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.

131: How to Pay Off Debt, Save, and Spend (All at The Same Time) with Alli Williams
You know I love a good money conversation. Money holds a lot of energy which can be expansive or restrictive. And the space in between is the tricky part.
How do you expand when there are debts to be paid? How can you grow when you feel weighed down by your financial past?
Today, we’re talking with the CEO of FinanciALLI Focused about how you can pay off debt, save, and spend, all at the same time.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Where to start if money feels overwhelming or unattainable
- The common issues around money: guilt, fear & shame
- The 4 steps to take back control of your finances, pay off debt, and start saving (or spending) without guilt or shame
- How to prepare yourself for unexpected expenses
- Where to start paying off your debt
FinanciALLI Focused is a financial literacy company helping people to create a flexible financial plan they can actually stick to (no deprivation here). Alli paid off over six figures of debt while still saving, investing, and buying season football tickets. Alli has helped hundreds of people pay off debt, build savings, spend on what they value, invest, and feel confident about their finances.

“If you're sick of being stuck and you want change, you have to take that first step, and it might be scary, but I promise you, it is so worth it.”
