    Powerback 270: “Beauty Is Not Defined by Symmetry or Conformity”

    What started as a trip to a high school art show quickly turned into a gut-punch of a realization: our girls are growing up under impossible pressure. In this raw and powerful Powerback® episode, LauraAura unpacks the three heartbreaking themes that kept surfacing in the students' art—fear of the future, safety at school, and most loudly: body image. From sculptures wrapped in chains to titles like “Chained” and “Drowning in Tears,” the message was clear: self-worth is under siege. This episode is an unfiltered reminder that confidence is not just about pep talks—it’s a radical inside job. One that starts with the words we say to ourselves, the energy we choose to absorb (or not), and the way we model self-love for the next generation. In this episode: The three themes that came through loud and clear at a student art showHow early negative self-talk begins—and how long it sticksWhy representation and inclusion aren’t trends—they’re necessitiesA practical way to shift your internal narrative in real-timeWhat happens when we model true self-acceptance (and who’s watching)“Beauty is not defined by symmetry or conformity, but by honesty, vulnerability, and lived experience.” - Jordyn W., Student at Greencastle Antrim High School Resources from this episode ✨ Join The Gutsy Collective If you're ready to stop shrinking and start showing up—this is your space.

    270: Taking Up Space as a Leader with Leslie Marant

    If you've ever played by the rules, succeeded on paper, and still wondered, Where’s the freedom in all of this?—this episode is for you. This week on The Gutsy Podcast, LauraAura is joined by Leslie Marant, transformational leadership expert and founder of The ESP Effect. Leslie speaks directly to the woman who is ready to lead—but isn’t sure if she’s allowed to.

If you’ve ever felt like your inner knowing is in conflict with the status quo, this conversation will validate what you know to be true—and help you reclaim your voice and take up space as the leader you already are. In this episode: Redefining power in a way that feels authentic and sustainableThe personal cost of playing small to stay palatableHow to lead when the values in the room don’t align with yoursLetting go of approval-seeking and building convictionNavigating systems change as a woman in leadershipWhat it really means to take up spaceResources from this episodeIf this conversation stirred something in you—if you know you’re meant to lead differently but haven’t had the space, support, or strategy to do it—Auralign is your next move.

Together, we untangle old patterns, anchor into your next chapter, and align your leadership with who you actually are. You’ve already earned your seat.

    Powerback 269: I went viral on Linkedin for being "unprofessional"

    One moment I was pulling dried beef out of my sports bra in a gym parking lot. The next? A 70,000+ view viral moment on LinkedIn. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a post I never thought would land on a “professional” platform—and what happened when I hit publish anyway. This isn’t just a funny story about pot roast in a sports bra (though yes, that happened). It’s about the power of showing up as your full self, especially in spaces that want to polish and package you. You’ll hear what happened, how the internet responded, and why this unexpected post turned into one of the best reminders I’ve had in a long time: People want to connect with you, not your filtered version. In this episode: The real (and ridiculous) story that sparked a viral postWhy I almost didn’t post it on LinkedIn—and what changed my mindWhat “professionalism” really means (hint: not self-abandonment)The powerful ripple effect of being yourself in rooms full of titlesHow your most human moments can create the deepest connectionResources from this episodeConnect with LauraAura on LinkedIn Ready to show up more boldly—in your brand, your voice, or your next move?

    269: The Art of Fighting Fair with Tannaz Hosseinpour

    If you’ve ever felt stuck in cycles of miscommunication, emotional shutdown, or repeated arguments in your relationships—this episode will change the way you view conflict, connection, and your own nervous system. Tannaz is a couples therapist and the founder of Minutes on Growth, and she joined me to talk about how to build safer, deeper relationships through both inner and relational work. From how to “fight fair” to why emotional regulation is essential for true intimacy, this conversation is full of gentle wisdom and powerful truth bombs. We explore how to stay present in the moment (especially when emotions are high), how to communicate needs clearly without shame or blame, and why tending to our inner child is often the key to real repair. Whether you're navigating a romantic relationship, a close friendship, or a family dynamic—this episode offers practical tools to bring more safety, trust, and intimacy to every interaction. In this episode: Why “fighting” isn’t bad—but how you fight mattersThe nervous system’s role in conflict (and what to do when you’re dysregulated)How to recognize when you’re protecting instead of connectingCommunication strategies that prevent shutdown and deepen connectionThe difference between relational skills and inner work—and why we need bothBuilding emotional safety through self-awareness, boundaries, and vulnerabilityHow to use curiosity instead of assumption in hard conversationsTools to return to your body and regulate in real timeResources from this episodeWant a space to practice this kind of inner work and communication in real time?
