions of people have access to knowledge and resources that were once reserved for only the elite few. As a result, our development as a species has accelerated dramatically over the past few decades. We each have much more power and choice than previous generations. I see more and more people living life on their terms, and coming together in loving, supportive, inclusive ways. I think our future is bright.

We have all heard that the only constant in life is change. I have a daily heart practice where I connect with the wisdom of my heart – to heal, to surrender, and to feel love. This helps me to let go of old pain so I may be present in the now. I try to anticipate where we are going. While I do not watch the news or TV, I am plugged in with more conscious sources of information, and I travel globally which exposes me personally to what’s happening in the world. Aside from this, I believe it comes back to having a solid foundation within yourself – a healed root chakra if you will, so you know you can handle whatever comes. I’d be fooling myself if I said mine was perfect though. It’s a continual progression, and I trust that life only ever gives you what you are ready for. This has created real inner security and a commitment to loving myself no matter what happens.


Instant $500,000
I am a Financial Abundance Coach, so I have a specific plan with regards to growing my wealth. My answer is specific to my goals, risk tolerance, knowledge, and investing experience, so it may not be appropriate for everyone.

I would do the following:
-invest $50K buying cryptocurrencies (long term hold of actual currency – bitcoin and ethereum)
-trade $50K in a variety of cryptocurrencies (short term profiting of swings – there are over 800 digital currencies)
-trade $65K in non-dividend stocks (short term profiting of swings)
-save $50K in cash
-spend $10K
-set aside $200K to profit in a coming real estate crash (yep, it’s going to happen!)
-give $50K to family as gifts
-philanthropy – donate $15K to different causes near and dear to my heart
-microfinance – lend $10K in small loans to people who need them in 3rd world countries (for example through the KIVA organization)


Money and Freedom
Since I work with abundance, I would like people to know that money is not bad. Money is a neutral energy that comes from the spiritual Universe. It is a tool that facilitates the full knowing and expression of your true self, and that is the most important thing in life. If you have negative beliefs towards money, this reflects society’s conditioning and limitations, and it is time for these to be lifted. That’s why seeking the truth is so important. It’s safe and healthy to desire wealth. Money brings freedom and living life on your terms. Everyone deserves to live their dreams, whatever those are for you.

My goal is to help 100,000 people become financially empowered. I do this by helping my clients to release all that is in the way of their natural abundance, both psychologically and emotionally. While the right mindset is critical, it is not enough. You must also learn how money works. Having worked in the financial industry for 12 years, unfortunately there’s a lot of fear, intimidation, and misunderstanding at play. I am passionate about teaching unbiased, honest financial education, because this is what is needed to transform our lives economically. This knowledge, combined with learning the beliefs and habits of conscious self-made millionaires, will enable you to create wealth and freedom for the rest of your life.

I highly recommend Danielle to topnotch leaders and coaches who are in the process of finding congruence in their spiritual and material beliefs; to powerful and open thinkers who seek to fine-tune their relationship with wealth and abundance, and to influential people who are in the business of shaping hearts and minds towards a cooperative, global society.
