The Gutsy Podcast | Mindset, Personal Development & Entrepreneurship for Women

Every single person I work with comes to me because I said the thing they needed to hear. I called it for what it was and helped them find the solution to finally fix it.
Today I'm handing you four unfiltered things I've said to my clients that ended up growing their business: slow the fuck down, get rid of an offer, ditch the framework, and talk like you, not your old boss. 
I'm not going to pretend any of this is comfortable to hear. It wasn't easy for me to learn how to say these things out loud either, and it's not always easy to receive them. But if you've been busting your ass and still feel like something's missing, or you've got momentum but it feels heavy and off, that's your sign. 
Let this be the episode that gets you out of your own way, so you can take your Powerback® and finally build the business you want to be building.
We’ll go through:
Why slowing the fuck down is the fastest way to actually speed things up
The offer you're holding onto that needs to go
Why frameworks are textbooks to learn from, not blueprints to follow
Talking like you instead of your old boss

There are seasons in life when everything looks fine, but doesn’t feel quite right. It's not that you're ungrateful or that anything's necessarily wrong, but something inside of you keeps saying there's more. 
Today's guest, Katie Pulsifer, is a master certified life coach and creator of the Golden Coaching Certification. With over 13 years of experience, Katie has trained thousands of coaches and guided high-achieving women out of overwhelm and people pleasing and into clarity, self-trust, and purpose. 
We're talking about that ache for more, why so many women feel stuck even when life looks good on the outside, and how we've gotten so practiced at knowing what everyone else needs that we've lost touch with what we want. 
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The ache for more and what it actually feels like
Signs you're stuck even when life looks good on paper
The guilt passed down through generations
Questioning what you've always considered "normal"
Katie's own story of rebuilding a life that reflects who she actually is
Reclaiming self-trust, your voice, and your purpose

If you want to take your business to the next level, you have got to give yourself space to do it. 
Your routine is set in stone, but maybe you have a new idea, trying to grow through the cracks like a little weed, saying, “hey, look at me!”
I'm in this with you in real time. I've been wanting to write a book for a decade, and this year I finally had to get honest about where all of my creative energy was going, and make room to pour into the book instead. 
That's also why the Gutsy Podcast cadence is changing: we're moving from two episodes a week to one, alternating a guest episode and a Powerback®. It's the same evaluation I walk women through inside Auralign — protecting a sleep schedule, blocking off a CEO day, letting go of commitments that no longer serve.
It's going to feel a little bumpy at first, and you're going to have to hold your new priority sacred and say no to the stuff that used to fill that space. But once you give yourself the room to go deep, the clarity starts pouring in, and that's exactly why it's time to take your Powerback® and start making the space your next level is waiting for.
We'll go through:
Why cramming your creation time in between meetings keeps your next-level idea stuck
How to evaluate where your time, energy, and creation are actually going
Real examples from women inside Auralign making space for their next level
Why the Gutsy Podcast cadence is changing (and what that means going forward)
The mindset shift it takes to hold your new priority sacred

Do you ever look around at the life you built and think, wait, is this it? Maybe the kids are growing up, your career doesn't fit anymore, your business is evolving, or your relationships are changing. Or maybe you just have this quiet feeling that the version of you who built this life is not the same woman who's meant to build the next chapter. 
Sometimes this gets labeled as a midlife crisis, but what if it's actually just an invitation to do things your own way?
Today's guest, Wendy Valentine, believes that midlife isn't a crisis at all. It's a catalyst. After navigating divorce, menopause, job loss, debt, an empty nest, and a devastating personal loss all at once, she found herself on the bathroom floor, wondering how she would ever rebuild her life. What happened next completely changed the way that she saw herself and what's possible.
In this episode:
Why midlife isn't a crisis but a catalyst
Wendy's story: divorce, menopause, job loss, debt, an empty nest, and a devastating loss, all at once
Grieving the versions of yourself you've outgrown
Identity, reinvention, and self-trust
Letting go of who you thought you had to be
Trusting yourself without having all the answers

You've thought about it long enough, and it's time to make a decision. But right before you make your move, your brain kicks in and turns something simple into something that feels 10,000 times more complicated. 
The problem is you're going outside of yourself for permission, asking everyone and their sisters, brothers, neighbors, and dogs what they think, gathering up opinions like Pokémon cards, until you don't know which end is up anymore. 
Better decisions only come from an internal agreement with yourself. In this Powerback®, I'm walking you through three ways to make better decisions, faster, so you can make gutsy moves you didn't even know you were capable of. 
We’ll go through:
Getting clear on what you actually want (and what you don't)
Why waiting until the emotion passes leads to better decisions
Learning to trust your body's unfiltered truth over your brain's noise
