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 246: How Self-Abandonment Shows Up in High Achieving Women
You’re the one people count on. The finisher. The fixer. The high-achieving woman who gets shit done. But underneath the polished surface, are you quietly running on empty?
In this Powerback® episode, LauraAura pulls back the curtain on a powerful (and painful) truth: many high-achieving women are operating from a place of chronic self-abandonment. From overriding your intuition to pushing through exhaustion, people-pleasing, and never celebrating your wins—these patterns might be costing you more than you realize.
This is your wake-up call to stop putting yourself at the end of the line and start reclaiming your connection to you.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- The 6 most common patterns of self-abandonment among high achievers
- How to recognize and interrupt these cycles in real time
- Why prioritizing yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential
- A simple shift that can help you build real, sustainable success
You can be the badass, goal-getting woman and deeply care for yourself. It’s not either/or—it’s both.
