What does it really take to make a gutsy move? And when was your last gutsy move?

 

I’m joined by LauraAura, keynote speaker, coach, and host of The Gutsy Podcast, who quit her full-time job at 6½ months pregnant to launch her first business. That was just the beginning of her Gutsy moves.

 

For years, she fought to keep her branding studio alive… until she realized the business she built had started owning her. Exhausted. Anxious. Cash-poor. Resentful. Something had to change.

 

In this conversation, LauraAura shares what happened when she got brutally honest with herself and stopped building her life around “shoulds.” We talk about identity, burnout, clarity, and what it really means to build a brand that feels aligned instead of performative.

 

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your own business, this episode will hit home.

 

🎙️ In this episode, we cover:

 

• The courage behind quitting her job while pregnant

• How to recognize when your business is consuming you

• Why radical honesty is the foundation of aligned branding

• How to strip away societal “shoulds”

• What a true “gutsy move” looks like in business

• 2–3 practical steps to simplify your brand message today

• Balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship

• One powerful exercise to help you come alive again

 

For 17+ years, LauraAura has helped people break through resistance and take bold action. Today, she’s a full-time keynote speaker and coach, featured in WealthInsider and Yahoo! News, with a Top 100 Global Podcast and a community of 60k+ people who show up for her lovingly blunt guidance.

 

Her message is simple but powerful:

Your mind can fuel your next big move… or keep you stuck.
