I work with writers, speakers, and thought leaders to bring your body of work into the world.
My approach blends creativity + strategy, art + business, drawing on my unconventional journey from Wall Street to bestselling author, speaker, entrepreneur, and personal brand builder.
I work 1:1 with a small number of people at a time so our work can be deeply personalized and responsive to what you’re building. My style is warm and encouraging, but I’ll also lovingly call you out when you’re playing small and help you turn your big ideas into action.
If you’re in a season of expansion, I’d love to be in your corner.
(And if you’re newer to my world, you can learn more about my story here.)

Offer #2
The VIP Day (NYC, London, or virtual)
One immersive day together in-person, plus 2 weeks of voice-note support
For when you don’t need months of coaching; you just need dedicated space — and an identity-shifting in-person immersion — to think, co-create, make decisions, lock in your identity up-level, and gain the momentum that will help you MOVE.
We’ll spend a full day together (in person or virtually) going deep on your biggest priority, whether that’s your book, speaking career, business, personal brand, creative project, or next chapter. Then you’ll have two weeks of private voice-note support to integrate and implement what we create.
What people are saying about working with me…
“I landed a TEDx talk within six weeks of working with Lindsay, and I stepped on stage a few months later. It was incredible! Thank you, Lindsay!”
— Lis Best, Founder of Girls Club Collective and Host of the Women Changing the World Podcast“I couldn’t have started my author, speaker, and personal branding journey without Lindsay’s insight, support, experience and talent. She helped me find my confidence and my voice to begin an everlasting journey.”
— Babak Shokrian, Vineyard Owner, Filmmaker, and Novelist “Lindsay knows exactly how to motivate you to find your blocks, work through them and make progress in just a short time! I've never invested in such an impactful program.”
— Katrina Purcell, Founder and Host of the Managed Chaos podcast
Let’s dive deeper into each mentorship experience (the VIP Day, the Four-Month Creative Advisory program, and the one-time Mini Mentorship Session) so you can listen to your intuition + find the most aligned fit for you in your current season.
OFFER #1
THE VIP DAY
NYC, London, or Virtual
One full day (plus two weeks of integration) to get unstuck, receive precise clarity for your vision, and make progress that would usually take months.
A private 1:1 intensive for writers, speakers, founders + multi-passionate creatives ready for a big breakthrough.
Sometimes you don't need a long-term coaching program or another course. And a one-off Zoom call isn’t going to give you the momentum that you’re craving.
After working with 200+ creatives and founders, I realized that the VIP day — plus two weeks of voice note integration — is THE best way to catapult your momentum to the next level. It’s the only way to work with me 1:1 (other than my 4-month program). I no longer offer one-off Zoom sessions because they just don’t provide the transformation that you’re here for, and if you know me, I don’t do anything half way.
A full day to step away from the noise, zoom out, get honest about what you actually want, and have someone in your corner helping you turn the giant swirl of ideas in your brain into something real.
That's what the VIP Day is for.
We'll spend an entire day together (10am to 7pm) going deep on you, your work, and the next chapter you're building.
And you'll walk away with clarity, momentum, and a concrete plan for what comes next.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF...
You're a writer, speaker, founder…or some delightful combination of the above.
You’re not interested in blindly following someone else's blueprint for success.
You're sitting on a book, business, speaking career, personal brand, creative project, pivot, or next chapter that you know has more potential than you're currently accessing.
And you're ready to stop circling the same questions in your head and actually move.
WHAT COULD WE TACKLE?
Every VIP Day is completely customized around your biggest priorities.
For writers: We might work through your book concept, positioning, publishing strategy, author platform, launch plan, creative career, or how your book fits into the larger body of work you're building.
For speakers: We might clarify your signature ideas, keynote positioning, speaker brand, offers, outreach strategy, thought leadership, or how to turn your expertise into a bigger speaking platform.
For founders: We might dig into your positioning, personal brand, offers, audience, business model, visibility strategy, next revenue stream, or the giant pile of ideas you're trying to turn into a coherent ecosystem.
YOUR VIP DAY
We'll spend 10am–7pm together in person.
Before our day, I'll send you a questionnaire so I can get inside your world before we meet. You'll tell me what you're building, what's working, where you're stuck, and what would make this day feel transformational.
Then we'll design the day around your priorities.
This isn't eight straight hours of me talking at you.
We'll move between big-picture vision, strategy, decision-making and actual implementation so you leave having done something—not simply with pages of notes about everything you should eventually do.
EXAMPLE ITINERARY
Every VIP Day is personalized to you and what you’re building, but your day might look something like this:
10:00am Workshop #1: Vision + Strategy
We’ll start with coffee and go deep on the big picture: where you are, where you want to go, what’s keeping you stuck, and the biggest opportunities I see. Then we’ll begin mapping your strategy and making real decisions.
12:30pm : Lunch + Wellness Reset
We’ll break for a beautiful lunch, followed by a spa or wellness experience of your choice from a curated menu of options. Think massage, facial, sauna, yoga, or another restorative treatment depending on the city.
3:00pm: Workshop #2: Create + Implement
We’ll come back refreshed and turn the morning’s breakthroughs into something tangible—your roadmap, positioning, book or business strategy, content plan, pitch, offer, or whatever we’ve decided will create the most meaningful momentum.
5:30pm — Integration + Breathwork
We’ll close with reflection and guided breathwork to integrate the day, reconnect to the bigger vision, and make sure you leave feeling clear rather than overwhelmed.
6:00pm — Celebration Dinner
We’ll finish over a yummy farm-to-table meal…and probably some gelato or dessert too because breakthroughs deserve to be celebrated! And we all know that some of the best ideas tend to arrive once the official work is over, so we’ll bask in that energy at the end of the day.
And to help you integrate after the VIP Day…
YOU'LL ALSO GET 2 WEEKS OF INTEGRATION SUPPORT
For the two weeks following our VIP Day, you'll have private voice-note + messaging access to me.
That means you can implement while the ideas are fresh, send me what you're working on, ask the inevitable follow-up questions, and get support as you make your moves.
The day creates the breakthrough and identity shift, and the integration period helps you make it real and create lasting impact.
THE INVESTMENT
$2,500 In-Person ($1,500 Virtual)
(payment plans available)
Includes:
Pre-day deep-dive questionnaire + preparation
Private 1:1 VIP Strategy Day, 10am–7pm (workshops, plus meals, snacks, nonalcoholic drinks, and a spa or wellness activity)

