This month's Odacité Kind of Girl is Lindsay Kellner, a freelance writer, editor, and strategist. Lindsay is formerly the senior beauty and lifestyle editor at mindbodygreen.com, where she reported on wellness trends, mental health, inner beauty, and everything in between. We love her wealth of knowledge and passion on anything wellness related.
She has her own blog and podcast, Well Aware, through which she explores the intersection of spirituality and creativity with her guests and listeners. Lindsay is a 200-hour certified yoga teacher through Sky Ting, and has a degree in journalism and psychology from NYU.
When she's not writing, she enjoys figure drawing and painting. Her latest project is the book The Spirit Almanac that just launched earlier this year. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and her cat.

Ideally the day starts with pilates. Then, I’d walk everywhere and catch up with friends and family on the phone while seeking out serendipitous experiences: visits to parks, boutiques, art shows, or coffee shops are I wouldn’t have otherwise seen.
