The Gutsy Podcast | Mindset, Personal Development & Entrepreneurship for Women

The Gutsy Podcast is for women, entrepreneurs, and go-getters who are ready to stop holding back and start making gutsy moves in their lives and businesses.

Hosted by Keynote Speaker and Coach, LauraAura, this show is your weekly guide to owning what you actually want, shifting the mind junk that’s been holding you back, and taking bold steps toward your goals. 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. Desire drives you, but gutsy? That’s what gets it done.

What would shift if you gave yourself full permission to be you?

So many of us were taught to dial it back — to soften our voice, blend in, follow the rules, and do what’s “acceptable.” But here’s the truth: conforming is costing you energy, clarity, and connection.

In this episode, LauraAura gets real about the subtle ways we hide who we are to make others more comfortable… and how reclaiming your full expression can radically shift...

You’re showing up, handling life, keeping it together—but there’s something beneath the surface you’ve been putting up with.

In this episode, LauraAura calls out the quiet burdens you’ve gotten used to carrying: the things you "just deal with," put off, or minimize. These aren’t minor annoyances—they’re clues.

What happens when you’re excellent at something… but you’ve outgrown it?

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
