If you’ve ever felt like your body knows something your brain isn’t ready to admit—this conversation will speak directly to you.

In this episode of The Gutsy Podcast, LauraAura is joined by intuitive energy practitioner Alice Nova, who shares her path from burnout and identity loss to deep energetic healing. Together, they unpack how to release patterns that no longer serve you, move through resistance with grace, and reconnect with your own intuitive power—one small step at a time.

This episode is both grounding and expansive—an invitation to slow down, feel more, and reclaim your inner clarity.

In this episode

• The real reason resistance isn’t a flaw—but a form of protection
• Letting go of identity attachments when the old path no longer fits
• How to release emotional energy without feeding the story
• Rebuilding trust with your body and intuition

“Take up space.”

You’ve heard the phrase everywhere — motivational posts, leadership advice, empowerment quotes. But what does it actually mean?

In this Powerback® episode, LauraAura breaks down the real, practical meaning behind taking up space and why it matters so much for women who are ready to stop shrinking themselves to fit expectations.

Taking up space isn’t about being loud or reckless. It’s about choosing yourself in the moments when you would normally hold back — using your voice, expressing who you are, and showing up fully instead of conforming.

Through personal stories, practical questions, and real-life examples, LauraAura shows how small shifts in self-expression, confidence, and decision-making can create powerful ripple effects in your life, career, and the people around you.

If you’re ready to stop dimming your light and start practicing what it means to choose yourself, this episode will show you where to begin.

• What “taking up space” really means beyond motivational quotes
• Why women often shrink themselves without realizing it
• How conformity shows up in work, communication, and self-expression
• The subtle ways we hide our voice, ideas, and presence
• Why taking up space is about choosing yourself — not being louder
• The ripple effect that happens when women stop holding back
• Questions to help you start taking up space today

You’ve probably heard the term shadow work — but what does it actually mean, and how does it impact your ability to move forward in life and business?

In this episode, LauraAura sits down with Danielle Massi, a shadow work expert and former psychotherapist, to break down what shadow work really is, where it comes from, and why unconscious patterns often shape our decisions more than logic or motivation ever could.

Together, they explore how fear is often mistaken for intuition, how early life experiences wire the brain and body, and why unresolved patterns can quietly keep you stuck — even when you’re deeply committed to growth. This conversation blends neuroscience, psychology, and real-world examples to show how healing the root of your patterns can unlock clarity, confidence, and momentum.

If you’ve ever felt blocked, hesitant, or frustrated by repeating cycles you can’t explain, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface — and how to move forward with greater awareness and trust in yourself.

In This Episode

• What shadow work actually is — and why most people misunderstand it
• How unconscious patterns form in the brain and influence adult behavior
• Why fear is often mistaken for intuition
• How early experiences quietly block confidence and bold action
• The difference between looping in talk therapy and resolving patterns at the root
• Why curiosity creates movement without force
• What comes after healing — and how to integrate change in real life

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 work
• How old habits (people-pleasing, proving, overworking) sabotage new seasons
• The difference between learning the hard way and choosing to continue it
• How to identify your true capacity and upper limit
• Why protecting your energy is a leadership move
• The exact process: Notice → Pause → Recalibrate → Systemize
• How restructuring The Gutsy Podcast schedule restored her energy

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 it
• Why visibility feels so vulnerable (and how to reclaim it)
• How style becomes a form of self-trust and embodiment
• What to do if you don’t even know what you like anymore
• The truth about body changes, sizing, and shame
• Why shopping isn’t the first step in a style transformation
• Small, intentional shifts to feel like yourself again

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 you
• The sneaky power of “should” and how it hijacks your decisions
• How intentional consumption shapes your identity and next chapter
• The exact 4-step framework: Notice → Pause → Choose → Move
• A real-life example of how shifting my voice transformed my business results
• Why micro decisions are where sustainable change actually begins

What if the reason your offer isn’t selling—or is draining the life out of you—has nothing to do with your strategy… and everything to do with your design?

What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t because you’re doing it wrong—but because your energy is pulled in too many directions to move forward?

In this Powerback® episode, LauraAura gets to the root of why so many women feel like they’re “doing all the things” but still not making real progress. From busywork spirals to perfectionism disguised as productivity, Laura unpacks what’s really behind the spinning—and how to finally take aligned, gutsy action.

This isn’t a surface-level pep talk. It’s a compassionate, practical call to pause the hustle, get honest about what’s driving the overwhelm, and create movement from a place of clarity and intention.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, chaotic, or on the brink of “something,” this episode is for you.

In this episode, LauraAura shares:

• Why spinning often comes from internal pressure, not a lack of effort
• Common root causes that fuel the spiral (perfectionism, people-pleasing, comparison, overconsumption, and more)
• A powerful reframe on why you're not "doing it wrong"
• 3 guiding questions to help you focus your energy and move forward today
• A reminder that clarity comes from movement, not overthinking
