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.

567: Write the Bestselling Book You’re Meant to Write with Sara Connell
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You don’t write a book because you feel ready. You write a book because you feel called.
In this episode of The Gutsy Podcast, LauraAura sits down with Sara Connell to talk about what it really takes to write, finish, and publish a book that matters.
Sara shares her journey from personal transformation to bestselling author and book coach, unpacking the emotional resistance, identity shifts, and courage required to bring your story into the world. Together, they explore why so many women delay writing their book, the fears that surface during the process, and how writing becomes a vehicle for both healing and leadership.
This conversation is about more than publishing. It’s about visibility, voice, and trusting that your story is powerful enough to change lives — including your own.
