About this listen

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 265: How to have a defining year
    Dec 4 2025

    2026 has big energy—and it’s calling you to move.

    But here’s the thing: creating a defining year doesn’t come from one flashy leap. It’s built on a series of foundational shifts.

    In this Powerback® episode, LauraAura shares the 5 core moves that shaped her defining year—not just externally, but on a soul-deep, sustainable level. You’ll learn how to stop teetering, clear space, interrupt self-sabotage, and start acting like the version of you who already has what she wants.

    This isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about moving smarter, showing up differently, and giving yourself permission to build a life that actually feels good.

    Whether you’re pivoting, scaling, or ready to finally go all in—this episode will walk you through the inner and outer work to make this your year.

    In this episode:
    • The actual work that creates a defining year (and why it’s not what you think)
    • Five specific Powerback® moves that helped LauraAura go from stuck to sprinting
    • How to reclaim time, shift habits, and act like the version of you who’s already there
    • What to do when your old self wants to creep back in

  • 265: How ADHD affects productivity, identity, and self-trust with Skye Waterson
    Dec 2 2025

    ADHD isn’t just about focus or forgetfulness—it affects how you see yourself, your energy levels, your worth, and your ability to follow through. And if you’ve ever asked yourself “Why can’t I just do the thing?”, this episode will resonate deeply.

    LauraAura is joined by ADHD coach and founder of Unconventional Minds, Skye Waterson, for an honest, insightful, and incredibly validating conversation about how ADHD impacts everything from productivity to personal identity. You’ll walk away with powerful reframes, self-trust tools, and a reminder that you’re not lazy—you’re wired differently.

    If you’ve ever felt frustrated by your own brain or wished you could just “get it together,” this episode will offer you both compassion and tangible shifts.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • What ADHD really looks like (and why it’s often misunderstood)
    • The emotional impact of ADHD on high-achieving women
    • Why traditional productivity hacks don’t work for neurodivergent minds
    • How to build systems and rhythms that actually support your brain
    • How to stop measuring your worth by your output
    • Why your self-talk matters more than any planner


    Featured Guest: Skye Waterson

    Skye Waterson is the founder of Unconventional Minds, where she helps women with ADHD transform overwhelm into clarity through personalized systems, neuroscience-backed tools, and radical self-acceptance. After years of struggling with her own ADHD symptoms—and being misdiagnosed—Skye built a coaching practice dedicated to helping women unlearn shame, ditch burnout, and create lives that support how their brains naturally work.

  • Powerback 264: The #1 Move That Keeps Me Sane
    Nov 25 2025

    You don’t have to wait until you’re maxed out to take your powerback.

    In this Powerback® episode, I share the one move I rely on to regulate my energy—before I hit burnout. It’s something I come back to when I feel overstimulated, yes, but also something I practice regularly to stay grounded, clear, and focused.

    If you’re naturally empathetic and tend to absorb the energy around you, this is a way to recenter yourself—especially when everyone else’s needs and emotions start to cloud your own. Whether your brain feels loud, your environment feels chaotic, or you’re just not feeling like yourself, this episode will help you reconnect to what keeps you sane (and how to make space for more of it).


    In this episode you’ll learn:

    • Why I call it “dumping the junk” and how it helps me reset
    • How overstimulation and empathy show up in my body
    • Tools I use daily and weekly to stay grounded and mentally clear
    • How to create your own version (and why it doesn’t need to be fancy)
    • How to recognize the physical signs that it’s time to release

    Together, we’ll uncover what’s keeping you stuck, what you’re really craving, and your next gutsy move.
