Ready to unleash the power of your voice and make speaking a meaningful part of your impact and income in 2026?
You’re invited into the Speaker Gateway
A six-week initiation into embodied leadership, visibility, and paid speaking.
The March 2026 cohort is underway. Join the waitlist for future cohorts.
The Speaker Gateway is a six-week initiation portal for creatives, leaders, and visionaries ready to step onto the stage and into the full power of their voice.
Led by four-time TEDx speaker and sought-after keynote speaker Lindsay MacMillan, the program blends energetic alchemy with grounded strategy to help you become a paid speaker.
You belong here if…
You know you’re here for a big purpose
You’re feeling called to share your stories, ideas, or leadership on stage
You’re ready to magnetize powerful, profitable opportunities from your voice
You’re curious about TEDx talks and/or other speaking pathways like keynotes and workshops
You’re done overthinking and ready to start embodying your speaker identity
Fear not…you don’t need a huge following, a polished reel, or prior speaking credentials.
You just need a willingness to show up, to be seen, and to meet your own power.
What you’ll receive during the experience…
Over six weeks, you’ll move through an energetic and practical initiation that leaves you with:
A regulated nervous system around visibility and being heard (no more blocked throat chakras!!)
A clear speaker identity and message positioning to highlight your superpowers
A signature talk, keynote concept, or social media video/podcast series rooted in your lived authority
Pitch language and bio copy you can use to land speaking events
Clear pathways for TEDx, panels, workshops, corporate talks, and social media
Confidence in your voice and leadership presence
A community of other visionaries on the speaker journey with you
Meet your guide
Lindsay MacMillan is the creative spark who helps you step into your most fully expressed self.
She is a keynote speaker, four-time TEDx speaker, five-time author, and creative channel.
Lindsay has built her speaking career from the ground up — without an agent or manager — and now regularly earns $5k–$10k per keynote while maintaining a deeply creative, spiritually aligned life.
Her work blends:
Narrative storytelling
Embodied leadership
Intuitive guidance
Practical strategy
Somatic healing
Spiritual growth
Real-world experience
Group facilitation
Lindsay guides clients through visibility blocks, helps clarify their message, and supports them in stepping into public leadership in a way that feels regulated, authentic, and sustainable.
At the heart of Lindsay’s work is the belief that you don’t need to become someone else to be successful. You just need to remember who you already are and unleash that magical, powerful self.
After investing tens of thousands of dollars in traditional speaker coaching programs that taught rigid, one-size-fits-all formulas (think: hustle culture, grind-it-out energy, sending 50+ cold pitches per day, and performative confidence), Lindsay realized something was missing.
Those systems didn’t honor the things that really propelled Lindsay’s career and life — intuition, “luck,” and energetic magnetism. So she built her own system based on what she knew to be her own strengths and superpowers.
Through five years of trial, error, and lived experience, Lindsay has developed an approach that integrates both the masculine (strategy, structure, execution) and the feminine (intuition, embodiment, creative channeling). The result is a framework that helps people uncover their authentic success code and build visibility, impact, and income from that place.
Lindsay isn’t here to give you a script to follow. She’s here to reflect your superpowers back to you and be the creative spark walking beside you as you cross the threshold into your most fully expressed and financially abundant self.
Format
The Speaker Gateway unfolds over six weeks. The cohort will have 8-10 people to ensure a highly personalized experience.
The program includes:
Six weekly 75-minute live Zoom calls (two options: Tuesdays at 1pm EST or 8pm EST - you can choose which session you attend based on your schedule each week)
These are your activation spaces: teaching, energetic work, live workshops, energetic alchemy, and practical guidance all in one.
Each session includes:
Message clarity + speaker strategy
Energetic visibility work
Live group coaching
Reflection + integration
Collective momentum
Calls are recorded if you can’t attend live.
Personalized Speaker Roadmap
At the end of the six weeks, you receive your personalized Speaker Pathway Map outlining:
Your Speaker Superpowers
90-day aligned action plan + target milestones
Revenue pathway (yes, we will talk money during this whole six-week program!!)
Referral game plan (aligned with your personalized magic)
Long-term expansion strategy
This helps crystallize all of your progress within the program and helps you keep the momentum flowing.
Two live guided meditations to unblock your throat chakra and support full self-expression.
These help dissolve fear around visibility and support you in showing up as your most fully expressed self.
Paid Initiation
In the final week, each participant will deliver a short version of their talk in our closing ceremony. Every speaker receives a $50 honorarium so your body gets to experience what it feels like to be a paid speaker. This is a powerful experience called “somatic imprinting.” Because becoming a speaker isn’t just about learning strategies…it’s about letting your nervous system register that your voice has value. You will leave this experience as a paid speaker!
Investment
The investment for the program is $777.
Sign up here to secure your spot.
Registration closes March 15th. We begin March 17th.
This cohort is capped at 10-12 speakers to ensure high-touch coaching and a personalized experience.
(Note on pricing: Lindsay’s six-week workshops are all priced at $1,500. This Speaker Gateway program is priced lower ONLY FOR THE MARCH 2026 COHORT since this is the beta speaking small group program. After years of coaching speakers 1:1 and building a very successful speaking business herself, she’s excited to bring together the best of what she’s learned into this inaugural cohort. She plans to offer Speaker Gateway program again later in the year, but at the higher price point. The $777 is a one-time-only offer.)
The Six-Week Speaker Gateway Experience
The Speaker Gateway unfolds as a six-week rite of passage, guiding you into your fully expressed power. Each week blends energetic embodiment with grounded strategy, helping you unlock your voice for both impact and income. Each week includes take-home work of a worksheet and voice note assignment to crystallize the teachings of the group session and apply it to your own goals.
Week 1: Claim Your Speaker Identity & Choose Your Stage
You’ll explore:
– Your natural speaking superpower + lived authority
– Energetic blocks around visibility and being paid
– What type of stages and settings you’re being called to (TEDx/keynotes/workshops/podcast/social media videos, etc)
– The difference between ego-driven stages vs. soul-aligned stages
– The long-term vision for your voice (brand builder? income driver? movement maker?)
Then you will choose your Primary Speaker Pathway. Maybe this is TEDx, university workshops, corporate keynotes, or podcast/social media videos. You will choose which pathway you will focus on, and this decision becomes your anchor for the next six weeks.
If you’re torn between two, you can choose a Primary and a Secondary Pathway to carry through the program. We just don’t want to fragment your energy too much!
Focus: Identity lock-in + aligned pathway selection.
Homework includes a one-page worksheet and 3-minute voice note to unblock your throat chakra.