WHERE?
VIP Days currently take place in New York City or London. Virtual options are available too (see pricing above).
You’re responsible for your own travel and lodging. If you’re traveling, I suggest planning a “you day” following the VIP day if you can to integrate, explore, and give yourself a bit of pampering!
BOOK YOUR VIP DAY
THE WHY…
We’re obsessed with consuming as much information as possible, but the truth is we don’t need more one-size-fits-all “strategy” or a longer list of things we “should” be doing. We need a deep immersion and a physical experience to unlock our next level and actually move us into a place of aligned action. When done right, this type of experience can save us months if not years of time.
That’s what the VIP Day is all about.
Strategy + somatics. Imagination + action. Business + breathwork.
It’s truly insane how much we can accomplish and unlock in just one day in person, and then the two weeks of voice note integration.
STILL WONDERING IF THIS IS FOR YOU?
As you’re assessing whether this is for you, tap into your energy and ask yourself where past breakthroughs have come from.
Personally, I’ve found that my biggest breakthroughs I’ve had have come from short, intense in-person experiences — and then a window of a couple weeks of support. While I do love longer-term coaching programs and invest in them often, nothing beats a VIP day or a retreat for me. I leave as a different person, and it’s like I’ve timeline hopped in the most profound way. That’s because my energy works SO WELL in spurts…and I get 10x more value if I’m in person rather than virtual.
If you’re like me and love the sprint and IRL experience, then the VIP Day is for you.
If you do better in a longer, more sustained container — and you do well with virtual sessions — then my signature four-month 1:1 mentorship program is for you (more info below).
Trust your intuition and where it’s guiding you.
If you’re craving longer-term support, my signature four-month mentorship programs might be the spot for you. I work with only a few 1:1 clients at a time to ensure you get my full devotion + capacity.
The Advisory Package (4 months)
A four-month, high-touch 1:1 mentorship for ambitious creatives ready to bring their ideas into the world.
Think of me as your mentor, strategic advisor, and creative thought partner. We’ll work together on the big-picture vision AND the practical moves that bring it to life.

