Business
**The Gutsy Podcast | Mindset, Personal Development & Entrepreneurship for Women**

The Gutsy Podcast is for women, entrepreneurs, and go-getters who are ready to stop holding back and start making gutsy moves in their lives and businesses. Gutsy is the belief and action that happens in the split second when you’re faced with a decision—but this time you choose to go for it instead of going back.

Hosted by Keynote Speaker and Coach, LauraAura, this show is your weekly guide to owning what you actually want, shifting the mind junk that’s been holding you back, and taking bold steps toward your goals.

Each week, you’ll get powerful insights, actionable strategies, and inspiring stories designed to help you break free from overthinking and overcomplicating. Whether you’re tuning in for a full episode or a quick Powerback® session, you’ll walk away with the confidence and clarity to stop fighting yourself and start going for it.

Desire drives you, but gutsy? That’s what gets it done.

Show notes

Creativity isn’t reserved for artists—it’s how your soul expresses, solves, and leads.

In this episode of The Gutsy Podcast, I’m joined by creativity activator and energetic mentor Amanda Ray to explore how to reconnect with your creative life force—even if you don’t consider yourself “creative.”

We talk about how creativity lives in your body, how to work with your energy to unlock it, and how doing so can support you in business, self-expression, and expansion.

In this episode, we explore:

What it really means to be creative (hint: you already are)
How your nervous system affects your ability to create
Why burnout and perfectionism block expression
Practices to access your innate creativity

Powerback 253: Working With Your Bouncy ADHD Brain (Not Against It) Aug 28, 2025

Show notes

What happens when you stop fighting your ADHD-style, multi-tab brain—and start giving it the space it needs to do its thing?

Whether you’re self-diagnosed neurospicy or just juggling a million ideas a minute, this episode is about reclaiming your energy, focus, and flow… without forcing yourself into someone else’s mold.

Laura breaks down her own “Bouncy Brain Method,” inspired by a half-made-up morning, rogue pants, a toothbrush, and a sudden realization: what if your brain isn’t broken—it’s brilliant when you give it freedom?

You’ll learn how to work with your energy instead of suppressing it, create containers for your focus, and radically accept how your brain actually works (instead of shaming it). This one’s for every high-achieving woman who feels like she’s doing a thousand things but still behind. You’re not behind—you’re just wired differently.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How “letting the toddler run wild” can lead to deeper focus later
What happens when you suppress your brain’s natural rhythm
The two-part method to balance productivity with neurospicy energy
Why multitasking might not be the enemy—but trying to be someone else is
How to create your own systems of focus, flow, and sustainable energy

253: Grieving While Growing: The Emotional Cost of Transformation with Sabine Gedeon Aug 26, 2025

Show notes

Everyone talks about the glow-up… but what about what you have to let go of to grow?

In this episode of The Gutsy Podcast, I’m joined by transformational coach, speaker, and author Sabine Gedeon for a real, raw conversation about what most people don’t talk about during personal and professional growth: grief, identity loss, and emotional unraveling.

We explore how true transformation often requires letting go of relationships, versions of ourselves, or long-held roles that no longer fit — and how grief isn’t just about death, it’s about detachment from what once defined you.

In this episode, we explore:

The grief we don’t talk about during growth
Why losing parts of yourself is often part of becoming yourself
How leaders can create space for emotional processing
The identity crisis that comes with personal reinvention
Why honoring your feelings is the most powerful move you can make

If you’ve been walking through a season of change that feels both exciting and hard, this episode is the reminder that you’re not broken — you’re evolving.

Powerback 252: What have you been tolerating? Aug 21, 2025

Show notes

You’re showing up, handling life, keeping it together—but there’s something beneath the surface you’ve been putting up with.

In this episode, LauraAura calls out the quiet burdens you’ve gotten used to carrying: the things you "just deal with," put off, or minimize. These aren’t minor annoyances—they’re clues. Because what you tolerate sets the tone for what you allow, and what you allow shapes how much power you actually have access to.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

How to identify what you’ve been tolerating and why
The silent impact it’s having on your energy, time, and self-worth
Why tolerating something doesn’t mean you’re weak—it means you’re overdue for a shift
A grounding process to take your power back (without spiraling)

Resources from this episode

✨ Learning how to prioritize yourself—but craving community while you do it?

The Gutsy Collective is a coaching-based membership for women who are ready to stop tolerating what’s not working and start taking bold, aligned action.

Inside, you’ll get real-time support, tools that actually work, and space to ask questions, get coached, and be surrounded by women who get it.

252: Expand Your Capacity to Receive and Hold More Money with Aubrianna Kay Aug 19, 2025

Show notes

What if your nervous system—not your strategy—is the reason you’re not making more money?

In this episode of The Gutsy Podcast, I’m joined by business mentor and energetics coach Aubrianna Kay for a conversation that flips traditional income advice on its head.

We’re not talking about doing more, pushing harder, or chasing another “perfect” offer. We’re talking about expanding your capacity to receive, hold, and sustain more income by creating safety in your body and business.

Aubrianna shares how familiar patterns—like feast-and-famine cycles, undercharging, or resisting visibility—often stem from subconscious beliefs and dysregulated nervous systems.

In this episode, we explore:
✅ Why you might be subconsciously resisting more money
✅ How to create safety in your body to receive and hold income
✅ The role of nervous system regulation in sustainable growth
✅ What happens when you outgrow your old financial identity
✅ How to shift from hustle to spacious, embodied receiving

If you’ve been hitting an income ceiling or struggling to stabilize growth, this episode will show you what’s happening under the surface—and how to shift it.

Powerback 251: Being really good at something you don’t want to do anymore Aug 15, 2025

Show notes

What happens when you’re excellent at something… but you’ve outgrown it?

Whether it’s a career, a role, a pattern, or a whole identity—you’re not broken for wanting to walk away. You’re evolving. And just because you're good at something doesn’t mean you have to keep doing it.

In this episode, LauraAura offers a grounded perspective on what it means to let go of things that no longer serve you—even when they once defined you. You’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck, how to make space for what actually lights you up, and how to move through the fear of disappointing others.

In this episode, you’ll uncover:

Why excellence can become a trap
The pressure of people-pleasing and proving yourself
How to know when it’s time to walk away—even if it “makes sense” to stay
A permission-filled mindset shift for letting go with power

This is your invitation to stop shrinking for a life you’ve already outgrown—and to trust what’s next, even if you can’t see it yet.

Resources from this episode

✨ Ready to stop spinning and start aligning?
If you're standing at a crossroads, questioning what’s next, or craving deeper clarity—you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Auralign® is my signature 6-month group experience for women who are ready to make bold moves from a place of truth—not pressure, burnout, or people-pleasing.

✅ How to build a simple routine that actually works
