Powerback 251: Being really good at something you don’t want to do anymore

LauraAura® | Keynote Speaker, Growth Coach, and Entrepreneur of 18 Years

What happens when you’re excellent at something… but you’ve outgrown it?

Whether it’s a career, a role, a pattern, or a whole identity—you’re not broken for wanting to walk away. You’re evolving. And just because you're good at something doesn’t mean you have to keep doing it.

In this episode, LauraAura offers a grounded perspective on what it means to let go of things that no longer serve you—even when they once defined you. You’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck, how to make space for what actually lights you up, and how to move through the fear of disappointing others.

In this episode, you’ll uncover:

  • Why excellence can become a trap

  • The pressure of people-pleasing and proving yourself

  • How to know when it’s time to walk away—even if it “makes sense” to stay

  • A permission-filled mindset shift for letting go with power

This is your invitation to stop shrinking for a life you’ve already outgrown—and to trust what’s next, even if you can’t see it yet.
