You say you’re ready for change—but are your actions aligning with that truth?

In this episode of the Powerback® series, we’re calling out the sneaky ways control shows up as procrastination. That curated plan, the hours “tweaking” your website, the spreadsheet that suddenly feels urgent… these tasks might feel productive, but they’re often clever distractions from the bold move you actually need to make.

LauraAura breaks down how to know when you’re in a control loop, how to spot the difference between perceived productivity and intentional momentum, and what happens when you release your white-knuckled grip and move anyway.

This is your permission slip to stop spinning in circles—and start making the moves that change everything.

In this episode:

• Why control is often just procrastination in disguise
• How to know when you’re “tinkering” instead of taking real action
• What true intentional control looks and feels like
• A powerful client story about visibility, speaking gigs, and the move that changed everything
• Three questions to get out of the loop and into forward motion

Ready to stop spinning and start moving?

2026 has big energy—and it’s calling you to move.

But here’s the thing: creating a defining year doesn’t come from one flashy leap. It’s built on a series of foundational shifts.

In this Powerback® episode, LauraAura shares the 5 core moves that shaped her defining year—not just externally, but on a soul-deep, sustainable level. You’ll learn how to stop teetering, clear space, interrupt self-sabotage, and start acting like the version of you who already has what she wants.

This isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about moving smarter, showing up differently, and giving yourself permission to build a life that actually feels good.

Whether you’re pivoting, scaling, or ready to finally go all in—this episode will walk you through the inner and outer work to make this your year.

• The actual work that creates a defining year (and why it’s not what you think)
• Five specific Powerback® moves that helped LauraAura go from stuck to sprinting
• How to reclaim time, shift habits, and act like the version of you who’s already there
• What to do when your old self wants to creep back in

ADHD isn’t just about focus or forgetfulness—it affects how you see yourself, your energy levels, your worth, and your ability to follow through. And if you’ve ever asked yourself “Why can’t I just do the thing?”, this episode will resonate deeply.

LauraAura is joined by ADHD coach and founder of Unconventional Minds, Skye Waterson, for an honest, insightful, and incredibly validating conversation about how ADHD impacts everything from productivity to personal identity. You’ll walk away with powerful reframes, self-trust tools, and a reminder that you’re not lazy—you’re wired differently.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by your own brain or wished you could just “get it together,” this episode will offer you both compassion and tangible shifts.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What ADHD really looks like (and why it’s often misunderstood)
• The emotional impact of ADHD on high-achieving women
• Why traditional productivity hacks don’t work for neurodivergent minds
• How to build systems and rhythms that actually support your brain
• How to stop measuring your worth by your output
• Why your self-talk matters more than any planner

Featured Guest: Skye Waterson

Skye Waterson is the founder of Unconventional Minds, where she helps women with ADHD transform overwhelm into clarity through personalized systems, neuroscience-backed tools, and radical self-acceptance. After years of struggling with her own ADHD symptoms—and being misdiagnosed—Skye built a coaching practice dedicated to helping women unlearn shame, ditch burnout, and create lives that support how their brains naturally work.

You don’t have to wait until you’re maxed out to take your powerback.

In this Powerback® episode, I share the one move I rely on to regulate my energy—before I hit burnout. It’s something I come back to when I feel overstimulated, yes, but also something I practice regularly to stay grounded, clear, and focused.

If you’re naturally empathetic and tend to absorb the energy around you, this is a way to recenter yourself—especially when everyone else’s needs and emotions start to cloud your own. Whether your brain feels loud, your environment feels chaotic, or you’re just not feeling like yourself, this episode will help you reconnect to what keeps you sane (and how to make space for more of it).

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why I call it “dumping the junk” and how it helps me reset
• How overstimulation and empathy show up in my body
• Tools I use daily and weekly to stay grounded and mentally clear
• How to create your own version (and why it doesn’t need to be fancy)
• How to recognize the physical signs that it’s time to release

Ready to make next year your gutsiest year yet?

Together, we’ll uncover what’s keeping you stuck, what you’re really craving, and your next gutsy move.

Rejection sucks—but what if it wasn’t actually you being rejected?

This week on The Gutsy Podcast, I’m joined by powerhouse speaker and coach Tanesha Moody to talk about one of the most important mindset shifts entrepreneurs and leaders can make: detaching your self-worth from the outcomes you’re chasing.

We dig into:

• Why high-achievers often take rejection personally (and how to stop)
• How to reframe "failure" into valuable feedback
• The difference between YOU and your offer—and why it matters
• How to bounce back with resilience and clarity when things don’t go as planned

If you’ve ever spiraled after a "no" or questioned whether you’re cut out for what you're building, this is your permission slip to stop internalizing rejection and start refining your path forward.

With a background in professional theatre and leadership roles at Salesforce, Disney, Under Armour, and Marriott, she helps leaders and teams build resilience, own their value, and show up FULL OUT—especially in the face of setbacks.

You know that moment when you're "functioning"—but just barely? You’re showing up, doing the work, tending to others… but under the surface, you’re depleted.

In this Powerback® episode, I’m walking you through one of the clearest visual signals that you’ve hit your energetic edge. I share a recent moment when this hit me like a brick wall and how I used this awareness as a tool instead of spiraling.

You’ll learn how to spot when your body is screaming for relief, what to do in that moment, and how you can start rebuilding your energy—without waiting for a breakdown to force your hand.

In this episode:

• A personal story that may feel eerily familiar
  
  
• How to know when you're functioning from burnout instead of alignment
  
  
• Why numbing out or powering through doesn't help—and what actually does
  
  
• How your body visually shows you when it’s reached its edge
  
  
• A simple, powerful question to bring you back to your center

• Faith-based leadership and how to hear the whisper that guides your next step
  
  
• Navigating burnout, imposter syndrome, and finding power in your voice
  
  
• How to step into leadership from where you are right now

Whether you're leading a business, a team, or just yourself through a season of growth—this conversation will remind you of the quiet power you already hold.
