    417: Why I Renamed the Podcast (Again) — And What This Shift Really Means

    In this episode, I share the story behind the latest evolution of her podcast name—and the deeper transformation driving the change. From Getting unSTUCK to Emotionally Equipped, to Living Deliberately, to You Can Handle Anything, and now to simply my own name, I reflect on how her work has grown alongside her. What began as teaching a 5-step framework to handle difficult moments has evolved into a deeper, more grounded understanding of growth, identity, and living on purpose. Rather than chasing the "perfect" title, I am embracing the courage to evolve publicly, modeling what I teach: pause, reflect, and move forward without fear of "failing." This episode is an invitation to grow boldly, imperfectly, and deliberately—together. To learn more: www.shiragura.com

    When You Fall Off Your Path, This Is What You Need to Know

    This week, I noticed a common theme across all my programs: students committing to change, then falling off track and spiraling into shame, guilt, and regret. When you snap at someone, break a commitment, or act against your values, it feels black and white – like you've failed and there's no hope. But here's what most people miss: falling off your path isn't an obstacle, it's an opportunity. In this episode, I share why uncovering the hidden thought that caused your behavior is the real game-changer, and how using The unSTUCK Method to find that "piece of gold" is what actually creates lasting change in your life.

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

    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

    413: How to Handle Disappointment in Someone Else's Behavior (When It Has Nothing to Do With You)

    Ever watched someone else mess up and felt the urge to jump in and fix it - even though it had nothing to do with you? In this episode, I share a real story about my husband being late and disappointing our son, and how I almost made their conflict MY problem. You'll hear exactly how I used the unSTUCK Method in real-time to stay out of the Reactivity Loop and respond in a way I was proud of - without the struggle. If you've ever felt responsible for fixing other people's mistakes or managing their relationships, this one's for you. To learn more: 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

  8. When a Little Thing Becomes a Big Deal

    When a Little Thing Becomes a Big Deal

    In this episode, I share a real-life story about how a small disagreement with my husband over moving the car turned into a surprisingly emotional moment. What could have easily led to resentment or conflict became an opportunity to pause, reflect, and get unSTUCK using the method I teach. You'll hear how a simple voice message shifted the dynamic and created space for understanding, connection, and repair. This story is a powerful reminder that it's not about the car—it's about how we choose to show up when things don't go our way. It's just about 10 minutes—perfect for a quick reset and real-life inspiration. www.shiragura.com
