You’ve read the books, taken the classes, hired the coach, done the inner work—and yet, it’s still not working. If you’re stuck in the in-between, exhausted from doing “all the right things” with little to show for it, this episode is your lifeline.

LauraAura shares four sneaky things that may still be holding you back—and how these hidden blocks are actually the doorways to your next breakthrough. These aren't fluffy tips. They're the real-deal, gut-punch truths that could finally get you unstuck.

You’ll learn:

• The subconscious belief that quietly sabotages your progress
  
  
• Why resistance to one key task is costing you everything
  
  
• The invisible cost of doing it all alone
  
  
• How overcommitting is blurring your clarity and burning you out
  
  
  

If you’ve been yelling “What the hell else do I have to do?!” into the void—this is it.

Can you really lead with empathy and humanity—and get results?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by leadership expert Layci Nelson, founder of Transcend Leadership Collective, for a conversation every leader needs to hear. We explore what it really means to lead with heart, how to create a people-first workplace, and why compassion and accountability don’t have to be at odds.

If you’ve ever worried that being a “soft” leader means sacrificing authority or effectiveness, this conversation will challenge everything you’ve been told.

Layci shares practical, actionable ways to build a culture your team actually wants to be part of—while still holding high standards, creating clear expectations, and delivering results that matter.

In this episode, we talk about:
✨ Why so many workplaces feel disengaging (and what to do about it)
✨ How to balance empathy with authority as a leader
✨ Practical shifts leaders can make to improve team morale and well-being
✨ Layci’s HHART First Framework for human-centered leadership
✨ How to lead with compassion without burning out—or burning bridges

Whether you lead a team or aspire to, this is a must-listen for anyone who believes leadership can be both bold and kind.

You’re the one people count on. The finisher. The fixer. The high-achieving woman who gets shit done. But underneath the polished surface, are you quietly running on empty?

In this Powerback® episode, LauraAura pulls back the curtain on a powerful (and painful) truth: many high-achieving women are operating from a place of chronic self-abandonment. From overriding your intuition to pushing through exhaustion, people-pleasing, and never celebrating your wins—these patterns might be costing you more than you realize.

This is your wake-up call to stop putting yourself at the end of the line and start reclaiming your connection to you.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• The 6 most common patterns of self-abandonment among high achievers
  
  
• How to recognize and interrupt these cycles in real time
  
  
• Why prioritizing yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential
  
  
• A simple shift that can help you build real, sustainable success
  
  

You can be the badass, goal-getting woman and deeply care for yourself. It’s not either/or—it’s both.

If this conversation hits home, LauraAura invites you into Auralign—a 6-month high-level coaching experience for ambitious women ready to stop spiraling, trust their inner voice, and take bold, aligned action.
