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.

593: Why Successful Women Keep Repeating the Same Relationship Patterns with Laura Nagiel
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You can build a business, lead a team, handle pressure, and usually figure shit out. So why does dating or love feel so much harder?
Today's guest, Laura Nagiel, is a dating and confidence coach and the creator of the DREAM Framework, the method she's used to help high-achieving women find the one. We're talking dating, perfectionism, control, receiving, and all the ways ambitious women unintentionally recreate the same exhausting patterns, not just in work, but in love too.
But if you dig deeper, this conversation isn't really about dating or your current relationship at all. It’s more about your relationship with yourself. Self-trust, letting go of control, and being willing to ask yourself some pretty uncomfortable questions about what you actually want and whether you're creating space to receive it.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why high-achieving women struggle with dating even when they excel everywhere else
- The link between perfectionism, control, and people-pleasing in relationships
- How childhood patterns quietly shape adult relationship habits
- What it means to become a "match" for the relationship you want
- Why receiving (love, help, support, time) is the real common denominator
