E26. Let It Be Easy: Choose the Temporary Hard That Frees You with LauraAura
Send Marti a text message HERE!
Welcome back to The Rebel Maker podcast. In today’s episode, I have with me my business bestie of 16+ years and one of the bravest people I know, LauraAura.
Laura is a vibrant speaker, coach, author-in-the-making, and host of The Gutsy Podcast, a Top 100 Podcast, and all-around visionary. She is an Alignment Coach for driven women, guiding them to learn how to honor their energy and truly listen to what they want instead of what they’ve been taught they should.
She’ll be the first person to push you out of your comfort zone and the last to hug you as you head to the next level of your life. And that’s what she brings to the table today.
Get ready for an episode that’s real and raw, that goes really deep, really fast, but that also might just get you to finally start prioritizing what you really want and need.

Noteworthy quote from this episode:
“At this point, I am the only one stopping me. And [...] I work primarily with women, a lot of female entrepreneurs, the #1 thing that stops women from moving forward is themselves.”
