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.

PB 574: Starting Over Sucks. We're Gonna Do It Anyways.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Starting over sounds inspiring… until you’re the one doing it.
Because nobody talks enough about what happens when you’ve already built something successful, created momentum, become known for something… and then realize it no longer fits. Starting over challenges your identity, your confidence, your pace, your plans, and the version of you everyone else expects.
In this Powerback® episode, LauraAura gets honest about the grief, discomfort, embarrassment, uncertainty, and identity shifts that come with starting over — whether you’re leaving a career, ending a relationship, pivoting your business, rebuilding your health, or choosing a completely new chapter.
Because yes, starting over sucks.
But continuing to stay in something you’ve outgrown? That costs even more.
This conversation is the reminder that you’re not starting from scratch — you’re starting from experience. And maybe this uncomfortable season is actually your invitation to build something that finally fits.
In this episode:
- Why starting over feels so uncomfortable (and why that’s normal)
- The grief that comes with letting go of old identities
- How being “the new one” again can impact confidence
- Why starting over often feels demoralizing after success
- The hidden challenge nobody talks about: your pace changing
- Questions to ask yourself before building your next chapter
- Why you’re not starting from zero — you’re starting with experience
- The identity shifts required to create something new
