Do you ever feel like you’re just one step away from making a bold move, but something’s holding you back? Maybe it's fear, doubt, or the overwhelming thought that you're not quite ready yet. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. In this episode of The Ready Enough Podcast, I sat down with the amazing LauraAura, a keynote speaker, mindset coach, and host of The Gutsy Podcast, to talk about how to break free from that stuck feeling and start making gutsy moves toward your dreams—no matter where you are in your journey.
If you’ve ever felt that inner pull toward something greater but held back due to fear or doubt, this episode is exactly what you need to hear. Here are the key takeaways from my conversation with Laura that will inspire you to stop waiting and start taking action toward your goals, even when the path isn’t perfectly clear.
1. Fear is Normal—But You Can’t Let It Hold You Back
One of the biggest roadblocks to making bold moves is fear. Laura shared how she faced intense fear when transitioning from running a successful agency for 17 years to pursuing her true passion as a full-time speaker. She admitted that fear didn’t magically disappear—it was there every step of the way. But, here’s the thing: she didn’t let it stop her.
Takeaway: If you’re waiting for the fear to go away before you make a move, you’ll be waiting forever. Fear is just a signal that you’re stepping into new territory. Acknowledge it, but don’t let it dictate your decisions.
2. Clarity is the Key to Getting Unstuck
How many times have you felt completely stuck, unsure of what step to take next? I know I’ve been there. According to Laura, clarity is the ultimate game-changer. When you’re clear on what you want, everything else falls into place. But getting clear requires taking a step back and asking yourself the tough question: What do I truly want?
Takeaway: Take time to reflect on what lights you up and gives you energy. When you get clear on your desires, you’ll stop spinning your wheels and start moving with purpose.
3. Gutsy Moves Don’t Always Have to Be Big—Start Small
Making gutsy moves doesn’t always mean quitting your job or uprooting your entire life. Sometimes, a “gutsy” move can be something as simple as trusting your instincts, making a bold decision, or changing your perspective. Laura explained how small, consistent actions add up and create momentum—leading to bigger, life-changing shifts.
Takeaway: It’s not always about making giant leaps—it’s about making small, intentional steps that align with your goals. Start where you are and build from there.
4. Mindset Shifts Are a Must for Long-Term Success
One of the most powerful insights from our conversation was about mindset. Laura shared how a shift in her thinking—believing that she didn’t need to have all the answers—allowed her to make the leap into speaking full-time. She also talked about overcoming the mind junk, the inner dialogue that can hold us back. The truth is, we all have that voice that tells us we’re not enough, not ready, or not capable. But the moment you learn to shut it down and trust yourself, everything changes.
Takeaway: Don’t wait for everything to be perfect before you take action. Acknowledge your doubts, but take action anyway. Trust that you have what it takes, even without all the answers.
5. Celebrate Every Step—No Matter How Small
We tend to rush through life and forget to celebrate the small wins. Laura emphasized how important it is to honor every step of your journey, no matter how tiny it may seem. Celebrating these small victories helps you build momentum and reinforces the belief that you’re on the right path.
Takeaway: Take time to celebrate your progress. Whether it’s sending that email, speaking up in a meeting, or taking that first scary step—each moment matters. Celebrate it, and use it as fuel to keep going.
6. Gutsy Moves Are About Taking Action, Even When You Don’t Feel Ready
We wrapped up our conversation talking about the importance of action. Laura reminded me—and now I’m reminding you—that you don’t have to wait until you feel 100% ready to take that next step. Action is what creates clarity and confidence.
Takeaway: If you wait for the perfect moment, you’ll be waiting forever. Take one small action today, and the next step will reveal itself.
