For those of us in the business of beauty, of bringing art and spiritual healing to the world, it can be a challenge to be justly compensated for our work.

Frida also serves as a spiritual healer, using craniosacral therapy and sound healing to help people become the best version of themselves.

Are you hiding from your calling? Yvette Taylor spent years on the periphery of her purpose, building a wellness center and doing online marketing for spiritual entrepreneurs. But when she gave birth to her son, she had a conversation with the universe and said, 'I am no longer prepared to do anything in my life that isn't what I'm here for. And if my time is away from this little guy, it has to be the thing I'm here for because I'm not available for anything else.'

Yvette is the creator of the Energy Alignment Method or EAM, an internationally-recognized complementary therapy designed to help people shift their energy and transform their life experience.
