A Really Good Cry

Do you ever look in the mirror and immediately start criticizing your body? What if the problem isn’t your body—but the way you’ve learned to talk to it? And what if confidence has less to do with changing how you look, and more to do with changing how you think?   In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi opens up an honest, deeply personal conversation about body image, self-criticism, and the exhausting pressure to look a certain way. From childhood comments that linger for decades to the daily habit of body-shaming ourselves without even noticing, Radhi explores why so many women feel disconnected from their bodies—and how to begin healing that relationship with compassion instead of control.    In this episode, you’ll learn: Why most body insecurities aren’t actually yours to begin with The difference between caring for your body and obsessing over it How constant self-criticism keeps you stuck in a cycle of dissatisfaction Why confidence is an energy, not a body type Practical mindset shifts to stop attacking your body and start respecting it This isn’t about forcing body positivity or loving every inch of yourself overnight—it’s about ending the inner war, reclaiming peace, and remembering that your body is the least interesting thing about you.   Follow Radhi: https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWe9A4kMf9V_AHOXkGhCzQ https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/ https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevlukiaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever wondered why you feel like a different version of yourself each week? What if your hormones weren’t a problem—but a powerful built-in guidance system? Could learning your body’s rhythm radically transform your energy, mood, and health? And what if everything you were taught to fear about your cycle… was simply wrong?   In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with Alisa Vitti—hormone expert, cycle-syncing pioneer, and bestselling author of In The Flow. Together, they unearth the truth every woman deserves to know: your body isn’t working against you… it’s speaking to you.   Alisa breaks down the powerful—and widely overlooked—Infradian Rhythm, the second biological clock that governs a woman’s metabolism, stress response, brain function, immune health, and emotional rhythm. She explains why so many women today struggle with hormonal issues and how simple, intuitive shifts in food, movement, sleep, and mindset can completely transform your cycle.   From the science of each phase, to why cramps aren’t normal, to understanding why strength training, nourishment, and rest should shift throughout the month—this episode is a masterclass in reconnecting with your body’s design rather than fighting it.   In this episode, you’ll learn:   What the Infradian Rhythm is—and why every woman needs to understand it How cycle syncing can eliminate cramps, mood swings, fatigue & PMS  Why women must eat, train, and rest differently in each phase The surprising hormone that declines first—and quietly triggers perimenopause How melatonin, oxytocin & nitric oxide support women at every age Why feminine energy is a biological need, not an aesthetic What to avoid (like whey protein & inflammatory oils) for better hormonal balance How pleasure practices can extend ovulation and ease menopause Why celebrating your period can literally change your experience of it   This is your reminder that your body is not confusing, inconvenient, or unpredictable. It’s intelligent. It’s cyclical. It’s powerful. And it’s yours.   Try Cycle Syncing®️ for FREE!

Are you constantly feeling on edge, rushed, or overstimulated? What if your nervous system isn’t broken—but simply overloaded? And what if the way to calm your mind isn’t through willpower, but through signaling safety to your body? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia guides listeners through how to reset the nervous system and move from fight-or-flight chaos to grounded calm. Drawing on science, Ayurveda, and daily rituals, Radhi shares simple, practical tools you can start using before 9 a.m. to regulate your body, reduce stress, and reclaim clarity. In this episode, you’ll learn: The three nervous system states and how they show up in your life How overstimulation impacts your mind, body, and energy Radhi’s “9 Before 9” routine to signal safety to your body Breathwork, humming, grounding, and oil massage practices for nervous system recovery How to recover faster from stress and navigate your day with calm and clarity This isn’t about living in permanent zen—it’s about moving through life with less chaos and more ease.   Follow Radhi: https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWe9A4kMf9V_AHOXkGhCzQ https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/ https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevlukiaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Who are you when the thing that defined you is taken away? What happens when the life you planned no longer exists? How do you grieve a future that never happened? Can uncertainty become a place of growth instead of fear?   In this deeply moving episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with cognitive scientist and author Dr. Maya Shankar for an honest conversation about identity, loss, and navigating life’s most unexpected transitions. Dr. Maya is the author of The Other Side of Change: Who We Become When Life Makes Other Plans, a book rooted in both science and lived experience.   Maya shares the story of her childhood as a violin prodigy — accepted into Juilliard at nine and studying under Itzhak Perlman — until a career-ending injury at fifteen forced her to grieve not just the violin, but the version of herself she thought she would be. She opens up about how losing the violin meant losing her confidence, her identity, and the future she had built her entire life around.   She also speaks candidly about her fertility journey, including miscarriage, surrogacy, and the realization that some desires are shaped by cultural expectations of womanhood. Maya reflects on how choosing to pause her path to motherhood brought unexpected peace and clarity.   Radhi shares her own experiences of identity loss — from moving to New York and no longer being able to practice as a clinical dietitian, to navigating grief after the peaceful passing of her grandmother. Together, they explore how identity can unravel when the “what” of our lives changes, and why anchoring ourselves in why we do things allows us to evolve without losing ourselves.   In this episode, you’ll learn: Why identity rooted in roles and achievements is fragile How grief shows up when we lose a future we imagined The difference between what you do and why you do it Why humans crave certainty — and how to live without it How to find safety in community instead of clear answers What the “end of history illusion” reveals about personal growth How mental time travel can help ease anxiety and fear Why witnessing human goodness can restore hope and meaning   This episode is a gentle reminder that change doesn’t mean something went wrong — sometimes it means life is asking you to become more than you planned.

