Growing up, Amber Finney dreamed of landing on the masthead of a glossy fashion magazine. In college, she interned at two and thought it would be easy to find a paying job in the industry. It wasn’t; she says she felt undervalued as a plus-size Black woman in fashion. She ended up working as a brand manager in the jewelry industry. The energy at the job was “toxic,” and though the money was decent, Finney knew there was something better in the cards for her.

And research firm IBISWorld estimates the market for psychics will total $2.2 billion by the end of 2021.
In search of a better way to support her health and manage stress, she started studying energy healing, meditation, Chinese medicine, and herbalism and took a part-time job working for Deborah Hanekamp, a healer in New York known aswho boasts an A-list following that includes Emma Roberts and Alicia Keys. Learning about energy work, Edwards finally felt like she was on the right path.
Malaurie Barber, 48, a psychic based in Orange County, California, has found fulfillment working as a psychic medium. Her first month in business , she earned more than $4,000 performing sessions over Zoom; her following on Instagram has since tripled. “I was often reading friends and channeling messages for them; seeing and hearing spirits has always been part of my daily life,” says Barber.