Includes
• Two private strategy sessions (50 minutes) with me each month on Zoom. These sessions are completely personalized to you. Typically, one of the monthly sessions is focused on the art/creativity/visionary work, while the other focuses on the tactical brand building, action steps, and visibility work to help you magnetize your dream opportunities.
• Private voice message support (Tuesdays–Thursdays each week) for on-the-go support and real-time collaboration

Everything in the Advisory Package, plus my eyes directly on your work.

Whether you're developing a manuscript, book proposal, keynote, website, newsletter, personal brand, or other creative project, I'll give you in-depth feedback to help you bring the strongest possible version into the world.

What people are saying about working with me…
“I cannot recommend Lindsay's mentorship highly enough for authors who are serious about traditional publishing or self-publishing their novel. While other writing programs I've done focused solely on "creative" aspects like prose or character development, Lindsay provided this feedback AND helped me hone my novel to attract the attention of literary agents, fit genre expectations, and have the strong "hook" required for publishing. Her overflowing positivity, industry knowledge, and strategic perspective were exactly what I needed at this stage in my author journey.”
— Meagan Speare, Tech Director and Novelist
“I've done two of Lindsay's mentorship programs and one of her in-person retreats, and it's been such a joy every time. Lindsay isn't just a great writer with deep knowledge of the speaking, writing, and publishing industry - she also has a gift for bringing together (the best people). Every session is packed with inspiration, tactical pointers for actually "doing the dang thing," and she convenes amazing, genuine humans. I started the 6-month mentorship program with a handful of scattered journal entries I was just barely comfortable calling "poems." I left with a full poetry manuscript and an actionable plan to publish it. Thank you to Lindsay, and to the incredible people she draws in, for being a support system that helped me make huge strides as a writer, get comfortable calling myself an author, and finally do the thing I'd been putting off my whole life. You can't go wrong with any of Lindsay's programs. The only mistake would be to not let yourself start.”
— Lexie Wark, Marketing Exec and Author
"I came to Lindsay with a book idea but a lot of questions about how to actually bring it into the world. She's a book oracle: She saw my vision for the book immediately and helped me decide the right publishing methods for the vision. Ultimately, I decided to self publish and Lindsay was there with me the whole way: Giving feedback on the outline, holding me accountable to actually getting words on the page, and walking me through how to find a team to make the book as high quality as possible. During my launch, her support was invaluable, too. She knew what I might experience and was able to keep me steady through the emotional ups and downs. My book is in the world because of Lindsay's support, no doubt about it. She brings an incredible combination of strategy, creativity, precision and intuition to the process. I can't recommend her more highly!"
-Jenni Gritters, Author of The Sustainable Solopreneur (2025)
“Lindsay MacMillan has a gift! As a writer/speaker, as a teacher, as a coach, and just as a creative, she has a way of seeing into your vision and bringing out the full purpose and potential of what you’re trying to say. For her, it’s not just about the story but the author’s connection to their work. She also knows the business of the creative world so intimately and makes sure you think about how to market your message effectively. As a first time writer and someone who is growing my speaking business and personal brand, the process can be super stressful and overwhelming, so Lindsay helped so much. Lindsay is an excellent thought partner, a brilliant strategist, and also just has a kind, deeply thoughtful, and pleasant energy. I cannot recommend her enough, and have enjoyed the writing, speaking, and branding journey much more once we started working together. Trust me, let her share her gift with you!”
— Bea Arthur, Therapist, Speaker, Author, and Entrepreneur (First Black woman to graduate from Y Combinator)
“Coming out of Lindsay’s mentorship program, I had a book proposal, a query letter, and a new clarity in the direction my book was taking. These milestones were massively accelerated by this program. Shortly after I signed with an agent and got my first book deal with Hachette! As a brand new author and someone with a corporate background, I appreciated Lindsay’s clear feedback which both met me where I was at while also holding me to a new standard in my writing. I’d recommend her mentorship to anyone who wants to get into action and accelerate their book project, whatever stage it is in.”
—Brooke Taylor, Author of Healing the Success Wound (Hachette, 2026)
“Before working with Lindsay, my book had been living in my heart and my head for years. I had the idea, the expertise, and the passion but I couldn't seem to turn it into action. Working with Lindsay changed that. What I valued most was that she understood both sides: the craft of writing and the business of being an author. She gave me structure, honest feedback, and a container that made this feel doable instead of overwhelming. Six months later, I'm walking away with a completed book proposal and I'm actively querying literary agents. That's not something I could have said before this program. If you're a fiction or nonfiction author who has been sitting on an idea and waiting for the right moment, Lindsay is the person who will help you stop waiting. I can't recommend her enough.”
- Dr. Lisette Sanchez, Licensed Psychologist & Author

