Welcome to The Unfinished Human
A creative experiment in being and un-becoming in a world that rarely lets us.
The Unfinished Human is where I tell the truth—the raw, beautiful, often brutal kind.
Not the polished “five lessons from my trauma” version. The holy-wreckage-in-real-time kind.
The “what the actual fuck” kind.
If you’ve ever thought, I should have it all figured out by now—you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.
This isn’t self-help. It’s soul witness.
What came for me wasn’t clarity. It was collapse.
And then—something else.
Fair warning: I swear. A lot. Because sometimes, “What the actual fuck?” is the only accurate description of being alive.
This project was started by me — Lyndsay Toensing — after a few too many reality checks, identity earthquakes, and cosmic jokes at my expense.
A series of initiations disguised as breakdowns.
Burnout. A full hysterectomy. Chronic pain. Grief.
At 45, instead of achieving some grand peak of wisdom and stability, I got a shiny new set of labels: combined-type ADHD and level 1 ASD. (Yay, plot twists!)
And suddenly, everything I thought I knew about myself — about life — cracked wide open. Again.
What I found on the other side wasn’t failure.
It was an invitation.
An invitation to stop trying to finish myself — and start actually being with myself.
To honor the messy, imperfect, constantly shifting process that is…well, living.
To let the unraveling be just as sacred as the becoming.
The Unfinished Human is my way of holding up a lantern for anyone else navigating the weird, wild, beautiful, and brutal terrain of growth.
It’s for the ones tired of pretending they have it all together.
It’s for those who feel the tension between who they thought they were supposed to be — and the deeper, truer self rising up from underneath.
(Or falling apart first. Sometimes both.)
I write. I create. I channel. I witness.
Sometimes it’s an essay. Sometimes it’s an oracle card reflection.
Sometimes it’s a whispered truth you didn’t know you were ready to hear.
This is not a brand. This is a body of work.
It’s wrecked. Wild. And full of wonder.
And a generous sprinkling of sarcasm, of course.
I share what I’m learning — not as an expert, but as a fellow traveler in the dark and the light.
Because honestly? None of us really know what we’re doing.
So if you’re here, welcome.
You’re not late. You’re not broken.
You’re unfinished.
And maybe that’s exactly the point.
Thanks for being here — and for daring to step into the magic, mystery, and madness of being an Unfinished Human.
Welcome to the experiment.
With curiosity, courage, and a dash (or more) of rebellion,
