I’ve been a lot of things: overachiever, certification collector, HR ladder climber… and, eventually, corporate dropout.

I spent years working my ass off to collect a lot of fancy letters after my already-too-long last name, only to realize they didn’t f*cking matter. None of it filled the gap between what I was doing and who I really was.

I grew up with intense intuitive gifts. I was the kid talking to ghosts on the regular, thinking it was just weird that I was in haunted places a LOT. But like a lot of us with that gift… I shoved it all down. I wanted to be taken seriously. I wanted the “right” life. So I followed the “right” life checklist:

• Go to college

• Marry the guy

• Buy the house

• Have the kid

• Climb that ladder, babyyyy

And then one day, at 30, it hit me: was I really supposed to keep this up for another 35 years? I was exhausted. Burnt out. Living someone else’s version of “success.”

That collapse was my wake-up call. It forced me to do the thing I’d resisted most—lean into my spiritual gifts. But I didn’t want to be “all woo, all the time.” I loved building businesses, supporting leaders, and solving real problems in the workplace. I knew there had to be a way to bring both worlds together: intuition and strategy, spirit and structure, meaning and money.

That’s the foundation of everything I’ve built since.

✨ ConsciousHR — because people strategy can make or break a business, and profit isn’t a dirty word when it comes from good people.
✨ POPI (People on Purpose Inc.) — because small businesses deserve funding and support to employ people who make communities stronger.
✨ DisrUpstate — because leadership and HR need to evolve, and I’m here to shake the table with bold conversations and community events.
✨ The Cove @ ConsciousHR — because community, cozy spaces, and intentional strategy matter for founders who are just getting started.

This isn’t just about HR. Or coaching. Or coworking. It’s an ecosystem rooted in one belief: when we do business on purpose, with intention and humanity, everybody wins. Better People = Better Business = Better Communities.

Today, I’m a published author, speaker, medium, mentor, and multi-preneur. And I’m obsessed with helping executives and business owners tap into their intuition without checking out of the real world. Because when you lean in—when you trust yourself and lead with consciousness—magic shows up in your spreadsheets, your teams, your bottom line, and your life.

I’m Lindsay Mastro, and this is my mission:
To normalize trusting your gut as much as your P&L, so leaders can build conscious, people-first businesses that leave legacies worth remembering.
