Hi, I’m Niki.

For 25 years, I waited to feel ready.

I thought you had to feel confident before you took action. I thought if you were really meant to do something, you’d naturally be good at it. It would come easily. You wouldn’t feel so awkward, uncomfortable, or afraid.

​

Turns out, I had it backwards.

Confidence comes after action.

You get better by being willing to be bad at something first. You build courage by doing things that feel uncomfortable. And you discover what you’re capable of by moving before you have any proof that it’s going to work.

That realization changed my life and eventually became MOVE FORWARD MESSY.

​

Today, I’m an author, speaker, courage coach, storyteller, and award-winning filmmaker, and I help people stop waiting until they feel ready and start taking the tiny, brave steps toward the lives they really want.

​

I’m the author of MOVE FORWARD MESSY: The Confidence Shortcut for Your Bigger Life and host of the MOVE FORWARD MESSY podcast and YouTube series. I also created the 50-State MOVE FORWARD MESSY Courage Tour, where I’m traveling across America asking people one question:

​

“If you had all the confidence, time, energy, and money in the world, what would you be doing?”

​

Everything I create is designed to help you build the courage to answer that question and take your next tiny, brave step.

My mission is to help one million people find their voice and use it.

​

Because you don’t have to be good at it yet.
You don’t have to know exactly how it’s going to work.
And you definitely don’t have to feel ready.

​

You just have to be willing to MOVE FORWARD MESSY.
