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.

573: When What You Built Doesn’t Fit Anymore with Natalie Benamou
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What do you do when the career, business, or life you worked so hard to build… no longer feels right?
In this honest and layered conversation, LauraAura sits down with Natalie Benamou to talk about pivots, identity, entrepreneurship, burnout, and learning to trust yourself enough to change direction — even when other people don’t understand it.
Natalie shares her journey from spending nearly three decades in corporate leadership to building HerCsuite during COVID after her entire industry came to a halt. Together, they unpack what it feels like when success no longer fits, why so many women stay stuck in “linear” expectations, and how small pivots often create the biggest transformations.
LauraAura also opens up about one of her own biggest pivots — walking away from a commercial building project after realizing it no longer aligned with the life and business she actually wanted to create.
This episode is a reminder that pivots aren’t failures. They’re often the exact thing that creates the space, freedom, and alignment you’ve been craving.
In this episode:
- What it feels like when success no longer fits your life
- Pivoting from corporate leadership into entrepreneurship
- Why “linear” career paths don’t work for everyone anymore
- How to recognize when it’s time to make a change
- The difference between small pivots and life-altering pivots
- Releasing the pressure to keep building what no longer aligns
- Learning to trust your energy, body, and intuition
- The danger of staying too long in something that drains you
- Why simplifying your business can be a powerful pivot
- The importance of knowing your numbers before making a leap
- Giving yourself permission to change your mind
- Creating space for what actually matters now
