You Can Handle Anything with Shira Gura

Have you ever had the experience where someone points out something you are doing wrong?

What's your first instinct?

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 t...

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.

Ever notice how you react differently to the same behavior depending on who's doing it?

Through a simple morning wake-up call, I discovered why I was ready to blame my husband for something my kid did—and what that reveals about our triggers.

This month on the You Can Handle Anything podcast, we're diving into the emotion of guilt—where it shows up, how it impacts us, and how to get unstuck from it. In this week's episode, I share two personal stories where guilt showed up in different ways: one self-imposed and the other triggered by someone else's comment. You'll hear how I used The unS.T.U.C.K. Method® to shift my perspective and move forward with clarity and confide...

This week's episode kicks off 2025 with a timely discussion about letting go of guilt.

After taking a short break from the podcast in December, I share my personal experience with guilt and reflect on how it can weigh us down when we let it linger.

Guilt isn't about what happened but what we think about what happened, and shifting our perspective can help us release it.

Tune in to explore how to approach guilt with kindness and set...
