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

The Style Mindset Reset: What's holding you back from your next level self? Find out what you may need to let go of in order to make an incredible and lasting style transformation.

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
