    246: The Eldest Daughter Wound—And How to Finally Release It with Jasmine Braxton

    If you were the responsible one, the fixer, the emotional glue—this episode is for you. In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by coach and guide Jasmine Braxton to explore the complex reality of being the eldest daughter. From carrying unspoken family expectations to feeling like you have to be the strong one all the time, we talk about how this role shapes your identity, relationships, and self-worth—and how to begin the healing process. Jasmine breaks down the “eldest daughter wound,” how it plays out in adulthood, and why awareness alone isn’t enough—you need real tools to create emotional safety and boundaries. In this episode, we explore: ✅ What the eldest daughter wound is and how it shows up in your life ✅ The link between perfectionism, people-pleasing, and childhood roles ✅ Why it’s so hard to rest when you're used to being “the strong one” ✅ How to set boundaries without guilt ✅ Tools to reclaim your identity outside of who you take care of If you've ever felt like you're responsible for everyone else’s emotions, this episode will feel like both validation and a permission slip to choose you.

    Powerback 245: How do I stop caring what people think?

    How many times have you stopped yourself from doing something bold, creative, or life-changing—just because of what someone might think? In this episode, LauraAura cuts right to the root of one of the most common (and frustrating) blocks women face: the fear of judgment. Whether it’s fear of being misunderstood, criticized, or just not accepted, worrying about what others think can paralyze even the most powerful ideas and intentions. But here’s the truth—people are going to have opinions no matter what you do. This episode is part reminder, part wake-up call, and 100% encouragement to reclaim your voice, your truth, and your power. Laura breaks down how to disconnect from the noise, ground into your why, and move forward unapologetically—because your potential matters way more than their opinions. You’ll learn: Why caring what others think is a natural instinct—and how to move through it The powerful difference between being accepted for your truth vs. your compliance How to ground into your why and take action—even when it’s scary What to do when criticism hits (especially online) This is your call to move anyway. Because you’ve got far better things to do than play small to appease other people’s discomfort. Resources from this episode ✨ Ready to stop hesitating and take bold action?
