Powerback 95: Reliving Your Why
The Gutsy Podcast | Mindset, Personal Development & Entrepreneurship for Women
08/06/21 • 8 min
Look, you and I both know that we tend to put being a mom first. But sometimes we tend to get a little lost in ourselves along the way.
So, if you're feeling uninspired, if you're just feeling kind of like a blob version of yourself, this week, I want you to take your PowerbackTM️ by looking at where the power leak is within your own soul.
Now you might be thinking, ‘Laura that’s really fucking deep. How in the hell do you want me to do that?’
- First, evaluate what makes you really happy.
- Then evaluate what makes you really unhappy.
Are you doing enough of the things that make you happy?
And are you asking for help on the things that are completely draining your energy? Because so much of taking your PowerbackTM️ lies in simply asking for help.
My hope for you today is that you start to realize how much of the power really is in your hands! You are a magnificent human being. And you can run a business, be a mom, be a spouse and be a friend.
And it doesn't have to be in a perfectly sliced pie.

27: All Things Money — How to Charge and Manage Your Cash
The Gutsy Podcast | Mindset, Personal Development & Entrepreneurship for Women
07/16/19 • 26 min
One of the biggest mistakes I see in business (and trust me, I had a front-row seat to this myself for the last decade) is undercharging. We feel BAD charging for something that comes so easy to us. So we end up not asking for what we're worth and simply dealing with the financial consequences that follow. Why? Because those consequences only affect ourselves—right? And we've somehow decided we're unworthy of requesting what others within our industry are asking for (even though we're pretty stellar at this stuff, too).
Money and I have had a complicated relationship for a long time, and it wasn’t until doing some deep work with an Executive Coach that I began to shift that relationship from toxic to abundance.
In this week’s episode, we lay down the framework on how to charge clients, collect payments, streamline finances, and utilize tools like QuickBooks to totally change your biz. (BTW, I mention a code in the episode to save you 50% off QuickBooks Online for the first 6 months—you can grab that here!)
So, if money has been a thorn in your side or you simply want to up your game... skootch on over and listen in to this week’s episode.

Powerback 174: Fuck being fearless
The Gutsy Podcast | Mindset, Personal Development & Entrepreneurship for Women
08/24/23 • 21 min
“Be fearless!” “Do it fearlessly!” “You're a fearless leader!”
This word, this catchphrase, this mantra so to speak has been inflated and thrown at you as another level of expectation of something that you must meet. It's this ideation that to move forward you must do it without fear being present.
Then, when you do feel fearful, when you do feel nervous or scared, it's so easy to internalize because of this messaging that “maybe there's something wrong with me and I'm not doing something right” or that “I need to put off my dreams or desires until fear isn't around”.
That, my friend, is why today's Powerback® episode is called “Fuck being fearless”. Tune in to discover how you can take your power back from your fears and start to call in and draw in all the things that you keep thinking and feeling about.
- Is it possible to be truly fearless?
- Another ‘should’ disguised as empowerment
- Dealing with the three things caused by the expectation of being fearless
- Using the Powerback® Process to shift your relationship with fear
- It’s not about being fearless, it’s about being gutsy

Powerback 197: Don't feed the Zombie Groundhog (tips for when you're feeling down)
The Gutsy Podcast | Mindset, Personal Development & Entrepreneurship for Women
03/07/24 • 24 min
I've been really sick lately, and this particular sickness has triggered some mental gunk that I was wholeheartedly not expecting.
One of the things that I have found that brings me a lot of clarity and a lot of focus, and honestly just helps me to feel a lot better is to write and to guide other people. So, as I'm going through this process I decided to share it with you.
Today's Powerback® episode is focused on not feeding your zombie groundhog. It is that creature that pops up kind of out of nowhere sometimes that just digs up every thought, worry, fear, and insecurity that you've ever had in your life.
So, let's get to know our zombie groundhogs together. Because when you understand what this feeling is, what is trying to tell you, and how to navigate through it, you can eliminate some of that isolation, some of that feel-on-fire feeling when you're not really feeling yourself.We’ll go through:
- The COVID symptom not everyone talks about: brain fog + zombie groundhog
- Allow yourself to sit with the discomfort especially when it’s difficult
- Get to know your zombie groundhog (listen to her message)
- Don’t feed your zombie groundhog (at least don’t make it worse)
- Don’t try to fix it! (how can you support yourself in this phase that you're in?)

