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.

    Powerback 550: Burned Out Doing What You Love? Here’s What to Fix

    Burned out doing something you actually love? You’re not crazy. And it doesn’t mean you picked the wrong thing. In this Powerback® episode, LauraAura unpacks why burnout often shows up inside the very work you care about most. When people-pleasing, overcompensating, and old hustle habits sneak into a new season, passion can quickly turn into pressure. This episode walks you through how to protect your time and energy, identify your upper limit, and build systems that support sustainable success — so you don’t start resenting the thing you once felt called to do. Because loving your work shouldn’t cost you your nervous system. In This Episode, LauraAura Shares: Why burnout can happen even when you love your workHow old habits (people-pleasing, proving, overworking) sabotage new seasonsThe difference between learning the hard way and choosing to continue itHow to identify your true capacity and upper limitWhy protecting your energy is a leadership moveThe exact process: Notice → Pause → Recalibrate → SystemizeHow restructuring The Gutsy Podcast schedule restored her energyResources from this episode 🔥 Auralign Mastermind If you’re in a growth season and realizing your next level requires different systems, different habits, and different boundaries — Auralign is where we build that infrastructure together.

    549: The Rules Holding You Back from Feeling Good in Your Clothes with Ellie Steinbrink

    What if the problem isn’t your closet—but the rules you’ve been silently following? This week on The Gutsy Podcast, LauraAura is joined by Ellie Steinbrink, a stylist and mindset mentor who helps women rebuild their self-image from the inside out. We dive deep into the unspoken “rules” women absorb about how they should dress—rules shaped by childhood, culture, work environments, and fear of judgment—and how those beliefs quietly dictate what we wear, how we feel, and whether or not we let ourselves be seen. This conversation is not about fashion. It’s about visibility, identity, and giving yourself permission to feel good—right now, as you are. In this episode The hidden “style rules” women follow without realizing itWhy visibility feels so vulnerable (and how to reclaim it)How style becomes a form of self-trust and embodimentWhat to do if you don’t even know what you like anymoreThe truth about body changes, sizing, and shameWhy shopping isn’t the first step in a style transformationSmall, intentional shifts to feel like yourself againResources from this episode The Style Mindset Reset: What's holding you back from your next level self?

    Powerback 548: Stop Living on Autopilot & Start Choosing With Intention

    You make hundreds—if not thousands—of decisions every single day. But how many of them are actually intentional? In this Powerback® episode, I unpack what it really means to stop living on autopilot and start consciously choosing your life—your words, your habits, your consumption, your tone, your energy. Inspired by a conversation with a listener who chose “intentional” as her word of the year, this episode explores how sustainable change doesn’t come from burning everything down—it comes from micro, intentional shifts. From the podcasts you listen to, to the corporate jargon you unconsciously absorb, to the way you show up in business or relationships… it all starts with noticing. Because you are allowed to choose. More often than you’ve been led to believe. In This Episode, you’ll learn: Why autopilot keeps you stuck in patterns that don’t feel like youThe sneaky power of “should” and how it hijacks your decisionsHow intentional consumption shapes your identity and next chapterThe exact 4-step framework: Notice → Pause → Choose → MoveA real-life example of how shifting my voice transformed my business resultsWhy micro decisions are where sustainable change actually beginsResources from this episode 🔥 Join Auralign Mastermind If you’re in a pivot, stepping into your next level, or ready to stop playing by rules that were never written for you—Auralign is where we refine your voice, your strategy, and your bold next move in real time.