What if starting something new isn’t the real challenge—but finishing it is? Why do so many projects, goals, and ideas die in the “messy middle”? What if completing a task isn’t just about willpower, but about shifting who you are at a deeper level? Are you a person who loves beginnings but avoids endings—or could you train yourself to finish with ease? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia explores the gap between starting and finishing. Drawing from science, Ayurveda, and her own life, she explains why our brains crave novelty but resist follow-through—and how to move from the dopamine rush of beginnings to the serotonin stability of completion. Through honesty, practical tools, and gentle insight, Radhi guides listeners to shift identity, build momentum, and cultivate the discipline needed to see projects through—all while learning to celebrate small wins along the way. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why starting is easy but finishing is hard—and how your brain tricks you How to turn “too many open drawers” into actionable focus Tools to create micro-finish lines and train your boredom muscle How to shift from being a “starter” to a “finisher” Ways to make progress sustainable, consistent, and personally rewarding This isn’t about working harder—it’s about finishing smarter.   Follow Radhi: https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWe9A4kMf9V_AHOXkGhCzQ https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/ https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevlukiaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if your skin isn’t the problem—but the messenger? Could breakouts, hormonal imbalances, and low confidence all trace back to the same root cause? And what if healing your skin wasn’t about adding more products—but understanding your body’s signals?   In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with Clearstem co-founders Danielle Gronich and Kayleigh Christina for an eye-opening conversation on how to truly heal acne from the inside out. Danielle shares her years-long struggle with cystic acne and the frustration of endless prescriptions that never worked, while Kayleigh opens up about the emotional toll of post-birth-control breakouts that left her hiding from the world.   Together, they unpack the deeper connection between hormones, gut health, and skin—and why “clean” doesn’t always mean “acne-safe.” They also dive into how stress, sleep, diet, and hidden ingredients in skincare (and even haircare) can trigger breakouts—and the small, sustainable changes that can make a big difference.   In this episode, you’ll learn:   The truth about birth control, antibiotics, and what they do to your hormones Why exfoliation isn’t optional—and how to do it right The most common pore-clogging ingredients hiding in your skincare and makeup How to support your body’s detox and hormone balance naturally The foods and supplements that may secretly be sabotaging your skin Why healing acne starts with awareness, not perfection   If you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, this episode is your reminder: your skin isn’t the enemy—it’s your body asking you to listen.   Follow Clearstem: https://clearstem.com/ https://www.instagram.com/clearstemskincare https://www.facebook.com/clearstemskincare/ https://www.tiktok.com/@clearstemskincare https://www.pinterest.com/clearstemskincare/   Follow Danielle: https://www.instagram.com/danielle.the.acne.guru/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniellegronich   Follow Kayleigh: https://www.instagram.com/kayleigh.christina/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/kayleigh-christina   Follow Radhi: https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWe9A4kMf9V_AHOXkGhCzQ https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/ https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevlukia See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the answers you're searching for have been inside you all along? How often do you hand your power to others without even noticing? And could your biggest struggles be invitations to finally see yourself clearly?   In this deeply honest Q&A episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi opens up like never before, responding to your most personal questions—from love and friendship to purpose, comparison, creativity, and healing. Filled with humor, vulnerability, and striking self-awareness, Radhi shares the lessons she’s learned the hard way and the ones she’s still learning now.   She talks about the lifelong pattern of believing others knew better than she did, how she finds calm and balance in her marriage, why friendship breakups can hurt more than romantic ones, and what it really looks like to find motivation as a creator and business owner.   Radhi also gets real about comparison, jealousy, burnout, emotional eating, and self-sabotage—offering not polished perfection, but raw truth and lived experience. Through it all, she reminds us that growth isn’t linear, emotions aren’t weaknesses, and you can rewrite the way you see yourself at any time.   In this episode, you’ll learn: Why trusting yourself is one of the hardest—and most transformative—skills to build How to stay an individual while loving someone deeply Why friendship breakups can be necessary for growth What creative blocks really mean and how to move through them How comparison can actually reveal what you truly want Why self-love requires evidence, not affirmations How to recognize and interrupt cycles of self-sabotage What it means to carry the people you’ve lost into who you become   This episode is a reminder that you're not alone in your questions, your doubts, or your messy middle.   It’s not about having it all figured out—it’s about learning to notice your life, honor your emotions, and trust that you're becoming the person you’re meant to be.

