“How did you get into this work?”

It’s one of the questions LauraAura gets asked the most—and in this Powerback® episode, she’s finally sharing the full story.

From being a graphic designer at the phonebook… to building a branding agency for 16 years… to navigating bankruptcy, burnout, people-pleasing, selling her business, selling a commercial building, and rebuilding her life around speaking, coaching, and The Gutsy Podcast—this episode is a raw, honest look at what it really took to get here.

But this isn’t just a timeline of career moves.

It’s a story about listening to yourself. Trusting the nudges. Letting go of things that no longer fit. And making the bold move before you feel fully ready.

If you’ve been standing at the edge of your own next chapter, this episode will remind you that you don’t need to have everything figured out to begin.

In this episode, LauraAura shares:

• The unexpected path that led her into speaking and coaching
• What working at the phonebook taught her about creativity and growth
• The pivotal moment that led her to leave her corporate job while pregnant
• How bankruptcy, burnout, and people-pleasing shaped her journey
• The evolution from branding agency owner → speaker, coach, and podcast host
• Why ignoring your intuition eventually catches up with you
• How to recognize what a “yes” and a “no” feel like in your body
• Why the biggest transformations happen through small, gutsy moves
