Prudence McDaniel

Hi, I'm Prudence McDaniel, the founder of PM Creative Life Coaching and Consulting, and empowerment and financial coach. where lived expertise meets intentional transformation.

In the last 40+ years as a professional cellist, educator, and mentor I have worked with and served over 900 private, 1:1students ranging in age from 4-86, and as a college instructor in the classroom for 20 years, I've had the privilege of that number expanding to well over 1,500. This has allowed me to see and experience every stage of life, personal growth, development, and a myriad number of ways personalities, thoughts, and emotions process information and affect outcomes.

Through my own journey of encountering career biases and starving artistry in my 20's and 30's, adult orphanhood in my 40's, and health issues which included hearing loss, cancer, covid, and stroke, in my 50's, I can't even begin to claim I've seen it all - but I have experienced enough to know that there are many of you I can help when you are feeling stuck, not knowing and/or not trusting yourself to take the next step in your journey.

Through PM Creative Life Coaching and Consulting, I guide individuals and families through life’s pivotal thresholds, offering support in emotional resilience, financial literacy, and identity and career shift realignment for women 40+, and college or trade school preparation for families.

My approach brings clarity to complexity, helping clients strengthen confidence, move through change with greater ease, and create sustainable alignment in both life and decision-making.

This is coaching rooted in depth and direction, where each session is purposeful, each insight practical, and the personal transformation is embodied, and lasting.

I look forward to meeting you, and if we decide to work together, I am honored to help.
