#1: EXCLUSIVE TRAILER: The Confidence Shortcut with Niki Sterner

Hey there! Welcome to The Confidence Shortcut podcast. I’m your host, Niki Sterner. I’m a mom, a wife, an actor, comedian, and a writer. But for years, I avoided the stage, turned down opportunities, and told myself I wasn’t ready. Just one more class or online program. But eventually, I got sick of playing small. So in 2024, I went on a Courage Quest, facing everything that scared me, and along the way, I figured out a shortcut to confidence. Now, I help ambitious women and creatives like you, stop overthinking, take bold action, and finally step into your dream life.This podcast is all about you and the simple steps you’ll learn to feel the fear and take action. It’s also going to be about how to rediscover your long, lost dream, shift your mindset to match it, and get in the habit of taking courageous action. Even if you’ve been conditioned to believe that dreams only come true for others, or if you believe you can’t pursue yours yet because of family obligations and finances, or if you keep on killing your momentum before you start with self sabotage.You can expect to hear from me each week.