"I absolutely recommend Lindsay's sessions for anyone seeking clarity (and might I say, spiritual) confirmation on their creative calling."
“The word that immediately comes to mind when I think about this session is affirmation! I came to Lindsay's coaching session with only a book concept in mind, and she affirmed so much of the energy and vision that inspired this idea. I felt truly seen in this vision and left with an incredible overview to make this a reality in a tangible, aligned way.”
— Ashley Graham, Founder of The Conscious Publicist®
-
"Lindsay’s breakthrough session gave me exactly what I needed at this stage of my book journey — clarity, affirmation, and a sense of alignment."
“She helped me see my book not just as a project, but as a living body of work with its own purpose and direction, while also offering thoughtful, practical guidance on next steps. I left feeling lighter, more confident, and energized about my proposal and publishing path. I’d highly recommend Lindsay to any author navigating the creative and strategic sides of writing a book or building a creative career.”
— Lauren Strayhorn
-
"I truly think Lindsay is the best mentor for my book and speaker journey at this time in my life."
“I’ve worked with Lindsay 1:1 and in small group settings for my writing, speaking, and holistic business growth. She understands my purpose and passion for while also offering practical insight into how to move from idea to completed project. What I also loved about our time together was that she inspired me to see myself as the person to write this book, in a way that I normally would not have allowed myself to -- with ease and intuition. I’m so grateful I found her and highly recommend working with her!”
— Kara Stevens
-
"I had a breakthrough session with Lindsay, and it was immediately clear that she is both deeply spiritually attuned and incredibly knowledgeable about all things publishing, speaking, and creative growth."
“Her energy is warm, grounded, and reassuring, and she offers insight that is not only intuitive but also deeply practical and actionable. I left the session feeling clear, supported, and excited about my next steps. I would absolutely recommend working with her.”
— Emilie Given
My philosophy…
You weren’t born to grind your life away! Let’s unleash your creative power and get you PAID for your magical gifts.
A bit more about me…
Prior to becoming an author, speaker, and creative entrepreneur, I was deep in the corporate grind.
After becoming a VP at Goldman Sachs, I took an unconventional pivot, leaving that “stable, successful” job to build a different, more creative, more aligned life for myself.
Now four years later, I’ve published five best-selling books, given four TEDx talks and dozens of keynotes, and built a creative business that out-earns my Wall Street salary.
Through my coaching programs and retreats, I help other people step more into their purpose too.
I work with a small number of ambitious, creative, and forward-thinking professionals navigating transitions, creative callings, and powerful next chapters.
My approach blends the soulful and the strategic so you can move towards your big dreams with both your left brain and right brain (and your whole soul!).
I’d be honored to support you in this next chapter.
