Theatre of Public Speaking | Your First Step

Your first step to speaking with confidence

You have more
to say than you
let yourself say.

This course is for women who go quiet when they want to speak up. Who know what they think, but freeze when all eyes are on them. That feeling is not a flaw. And it is absolutely something you can change.

You know exactly
what you want to say.
Until it's time to say it.

You're not shy. You're not unprepared. You're not less capable than the people who seem at ease when they speak. You just haven't been taught the specific skills that make speaking feel manageable. Most people haven't.

😶
Your mind goes blank mid-sentence
You had the thought. Then the eyes landed on you and it disappeared.
💗
Your heart races before you even start
The dread starts hours before. Sometimes the night before.
🔇
You stay quiet instead of speaking up
You have something to add. You wait for the right moment. It passes.
🔄
You replay it afterward
"I rambled." "I said um too much." "I should have just said nothing."

"This is not a personality trait.
It is a skill gap.
And skills can be learned."

The anxiety, the freeze, the racing heart — those are your nervous system doing exactly what it was designed to do in a perceived threat. The problem is that no one taught you how to work with your nervous system when you speak. That's what this course does.

The MPH Method.
A system built for how
anxiety actually works.

Most speaking advice tells you to "just practice more" or "picture the audience in their underwear." That doesn't work, and you know it. The MPH Method was built on a different foundation — neuroscience, performance training, and the psychology of how your mind and body respond to being watched.

M
Manage Your Nervous System

Learn to calm the physical response before and during speaking. Breathwork, grounding techniques, and body language that signals safety to your brain — not just your audience.

P
Package Your Message

A 15-minute framework that helps you organize your thoughts quickly and clearly. No more rambling. No more going blank. Know what you want to say and how to say it.

H
Hold Your Presence

Learn to stay grounded and authentic when all eyes are on you. Eye contact, pace, and delivery that feels like you — not a performance version of you.

Four focused modules.
Real tools you'll use
right away.

Every lesson is 10 to 20 minutes. You can work through this in a weekend, or one module at a time between your other commitments. 90-day access means you can revisit anything you need.

Understanding and Reducing Your Anxiety

02
Organizing Your Thoughts So You Don't Ramble

"I've been dreading team meetings for three years. After the second module I raised my hand for the first time in a meeting and didn't shake. That felt enormous to me."

"I thought I was just a quiet person. Turns out I had no tools. Misty's approach actually makes sense of why I freeze and gives you something real to do about it."

"I used the breathing exercise before my daughter's wedding toast and it actually worked. I cried but I got through it. That's everything I wanted."

"It's not just what you say. It's how you show up to say it — and every woman deserves to know how."

I've coached CEOs, led global brand teams, directed actors on stage, and strategized multi-million dollar launches. But the work I care most about is helping women find their voice and trust it.

I built the Theatre of Public Speaking because I watched too many brilliant women go quiet in rooms where their voice was needed most. The skills that make speaking feel natural are real skills. They're learnable. And they change everything.

When ready

A few things
worth answering first.

Do I need any experience with public speaking? +
None at all. This course is designed specifically for women who are starting from scratch or who have tried before without results. No prior experience, no judgment.
I've tried other things and they didn't work. Why would this be different? +
Most approaches skip the root cause. They tell you to practice more, or breathe deep, without explaining why your body reacts the way it does or how to actually change it. The MPH Method addresses the physical and mental sides of anxiety at the same time. That's the difference.
How much time will this take? +
Each lesson is 10 to 20 minutes. You can move through the full course in a weekend, or take it one module at a time. You have 90 days of access so you can revisit what you need.
Is this just for professional presentations? +
Not at all. Women in this course use the tools for team meetings, job interviews, family gatherings, toasts, PTA meetings, and just feeling more comfortable speaking up in any situation where they've gone quiet before.
What comes after this course? +
When you're ready, Intermediate and Advanced programs are available. They build on what you learn here and take you into higher-stakes speaking environments. But there's no pressure to think that far ahead. Start here.
