Growth doesn’t always mean doing more.

Sometimes the boldest, gutsiest thing you can do is pause—especially when everything is finally starting to work. In this Powerback® episode, LauraAura invites you into the discomfort of stillness: the unfamiliar space of thriving after years of chaos, survival mode, and overdoing.

If you're used to fixing, tinkering, and pushing… it can feel weird to let things work. But what if the next level isn’t in adding more—it’s in allowing what you’ve built to breathe, settle, and support you?

This is your permission slip to rest, hold, and not create a mess just because you're bored or uncomfortable with peace.

In this episode:

• Why success can feel uncomfortable when you’re used to survival mode
  
  
• The subconscious ways we sabotage momentum (even when we don’t mean to)
• How to know if you’re adding more just because you’re bored or uneasy
• Why “not moving” can be a power move—not a step backward
• A set of reflection questions to help you decide your right next move

Still navigating what your next move looks like?

Let’s figure it out together. Book a free 30-minute Clarity Session where we’ll explore what’s really next—whether it’s making a bold move or holding steady.

The Imposter Complex isn’t just self-doubt—it’s a complex system that thrives on high achievement and keeps you stuck in perfectionism, comparison, and fear of visibility.

In this episode, I’m joined by Tanya Geisler, a renowned leadership coach and speaker who’s spent over 15 years helping people dismantle the Imposter Complex and step into their ICONIC impact.

We talk about the 12 lies the Imposter Complex tells you, how to spot its behavior patterns, and how to shift out of over-functioning and into clarity and self-trust.

This one’s a must-listen if you’ve ever questioned whether you’re “good enough,” “ready enough,” or “qualified enough” to take up space and lead.

In this episode:

• What the Imposter Complex actually is—and why high-achievers are most affected
• The 12 lies it tells you and how to interrupt the spiral
• Why visibility is so hard for women (and what to do about it)
• How to shift from proving to being
• Why “capacity” and “clarity” are crucial for reclaiming your power
• The role of rituals and sacred pauses in recalibrating your worth

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?
