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 236: Letting Go of Self-Inflicted Expectations
You’ve heard the external noise telling you to push harder, go faster, and do more—but what happens when the loudest pressure isn’t coming from the outside, but from within?
In this Powerback® episode, LauraAura pulls back the curtain and shares a raw, real-life experience about burnout, expectations, and how missing two podcast episodes nearly sent her spiraling. (Spoiler: it didn’t.) Instead, she turned the moment into one of the most freeing lessons she’s ever lived—and now she’s teaching it to you.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to spot the self-inflicted pressure that’s quietly draining your energy
- Why “missing the mark” doesn’t mean failure—it means you’re human
- The power of reframing your own rules and creating realistic expectations
- How to get out of the trenches and reconnect with your why
- Why your body and your creativity need rest more than they need perfection
This episode is your reminder that you get to change the rules you created. Let that sink in.
