Description
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.

One moment I was pulling dried beef out of my sports bra in a gym parking lot. The next? A 70,000+ view viral moment on LinkedIn. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a post I never thought would land on a “professional” platform—and what happened when I hit publish anyway. This isn’t just a funny story about pot roast in a sports bra (though yes, that happened).

Growth doesn’t always mean doing more. Sometimes the boldest, gutsiest thing you can do is pause—especially when everything is finally starting to work.

If you're used to fixing, tinkering, and pushing… it can feel weird to let things work. But what if the next level isn’t in adding more—it’s in allowing what you’ve built to b...

You don’t have to wait until you’re maxed out to take your powerback. In this Powerback® episode, I share the one move I rely on to regulate my energy—before I hit burnout.

Rejection sucks—but what if it wasn’t actually you being rejected?

In this Powerback® episode, I share the full-circle story of a moment in an airport when I knew—deep in my body—that I would one day work with a specific Fortune 500 company.
