    How to Make a Decision When Your Mind Won't Let You

    Have you ever needed to make a decision, but your mind simply won't let you? You go back and forth, that little voice keeps saying "wait, what if..." and you end up paralyzed, not making any decision at all. In this episode, I share a real conversation with one of my students who was struggling with her retirement decision - but this isn't really about retirement. It's about understanding why your brain does this (hint: it's trying to protect you), and how to work WITH your mind instead of fighting against it so you can finally make decisions with confidence.

    How to Handle When Things Fall Apart

    Not every challenge we face involves other people pushing our buttons.  Sometimes things just fall apart - like when technical issues derailed my 3-day challenge that over 1,000 people signed up for. In this episode, I share how I used The unSTUCK Method multiple times to move through frustration and disappointment, and how it helped me respond with calm, clarity, and creative solutions instead of breaking down. This is a reminder that this method works for ANY difficult situation you face - whether it's with others, yourself, or just life throwing you curveballs. Get started here: www.shiragura.com

    How to Handle Failure Without Getting Stuck in Shame

    In this episode, I share a recent failure I experienced - one that left me feeling embarrassed, guilty, and stuck in a cycle of shame. I talk about what happened when I published my book "A Consideration a Day," realized it wasn't what I wanted it to be, and then caught myself avoiding this very podcast for weeks because I didn't want to admit my mistake. But here's what changed everything: I walked myself through The unSTUCK Method and chose to get unstuck from the Reactivity Loop instead of staying stuck in it. If you've ever failed at something and found yourself spiraling into negative self-talk, hiding, or taking on guilt that doesn't serve you - this episode is for you. Listen to hear how I moved from stuck to unstuck, and how you can too. Sign up for the upcoming 3-Day Challenge: www.shiragura.com