What actually changes when you understand the blueprint you were born with? Why do certain patterns repeat? Why do some seasons feel heavy, and others open? And can astrology really give clarity without taking away your free will?   In this episode, Radhi sits down with The AstroTwins, Ophira and Tali Edut, for a grounded, eye-opening conversation about astrology as a tool for self-understanding, timing, purpose, and relationships. They break down the basics in a way that finally makes sense — from the Sun, Moon, and Rising signs to the North and South Nodes, planetary cycles, and what a birth chart actually shows about your inner world.   The twins share how they discovered astrology in college, how being four minutes apart created subtle differences in their charts, and why no one has a “perfect” or “lucky” chart. They explain why astrology shouldn’t be treated as a rulebook, how to avoid becoming dependent on predictions, and why free will matters just as much as the stars.   They also explore love and compatibility, what Mercury retrograde is actually about, and why 2026 will bring a major collective reset as Saturn and Neptune meet at zero degrees Aries.   In this episode, you’ll learn: What your birth chart reveals beyond your zodiac sign The role of your Sun, Moon, and Rising — and which one people feel the most How the North & South Nodes point to purpose, patterns, and growth Why timing matters: Jupiter return, Saturn return, retrogrades, and yearly cycles How to use astrology without letting it control your decisions What really makes two people compatible (and why “hard” relationships can be meaningful) The difference between Western and Vedic astrology What the AstroTwins predict for 2026 — and why it’s a year of new beginnings   This episode is a clear, refreshing reminder that astrology isn’t about telling you who you are — it’s about helping you understand yourself better. When you know the patterns, the timing, and the possibilities, you can make choices with more confidence, clarity, and intention.   Follow The AstroTwins:  https://astrostyle.com/ https://www.instagram.com/astrotwins/ https://www.youtube.com/@astrotwins-tv Follow Radhi: https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWe9A4kMf9V_AHOXkGhCzQ https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/ https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevlukiaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Could the pain you feel actually be wisdom waiting to unfold? How often do your expectations write a story your reality can’t live up to? Could disappointment be your teacher, not your enemy?   In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia dives deep into the emotion we all try to avoid—disappointment.   She explores why this feeling cuts so deep, describing it as the space between expectation and reality—a form of grief for what could have been. Drawing from her own reflections, Radhi reveals how disappointment often says more about our assumptions than the situation itself.   Instead, Radhi invites listeners to find peace in the middle ground: To feel the emotion fully, take ownership of their response, and reframe disappointment as tuition—the price we pay for wisdom. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why disappointment may be a form of grief, not failure How perfectionism and shrinking dreams both come from fear Why effort doesn’t always equal outcome—and that’s okay How to reframe disappointment as tuition, not tragedy Why feeling your emotions fully gives them less power How to stop outsourcing your peace to other people or results   You’ll learn how to stop outsourcing your peace, communicate with compassion, and find meaning in moments that didn’t go as planned. This isn’t about pretending everything’s fine—it’s about trusting that you can handle what is.   Follow Radhi: https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWe9A4kMf9V_AHOXkGhCzQ https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/ https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevlukiaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the person you’ve become is still carrying the pain of who you once were? Could the patterns you can’t seem to break—disconnection, fear, self-doubt—be echoes of an unsafe childhood? And what if healing isn’t about fixing the past, but teaching your body that it’s safe now?   In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with Anna Runkle, the creator of Crappy Childhood Fairy, for a powerful and compassionate conversation on how early emotional wounds shape the way we connect, love, and live as adults.   