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 248: Control Is Draining You—Here’s What to Do Instead
Control feels like power—until it burns you out.
If you’re feeling stuck, scattered, or like you’re doing everything “right” and still spinning… this one’s for you.
This is a practical pep talk for when you’re trying to force something that clearly isn’t flowing—and your nervous system is fried.
In this episode, LauraAura walks you through the energetic (and very real) cost of gripping so tightly to things you can’t control—timelines, people, outcomes—and what happens when you finally loosen your grip.
Letting go isn’t giving up. It’s how you take your Powerback®.
You’ll learn:
- Why pushing harder is draining you—and what to do instead
- How resting actually gives you answers, not setbacks
- What it means to become the observer instead of becoming the situation
- A grounded mindset shift to release control without spiraling
If you're tired, frustrated, and feel like you're running in circles—this one’s for you.
You don’t need more effort. You need a reset.
