Author, mystic, and guide helping women bloom into their fully realized selves — through sacred commerce, right livelihood, and the deep work of becoming.
For over two decades I've walked alongside women founders, seekers, and leaders — helping them move from striving to resonant, from scattered to purposeful, from surviving to thriving.
My work lives at the crossroads of new paradigm business, personal alchemy, and the intuitive arts. It's sacred. It's practical. And it's deeply, unapologetically human.

Transformation Practices
Born in 1973, childhood unfolded between Palo Alto and Geneva, Switzerland — a senior year in Rennes, France shaped a woman who would always see the world as wider than convention allows. UCSD graduate. Married her college sweetheart in 1996. The professional path moved from law firm to holistic spa to Accenture to software startups to a legacy IT project at AAA — two decades of competence quietly searching for its true calling.
Son born in 2000. Then the health crisis: a Lyme disease diagnosis, passed to all three children. $60K+ in medical bills, miscarriages, and a family stretched to its limits. The descent became the crucible. They moved to the Central Coast. Daughter Cricket was born at Hawks Perch — a multigenerational eco homestead. They built a strawbale farmhouse by hand in 2009. Daughter Ember arrived. The old world was finished. The new one hadn't arrived yet.
The turning point arrived as an epiphany: healing is not an external process — it's a journey into seeing yourself whole. Lindsay committed to investing only in wellness, and launched FCWT.com in 2011, documenting her healing journey and the birth of her entrepreneurial path. The Shift life-wheel app, daily gratitude practice, and the Sit Spot nature-medicine practice emerged as her three anchors. What began as survival became a system.
2014 marked the beginning of the Mystics work — masterminds, retreats, mastery groups, speaking, a membership community — all focused on right livelihood, equity, and conscious business for women founders. The Mystics Path was written. The Mystics Oracle deck launched. The first Mystics Almanac landed in 2019. She helped three women build seven-figure businesses, hosted conferences, and became known for something rarer than strategy: a framework for building business that serves life, not the other way around.
Covid brought long Covid, fires, grief, new diagnoses — and the livelihood followed, adapted, and grew alongside it all. Today: the Mystics Almanac in its ninth year, the Mystics Society community thriving, a second book underway (Mystic Motherhood & Intuitive Arts), retreats, speaking, and retainer clients. Day 177 of year 13 of a daily gratitude practice — and still in awe of having the chance to live it all. Big or little. Grief or gold.
Lindsay brings a rare combination of lived experience, intellectual depth, and genuine presence to every stage.
Her talks leave audiences not just informed but re-oriented — with a clearer sense of who they are and what they're actually here to do.
After Lyme disease brought her family to their knees, Lindsay discovered that healing isn't an external process — it's a journey into seeing yourself whole.
These three anchors are free, available to anyone, and carry profound transformative power.
A daily, unwavering practice of genuine appreciation. Now in its 13th year — over 4,700 consecutive days. Not affirmation. Acknowledgment.
Art, journal, or the Shift life-wheel app — a practice of seeing yourself in full. Where you are thriving. Where you are contracted. The map becomes the medicine.
Nature plus stillness — even from a patio chair. The earth carries what we cannot hold alone. This practice returns you to yourself, reliably.
her voice
"We are in the mushy middle of the imago cells — no longer a caterpillar, but not quite ready to emerge to see what kind of butterfly we've become.
We know there is no going back to the before times.
We all feel it.
We aren't who we were before, but I think we haven't quite figured out who we are becoming.
And that is okay. That is, in fact, the work."
— From her writing on the liminal space of transformation
"I finally know who I truly am. This work cracked me open in the most beautiful way — and then showed me exactly what to do with what I found."
"That inner voice telling me there's something more I'm supposed to be doing has finally gone quiet — because I'm actually living my dreams."
"I've never felt so on path and on fire in my life and business at the same time. Lindsay's work is unlike anything else I've encountered."
