About

Getting stuck is a natural human tendency. It happens to all of us. We get stuck on kinds of emotions (anger, frustration, disappointment, resentment, guilt, and shame, and more). The list is endless. But, staying stuck is a choice. You don't have to live your life from one stuck moment to the next. Learn how to Get Unstuck so you can Live Deliberately with Shira Gura, Emotional well-being coach.

How to Live Deliberately
Everyone wants to live a life of purpose and intention, but only some people succeed. What is the secret? In this engaging and interactive talk you will learn the blueprint for how to live deliberately, beginning with identifying what it is you want to create, determining who do you need to be to manifest that, and using Shira Gura's two ground-breaking self-help tools to guide you along the way.
2
Living Deliberately in Marriage (Shalom Bayit)
Being human is hard. Each of us has to navigate through life with our own personal histories, challenges, and triggers. It only makes sense that married life is even more difficult. Get inspired by Shira Gura's Living Deliberately framework that guides couples to take full responsibility for their ways of being so they can together create the relationship of which they both want to take part.

In this talk, Shira Gura will teach you The unSTUCK Method, a simple, yet powerful tool to help you get unSTUCK from any emotionally challenging situation.
4

Do you always feel confident before entering a work meeting, a doctor’s appointment, a family event, or preparing for a difficult conversation?
