I wanted to share something unexpected that happened just a few hours ago while recording this week’s episode of the “You Can Handle Anything” podcast.

The theme of today’s episode was drama, and life certainly delivered.

As I was recording, Iran began launching ballistic missiles at Israel, triggering sirens that sent us rushing to our safe rooms. In the rush, I dropped the mic but forgot to pause the recording. When it was safe to return, I discovered the recording was still running. I’ve decided to keep this part in the episode to keep things authentic and real.

Please be aware that you’ll hear this interruption around minute 7 or 8 of the episode. I share this not only to prepare you but to reflect on how crucial it is for us to manage our responses, especially in unexpected and challenging times.

Wishing us all peace and safety, and the strength to get unstuck, even in the toughest moments.

Love, Shira

P.S. Imagine how much better our world could be if everyone knew how to use the tools to handle anything life throws our way.
