Lindsey Van Wagner

Author • Coach • Co-founder, Haven 101 

My focus lives at the intersection of creativity, healing, and conscious leadership. Through writing, teaching, and community-building, I create spaces where people can reconnect with their inner voice, rebuild self-trust, and move forward with greater clarity and intention—often after periods of disruption, loss, or recovery.

I’m the author of Spirit Vigilante and the creator of the Spirit Vigilante Experience, a writing-based journey that blends self-inquiry, creativity, and spiritual practice. My work is informed by lived experience in recovery for alcoholism, as well as training in neurolinguistic programming (NLP) and Mental and Emotional Release® (MER), which shape how I approach awareness, pattern change, and integration. At the core of everything I do is the belief that creativity is a stabilizing life force that helps people return to themselves.

​

Alongside my writing and teaching, I co-host SoberPod, a podcast centered on sobriety, recovery, and conscious living, and I regularly join conversations exploring healing and aligned leadership. These dialogues value honesty, curiosity, and lived experience over performance or prescription.

​

Today, my work includes writing, guiding small groups, podcasting, and building Haven 101—a multidisciplinary wellness studio devoted to presence, integrity, and human connection.
