ABOUT

Hi, I’m Lindsay.

ABOUT THE BLOG

Well Aware was created in 2014 as a way to document my education and trials and errors and eventual transition into a more “mindful life.” At the time, I was working in advertising and experiencing what many of us feel around our first Saturn Returns—a restlessness, anxiousness, and unease that comes from the dissonance of not knowing myself, coupled with not knowing how to meet myself. I’d lost my practice and it wasn’t the first time, nor would it be the last.

If you’d asked me four years ago why I started Well Aware, I would have said it was because there were few of us creators else exploring the connection between wellness and conscious consumption. This is as true as the sky is blue, but I was also beginning to understand how people with a regular practice met themselves again and again and again.

Through deep and meaningful conversations on the podcast that have lead to countless exchanges online and in real life, Well Aware has become a strong community: my hope is that we’ll continue to swap stories and share experiences about our journeys, offer each other support, and bear witness to the collective and individual growth that occurs with practice and presence.

ABOUT ME

Ice cream was my first solid food, and one of my favorites still.

By day, I’m mindbodygreen’s senior beauty and lifestyle editor.

I live in Brooklyn, but have lived in Manasquan, New Jersey and Guilford, Connecticut.

I wrote a book with my pal Emma Loewe last year, and it comes out in October 2018.

I took my first yoga class when I was 13.

Flowers always make me happy.

Sky Ting Yoga is my home studio, and it’s also where I became certified to teach yoga.

I used to have a lingerie blog. It was called that je ne sais quoi and was great fun to write.

I like drawing nudes on weekends with friends.

I have a husband, his name is Aaron.

I love abstractions especially in art.

The Ocean and New York are my favorite places.

I’d love to hear from you, say hello at wellawareco (at) gmail (dot) com.
