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.

263: When You Don't Feel Like a Leader (but you are one) with Shadae Paul
What does it really mean to be a leader—and how do you embody it when you're overwhelmed, burned out, or doubting yourself?
This week on The Gutsy Podcast, I sat down with powerhouse leader and faith-based mentor Shadae Paul, who drops pure gold on how to rise in your leadership—especially when the external titles don’t match the internal feeling.
We talk about:
- The difference between leading and performing
- Why your presence matters more than your perfection
- Faith-based leadership and how to hear the whisper that guides your next step
- Navigating burnout, imposter syndrome, and finding power in your voice
- How to step into leadership from where you are right now
Whether you're leading a business, a team, or just yourself through a season of growth—this conversation will remind you of the quiet power you already hold.
