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.

• 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

Want your defining year to feel aligned, grounded, and guided?

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

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.

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

Ready to make next year your gutsiest year yet?

Rejection sucks—but what if it wasn’t actually you being rejected?

This week on The Gutsy Podcast, I’m joined by powerhouse speaker and coach Tanesha Moody to talk about one of the most important mindset shifts entrepreneurs and leaders can make: detaching your self-worth from the outcomes you’re chasing.

We dig into:

• Why high-achievers often take rejection personally (and how to stop)
• How to reframe "failure" into valuable feedback
• The difference between YOU and your offer—and why it matters
• How to bounce back with resilience and clarity when things don’t go as planned

If you’ve ever spiraled after a "no" or questioned whether you’re cut out for what you're building, this is your permission slip to stop internalizing rejection and start refining your path forward.

You know that moment when you're "functioning"—but just barely? You’re showing up, doing the work, tending to others… but under the surface, you’re depleted.

In this Powerback® episode, I’m walking you through one of the clearest visual signals that you’ve hit your energetic edge. I share a recent moment when this hit me like a brick wall and how I used this awareness as a tool instead of spiraling.

You’ll learn how to spot when your body is screaming for relief, what to do in that moment, and how you can start rebuilding your energy—without waiting for a breakdown to force your hand.

In this episode:

• A personal story that may feel eerily familiar
  
  
• How to know when you're functioning from burnout instead of alignment
  
  
• Why numbing out or powering through doesn't help—and what actually does
  
  
• How your body visually shows you when it’s reached its edge
  
  
• A simple, powerful question to bring you back to your center

What does it really mean to be a leader—and how do you embody it when you're overwhelmed, burned out, or doubting yourself?

This week on The Gutsy Podcast, I sat down with powerhouse leader and faith-based mentor Shadae Paul, who drops pure gold on how to rise in your leadership—especially when the external titles don’t match the internal feeling.

We talk about:

• The difference between leading and performing
  
  
• Why your presence matters more than your perfection
  
  
• Faith-based leadership and how to hear the whisper that guides your next step
  
  
• Navigating burnout, imposter syndrome, and finding power in your voice
  
  
• How to step into leadership from where you are right now

Whether you're leading a business, a team, or just yourself through a season of growth—this conversation will remind you of the quiet power you already hold.

You’ve made some moves—but maybe they didn’t feel big enough.

In this Powerback® episode, I’m flipping the script on the myth that small = insignificant. I’ll walk you through the real ripple effects of the moves we tend to dismiss—like finishing a nagging project, making a phone call, or clearing your damn email inbox—and why they matter more than we give them credit for.

You’ll hear inspiring stories from women inside The Gutsy Collective’s Wrap It Up Challenge who reclaimed their energy, creativity, and momentum through seemingly “small” shifts that sparked big results. Whether you’ve been doubting your progress, stuck in comparison, or just need a reminder that your effort is enough—this one’s for you.

In this episode, I share:

• Why women often downplay the impact of their own progress
  
  
• The real cost of lingering, unfinished projects
  
  
• How one phone call saved someone’s life—and why that’s not a “small” move
  
  
• Stories from the Wrap It Up Challenge that will light a fire in you
  
  
• A simple question to ask yourself when you start comparing

Ask yourself this: What did this move give you back?

When you shift from comparison to impact, you’ll start to recognize the power in what you’ve already done—and reclaim the energy to keep going.

Ready to make your next gutsy move—with support and momentum behind you?

Inside The Gutsy Collective, you’ll find coaching, community, and clarity to help you take action on the bold move you can’t stop thinking about.

I sat down with money coach Nicole Stanley, and we dove deep into a powerful conversation about debt, financial freedom, and why it’s often not about how much you earn—it’s about what you believe you’re allowed to have.

Nicole shared:

• The biggest mindset shifts that helped her and her clients become debt-free
  
  
• Practical, no-fluff budgeting strategies that don’t require giving up everything you love
  
  
• How to create financial safety and still enjoy your life
