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

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

What if the massive shifts we’re craving in the world actually start with the way we treat ourselves?

In this episode of The Gutsy Podcast, LauraAura breaks down self-love as a practice—not a fluffy ideal, but a series of real, gritty, daily choices to honor your needs, speak your truth, and make the move you’ve been thinking about.

From changing the podcast episode numbering system (yes, really!) to modeling what it looks like to take up more space without apology, this episode is packed with relatable stories, a few laughs, and tons of heart. Plus, Laura shares powerful self-love prompts you can act on today—from unsubscribing from draining emails to wearing the outfit that makes you feel like a badass.

This isn’t just about bubble baths (although those are nice too). It’s about learning to trust yourself—and showing up like you actually believe in who you are.

In this episode:

• What self-love really looks like (and how it fuels every gutsy move)
• Why Laura changed the numbering system for the podcast—and how it became an act of radical self-trust
• How honoring what you want, even when it doesn’t make “logical sense,” is a form of self-leadership
• Why joy, clarity, and capacity increase when you choose yourself
• Simple self-love prompts you can try today to shift your energy and your confidence

The boldest moves always begin with self-love. Inside The Gutsy Collective, you’ll find a space to rebuild your relationship with yourself—alongside women who are learning to stop abandoning themselves, one gutsy move at a time.
