Krisha Young is a food and lifestyle ninja who has been in business for herself over the past three years. When Krisha first started her online business, she was working a full-time job and raising two small children. Wow! To say that this lady has drive is an understatement. There are so many points here that I want to mention, but one of the things we touched on was shifting from a mindset of scarcity to one of abundance. This can be hard when you're bootstrapping your business and trying your best to stay afloat, but once you're able to take care of your core necessities, you can actually expand your growth and reach even more people.

Maven Moment:
Not many of my guests have talked about the selling aspect of the business. I know I have mentioned before that selling can sometimes seem 'dirty' because we, as healers, want to help others and not crave a big financial hole out of our clients' pockets; but Krisha knows her stuff and knows how to sell in the most authentic way possible. When you're able to take care of yourself on a spiritual, mental, and physical level, this allows you to help even more people!