Powerback 44: Infuse Simple Exercises into Your Busy Schedule
The Gutsy Podcast | Mindset, Personal Development & Entrepreneurship for Women
11/21/19 • 6 min
Earlier this week, we talked to Lauren about infusing simple exercises into your daily life and look, guys, I am one and the same as you. I have a lot going on on a regular basis. I'm being pulled in a lot of different directions and sometimes the thought of infusing exercise as one more thing, it's like, you know what? That's the easiest thing to not have to do. Let me just sit on the couch.
I want to tell you, I've been on this journey and if you've been following along with the podcast, you know that I love Peloton and I'm here to admit something — it sucks. But I'm going to admit it to you. So I had this amazing goal to buy this bike, right? This was something that I really wanted to do for myself. I knew that going to the gym was not my thing. There are just a hundred different reasons. So then I achieved that goal, which is amazing.
For a year I had a pretty good routine and I was working on a regular basis and you know, just doing all the great things on the Peloton and then life happened. Stuff got challenging at work. I wasn't keeping up with my home to the best of my abilities. I'm trying to invest in my mind. I'm trying to grow my business. I have a husband, I have a son, I have a family. I could keep going.
There are a lot of things that happen on a regular basis and guess what was one of the very first things to go? I stopped riding. I put on the weight I had lost. I lost the confidence I had gained. I lost my momentum and it just became easier to not do it because while I haven't been on it in a few weeks and now, in this case, a few months, why pick it back up?
This is a cycle I carry and I see that I'm being faced with right now to say, Hey, how bad do you want this? And not talking about the bike anymore because I have it. I'm talking about the growth of myself and my family and our business and our finances. To do greater things requires taking greater care of myself and I'm sitting here thinking, damn it, Laura, why are we back here? Why are we doing this again? Well, as we're growing and we get pulled in lots of directions, we are often the very first thing to go.
This week, I want you to take your power back by infusing a simple exercise into your busy schedule. I know you are busy and you know what, so am I. But you owe it to yourself to invest in your body.
Tune in to hear more!

Powerback 137: Aligning the Tools You Use
The Gutsy Podcast | Mindset, Personal Development & Entrepreneurship for Women
11/17/22 • 13 min
Whether you've been in business for six months or six years, you have probably accumulated a lot of tools that you're not using, aren't serving you anymore, or are ready to go.
This may not seem like a big deal, but right now, they're just taking up capacity, not only physically (in storage on your devices) but energetically.
So, in today’s Powerback® episode we’re going to explore a powerful way to start streamlining your life, reclaiming this capacity, and getting your Powerback®.
Let’s walk through an exercise together that will help you evaluate the things that you are using for your business and make sure the things that you invest your time, money, and energy in are in alignment.

Powerback 87: Tools & Tips for Maintaining a Clear and Focused Calendar
The Gutsy Podcast | Mindset, Personal Development & Entrepreneurship for Women
04/15/21 • 9 min
Today’s PowerbackTM episode is all about your calendar.
There's this unspoken expectation that we have to be available whenever somebody wants us - a client calls or a prospect calls or somebody wants to meet with us and we're just like, ‘Oh, that day is already full but I'll make it work.’
And then inevitably what happens is, you end up overspent for the day!
Overbooking and allowing other people to have control of your calendar is what I like to call a power leak - and it's not serving you nor anyone else.
So today's PowerbackTM lesson is tips and tricks on how to take your PowerbackTM in your calendar:
- Block out one day every week where you don’t meet anyone (not virtually nor in-person!)
- Schedule meetings using an online calendar like Calendly
- Block out the same day every week for recurring tasks (this will help you stay in your zone of genius!)
Just remember, this is your time and you get to make the rules!

Powerback 115: Undoing Your Social Media
The Gutsy Podcast | Mindset, Personal Development & Entrepreneurship for Women
05/19/22 • 8 min
The opportunities that social media provides are endless for a business owner in this era.
But with such possibilities comes an influx of social media apps requiring our attention.
As a business owner looking to grow audiences on each of these apps, it is hard to keep up, so how can you really leverage social media to its full potential?
Start by undoing your social media:
- Write down all the social media accounts you are currently using
- Take an emotional inventory of each of them
- Select the social media apps you would love to interact on
Once you have made this analysis, think about devoting time to the social media platforms you have selected.
You don’t have to be everywhere to be successful.
