**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.

Powerback: Reconnecting With Your WHY Jun 24, 2021

Show notes

There is a reason and a purpose that you started your business.

But then all the business stuff happens and you realize that you’ve become,

your marketer,
your accountant,
your maintenance crew,
your social media team,
your photographer.

You’ve basically become everything in your business. And when you’re trying to juggle too many roles, that’s when burnout happens.

This week, I want to encourage you to take your PowerbackTM by really pausing and reliving and re-daydreaming about WHY you started your business in the first place.

Look, your WHY from when you started may be different than your why today?

That's okay. You're allowed to evolve.

But if your business life is not matching your WHY then this is an opportunity for you to take your Powerback™ by making a change and start living and working on purpose again.

Powerback 91: Evaluate and Rewrite Your Self-Worth Jun 10, 2021

Show notes

This week’s Powerback™ episode is about evaluating and rewriting your self-worth!

Self-worth is knowing who you are and saying YES to yourself!
Self-worth is knowing what you want to charge and having the gutsy to charge it!
Self-worth is knowing what you LOVE to do and doing more of that thing that lights you up!
Self-love is knowing when to say no instead of just going with the flow because you don’t want to upset people!

Look, self-worth is probably one of the biggest challenges that I know female entrepreneurs struggle with.

And I’m not saying that you’re never going to have negative thoughts -- it’s impossible to always be fucking sunshine and rainbows. But there is a difference between having a weak or negative moment, and choosing to stay there!

So this week, I challenge you to evaluate your self-worth by asking yourself,

Where are you holding back?
Where are you showing up as a percentage of yourself versus the full fucking throttle?

Because that is a key indicator of an area where you have some opportunity to take your Powerback™.

Powerback 90: Creating a Hell Yes Closet May 27, 2021

Show notes

Today, we're going to talk about taking your Powerback™ by creating a Hell Yes Closet.

So what does that even mean?

It means that you most likely have a closet, or drawers, or boxes, full of clothes, shoes and accessories that no longer serve you - maybe because there are memories attached to them or perhaps they were a gift.

Whatever the reason, I want you to pull out all the things that no longer serve you, and if they do not feel like a ‘Hell Yes’ then it's time to release them.

Releasing these items is going to:

Create a ton of capacity
Free you up energetically

And remember, If it's not a hell yes. It's a no!

Powerback 89: Optimize Your Social Bio to Attract the Right Clients May 13, 2021

Show notes

Social media bios!

I like to think of them as tiny little billboards of the internet - your opportunity to give a one or two liner and let people know who you are and what you do in this world.

This week’s Powerback™ lesson is all about optimizing your social media bio. And there seems to be a formula for the most successful bios:

You have to let people know what you do
You need to talk about who you serve
You have to tell people how you can solve a problem they are currently facing
You need to pull all these pieces together in one cohesive sentence

The goal here is for your future customers to see themselves in your bio, meaning you do what they need, and they fit the profile for who you do it for!

And remember, you do not have a lot of space, so making the most impact with the fewest words is really key.

Powerback 88: 3 Ways to Embrace Your Presence Apr 29, 2021

Show notes

Putting yourself out there is not always easy - there can be a million reasons why we hold ourselves back from being unapologetically ourselves.

But I am here to remind you that you have the power to be everything that you are!

This week’s Powerback™️ is all about embracing your presence. Whether it’s putting on a bold outfit or having something to say, you have to stop and ask yourself, ‘Does this feel like me?’

If the answer is yes then who gives a rat’s ass what anyone else has to say about it.

Because let me tell you, your Powerback™️ moments will come when you start saying yes to the question, ‘Does this feel like me?’ more often than you say no.

88: Putting Yourself Out There With Sophia Lorena Apr 27, 2021

Show notes

You have an idea that rolls around in your head, wakes you up in the middle of the night, and makes you so stinking excited that you could literally pee.

But then it stays hidden… but why?

One of the top reasons that women contain their ideas is because the idea of putting yourself out there is scary - it’s vulnerable. It puts you in the line of fire for criticism. But it could also be the one thing that aligns you with your life’s purpose.

Today, we’re talking about getting vulnerable and putting yourself out there and today’s guest has recently embodied this.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Lorena talks about how being furloughed was an incredible awakening
The importance of intentionality and sitting in gratitude
Stepping into vulnerability
Lorena walks us through how she started The Shit Show of My Twenties Podcast
Advice to people who have a good idea for a podcast but are fearful of the process and the know-how to operate the technology
Successful ways to connect with people and build a community
How to embrace the ‘Fuck it, let’s do it’ attitude
Creating an own alter ego to step into your higher self
The importance of going against what you ‘should’ do and rather do what you want to do
What are a lot of women resisting attracting?

Sophia Lorena is a twenty-year-old from California. She is the host of The Shit Show Of My Twenties Podcast. She got furloughed for almost three months this year and decided to move past her limiting beliefs and start the podcast she has always wanted to start.

Since April, she has interviewed over 95 people and has released over 85 episodes. She is passionate about helping women get out of their own way and create the life they desire.
