There's a lot of power in doing this work with the people you love. There is nothing like speaking a common language with them, and by that, I don't mean your mother tongue. I mean the language of getting unstuck. This week, my husband surprised me by modeling getting unstuck and he also inspired me to do the work I knew I needed to do. Want to get Emotionally Equipped?

There's nothing worse than living with regret. All of us have done things, said things, or acted in ways in the past that we wish we hadn't. But, living in regret doesn't help one bit. I got stuck on regret this week and in this week's podcast episode, I share that story with you and how I got unstuck from it in hopes that it will inspire you in your life to do the same.

When you go on vacation, you most likely anticipate having a great time. But, what if things don't go as planned? Before heading to the New Jersey shore with my family, my husband and I got CLEAR so that we could avoid getting disappointed on something we got stuck on in the past. Tune in to this week's episode to hear that story and to learn how you can get CLEAR in your life, too. www.shiragura.com

If you are feeling stuck, there's a good chance you are standing in judgment: whether that's judging yourself, judging someone else, or judging something. When you can learn to practice radical acceptance, you can learn how to move from a sticky and uncomfortable situation to a better and more beneficial place. Tune in to this week's episode to hear my story and how I got unstuck from judging my mother. www.shiragura.com

Have you ever felt like you totally messed up? I'm sure you have. It happens to all of us. When this happens, most people feel awful about themselves and don't know what to do to just feel better. In today's podcast episode, I share how this recently happened to me and I walk you through how I got unstuck from it. Tune in to hear more. www.shiragura.com

It's quite easy to get stuck when you're on vacation. And it's even easier to get stuck when you're visiting family. I got stuck this week with an interaction I had with my mother (who graciously gave me permission to share the story on this week's episode). Tune in to hear the story and how I got unstuck by giving her the benefit of the doubt. www.shiragura.com

I had the privilege to interview Krista Luzio on this week's podcast. Krista Luzio lives in Chicago and has been practicing law as a medical malpractice defense lawyer for the past 13 years. She is a mother of two younger children, is a writer, artist, and musician. Krista found me via this podcast and contacted me soon after she learned about her husband’s infidelity. Learn more about Krista's story, how she has learned to navigate the challenging and surprising situations that have shown up in her life, and how she has changed and grown after becoming Emotionally Equipped. Even if Krista’s situation and stories are not exactly what yours look like, I do believe you will be able to find yourself in her stories and I believe she will inspire you, just like she has and continues to inspire me.  www.shiragura.com

A few days ago I visited two young men who were brutally attacked during a senseless and heinous hate crime. There were family, friends, and community members at this gathering to show support for these young men. At one point, there was a request for everyone present to introduce themselves, share where they were from and anything else they would like to add. This is where I started to get stuck. Tune in to hear how I got myself unstuck and the positive result that followed after. Learn more at: www.shiragura.com

This week, I continue on with the story I began last week. Now only will you hear how I got CLEAR so I was able to move forward, you will hear a sincere apology to my husband. Getting unSTUCK and Getting CLEAR is never about putting someone else down in order to make you look good. But in last week's episode, I am afraid I missed my intention and so I publicly share that process with you as well. www.shiragura.com

This week I'd like to share with you a story about my garden. Or, shall I say, a garden project that I wanted to create. But, the truth of the matter is, the story has little to do with the garden and has almost everything to do with my relationship with my husband. The situation didn't go as I would have liked it and in this week's episode I share with you how I got unstuck. www.shiragura.com

Tune in to this week's episode where I interview Ayelet Kagan. Ayelet is a 28-year-old woman originally from Israel and has been living in Germany for the past few years studying and performing opera. She recently enrolled in The 6-week Emotionally Equipped Journey. In this interview, she shares her experiences about the Journey specifically related to the impact it had on her mental health. www.shiragura.com

Setting boundaries is an essential tool for living the life you want to live. Setting boundaries is something you do for yourself as a way of protecting yourself. Boundaries are not about controlling another person and they are not meant to be created as a way to manipulate other people. They are about setting clear limits so others know where you stand on things. Tune in to this week's podcast episode to learn more. www.shiragura.com

Have you ever been in a situation where someone is disrespecting you?  What do you do? How do you act? Tune in to this week's Emotionally Equipped for Life podcast to learn more. www.shiragura.com

For whatever reason, it is often easier to commit to other people than it is to commit to ourselves. We get stuck in lots of thoughts and emotions (it's not important, missing it for one day is no big deal, no one will notice, etc.) which not only leads us to inaction, it leads us to not fully respecting ourselves. Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about how you can create more self-respect in your life. www.shiragura.com

After the recent war, the Muslim woman from the village down the road from the community where I live requested a gathering. Women only. To meet one another. To emote. To share from our hearts. To find commonalities. And to simply start a dialogue of peace. Those of us present believed there is no other way. At that meeting I got stuck on shame and embarrassment, but got unSTUCK when I made an important decision. Tune into to hear more.

Do you know what you need to be to go from "non-runner" to "runner" to "national champion"? You need to be emotionally equipped!

We are given opportunities to appreciate every day. We often think the only things we should appreciate are the things we are grateful for. And yet, we can also learn to appreciate the things we may not necessarily grateful for at first glance. Because even in those places (and sometimes especially in those places) exist the most opportunities for growth and learning – and therefore, can be things we learn to value and appreciate. Tune in to this week's podcast to learn more about where you can create pockets of appreciation in your life. 

This month, I invite you to practice being appreciative. At the latest gathering of the Emotionally Equipped Circle, one of the participants asked me if there is a difference between practicing gratitude and practicing appreciation. Tune in to this week's podcast episode to hear my response and to explore where you may want to challenge yourself to practice being more appreciative in your life this month. www.shiragura.com
