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.
