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

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

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

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

While I'm on vacation visiting my family, I will be taking a deliberate pause from the podcast. I look forward to returning in September.

This week's episode is about one of my students who was traveling to a retreat I was leading when her train hit someone and all service stopped, leaving her stranded hours away while everyone else was gathering for dinner. Instead of panicking or falling apart, she used the tools we practice to stay calm and handle each unexpected challenge with grace. Listen to her incredible story of transformation - and how she chose to show up as her best self in a completely overwhelming situation. www.shiragura.com

I'm about to lead a 3-day challenge called "React Less, Feel Better" - and yesterday I completely lost it with my kid over a car incident. Talk about ironic timing! I was shocked by my own reaction, but here's what I learned about why we react differently to new situations versus familiar triggers. And here's why your "failures" are actually learning opportunities. Click here to join the Challenge.

Ever had someone give you a horrified look that made you instantly feel like a terrible person? That happened to me recently. Listen to how I caught myself mid-spiral and got myself "unstuck" from that situation so that I could feel better and move on. And how you can do the same. Learn more: www.shiragura.com

Have you ever had the experience where someone points out something you are doing wrong? What's your first instinct? Get defensive? Get mad? Shut down? What if you could handle criticism with total grace instead? Listen to how my student Sara turned a potentially awkward moment into pure growth. www.shiragura.com

In this episode, I share a real-life story from just last night that perfectly demonstrates The unSTUCK Method in action. When my husband and daughter got into an unnecessary argument right in front of me, I had a choice: jump in and "fix" it like I used to (which always led to bigger fights), or use what I teach. I'll walk you through exactly how I noticed my own stuck emotions, paused instead of reacting, and completely avoided the drama that would have followed. This is what's possible when you transform those tiny moments – building not just better relationships, but your own self-trust and resilience. Plus, I'll share the one question that might change everything in your relationships today. To learn more, head over to: www.shiragura.com

This week, I'm sharing a personal story—and two from my students—about breaking the pattern of emotional eating, one moment at a time. Inside my You Can Handle Anything program, we've been exploring how emotional habits form and how even small shifts can create powerful change. You'll hear how awareness in the moment opens the door to choice, and how using The unSTUCK Method can help you interrupt old patterns and choose differently. It's just about 10 minutes—perfect for a mindful moment between meals or anytime you need a reset. www.shiragura.com

In this light and relatable episode, I share a real-life story about a board game night gone sideways—and how one small comment could have easily spiraled into conflict. Instead, I used The unSTUCK Method to pause, shift perspective, and remind myself what really matters. It's a simple story with a powerful message: not everything needs to turn into drama. Sometimes, peace comes from choosing not to be right. It's a short episode—perfect for a short reset or a mindful moment in your day. Learn more by heading over to www.shiragura.com

In this special return episode, I share why I took a 3-month pause from the podcast—after nearly 8 years of showing up weekly—and what that deliberate break revealed. We explore the power of stopping as the first essential step toward real change, and why most of us skip it without realizing. I open up about how this pause helped me gain clarity, make meaningful updates to my work, and align more deeply with how I want to serve you. Tune in to hear what's new, what's coming, and why learning to pause might be the most powerful thing you can do for yourself. www.shiragura.com

I've been "stuck" wondering what to do to celebrate the 400th episode of this podcast. I'm glad I got unstuck. Enjoy.
