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 270: “Beauty Is Not Defined by Symmetry or Conformity”
What started as a trip to a high school art show quickly turned into a gut-punch of a realization: our girls are growing up under impossible pressure.
In this raw and powerful Powerback® episode, LauraAura unpacks the three heartbreaking themes that kept surfacing in the students' art—fear of the future, safety at school, and most loudly: body image. From sculptures wrapped in chains to titles like “Chained” and “Drowning in Tears,” the message was clear: self-worth is under siege.
This episode is an unfiltered reminder that confidence is not just about pep talks—it’s a radical inside job. One that starts with the words we say to ourselves, the energy we choose to absorb (or not), and the way we model self-love for the next generation.
In this episode:
- The three themes that came through loud and clear at a student art show
- How early negative self-talk begins—and how long it sticks
- Why representation and inclusion aren’t trends—they’re necessities
- A practical way to shift your internal narrative in real-time
- What happens when we model true self-acceptance (and who’s watching)
“Beauty is not defined by symmetry or conformity, but by honesty, vulnerability, and lived experience.”
- Jordyn W., Student at Greencastle Antrim High School
