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.

PB 566: Teach Your Nervous System How to Chill TF Out
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You don’t have a time problem. You have a nervous system that’s been trained to stay on.
In this Powerback® episode, LauraAura breaks down why those small pockets of time—between meetings, appointments, or tasks—feel so uncomfortable to just be in.
Because instead of resting, you’ve trained your brain and body to fill every gap with doing.
Over time, that becomes your baseline. And suddenly, slowing down feels wrong. Unsafe, even.
This episode walks you through how to retrain that pattern—so your body no longer sees stillness as a threat, and you can actually relax, be present, and enjoy your life without needing to earn it first.
In this episode, LauraAura shares:
- Why your brain and body resist stillness (even when you want it)
- How “filling time” trains your nervous system to stay in overdrive
- The hidden beliefs tied to productivity, worth, and doing more
- Why slowing down can feel unsafe—and what to do about it
- A simple 3-step process to retrain your nervous system
- How to use “in-between moments” as a tool for recalibration
- Why this isn’t a one-time fix—but a new way of operating
