MOVE FORWARD MESSY with Niki Sterner
If you had all the confidence, time, energy, and money in the world, what would you be doing?
That’s the question at the heart of MOVE FORWARD MESSY with Niki Sterner, a podcast and YouTube series about everyday people finding the courage to go after the lives they truly want.
Author, speaker, courage coach, and storyteller Niki Sterner believes confidence isn’t something you wait for. It’s something you build.
Through honest conversations, real-life experiments, stories from the 50-State MOVE FORWARD MESSY Courage Tour, and behind-the-scenes lessons from building her own big dreams, Niki explores what happens when we stop waiting until we feel ready and start moving anyway.
You’ll hear from everyday people naming the dreams they’ve been afraid to pursue, former clients who took their own messy leaps and what actually worked for them, and people learning to turn a big “someday” into their next tiny, brave step.
Along the way, you’ll learn how to:
🔥 Practice Safe Discomfort
🎈 Engage in Intentional Play
🎤 Embrace Consistent Visibility
Because you don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to feel fearless. And you definitely don’t need to wait until you’re ready.
Find the dream. Build the belief. Take the next tiny, brave step.
Let’s MOVE FORWARD MESSY.