Anna shares her journey of growing up in chaos, learning to recognize the lasting effects of trauma, and discovering the tools to calm her dysregulated nervous system. Together, Radhi and Anna explore the deep link between childhood pain and adult disconnection—and how learning to regulate your body can transform how you experience love, safety, and belonging.   They unpack why traditional talk therapy doesn’t always reach the root of trauma, how emotional neglect can manifest as anxiety and isolation, and the small daily practices that help rebuild connection from the inside out. This isn’t just a conversation about childhood—it’s about learning to feel safe in your own body again.   In this episode, you’ll learn:   What emotional dysregulation really is—and how to recognize it in yourself How early trauma impacts the nervous system and adult relationships Why connection can feel uncomfortable after an unsafe childhood Practical tools to regulate your emotions and calm your body How writing and self-reflection can help rewire your brain for safety Why healing starts with awareness, not blame   If you’ve ever felt stuck in old patterns, distant from yourself, or unsure how to feel safe with others, this episode is your reminder: your body remembers—but it can also relearn.   Follow Anna: https://crappychildhoodfairy.com/ https://www.youtube.com/CrappyChildhoodFairy https://www.instagram.com/crappychildhoodfairy/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/anna-runkle-baa9778   Follow Radhi: https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWe9A4kMf9V_AHOXkGhCzQ https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/ https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevlukia See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if Sunday wasn’t the end of your week—but the beginning of a better one? Could a few intentional hours on Sunday change how you feel all week long? What if rest and preparation—not productivity—were the secret to peace? How much lighter would your week feel if you stopped chasing and started preparing? And what if loving your week simply started with loving your Sunday?   In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia shares her Sunday Reset routine—a gentle ritual that helps her move from dread to calm, from chaos to clarity. She breaks down how small acts of preparation for your mind, body, heart, and space can transform your mood and energy for the week ahead.   Through warmth and reflection, Radhi invites listeners to reframe Sunday not as a day of anxiety, but as a launchpad for peace, intention, and self-compassion.   In this episode, you’ll learn:   How to shift your mindset from “Sunday Scaries” to “Sunday Reset” Simple rituals to recharge your mind, body, and heart Why preparation—not perfection—creates confidence How nature, movement, and rest restore emotional balance Ways to turn your Sunday into a ritual of self-love, not a chore   This isn’t about having a perfect week—it’s about entering it prepared, grounded, and full of peace.   Follow Radhi: https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWe9A4kMf9V_AHOXkGhCzQ https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/ https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevlukiaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Amid the jokes, they slip in a few truth bombs too, like how we sometimes use icks to avoid real vulnerability.

What if knowing more isn’t the same as growing more?Could all the information we consume actually be keeping us from wisdom?What if real growth begins—not when you learn something new—but when you live it?Are you learning to prove yourself, or to understand yourself?And what would happen if you stopped collecting knowledge and started embodying it?   In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia explores the difference between knowledge and wisdom—and what it means to live what you learn.

In this first episode of On Purpose with Radhi, Jay opens up a conversation many of us have faced but rarely unpack, being asked, “When are you having kids?” What seems like a casual question often carries a weight that touches on biology, cultural expectations, financial realities, and deeply personal struggles. Together, Jay and Radhi peel back the layers of why this question can feel so triggering, especially for women, and why the assumptions behind it often miss the heart of the matter.

Do you keep saying “yes” when every part of you wants to say “no”?Are you exhausted from overgiving, overapologizing, and overextending yourself?What if people pleasing isn’t kindness at all—but self-abandonment in disguise?   In this eye-opening solo episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia unpacks the truth about people pleasing: why it feels like safety but actually chips away at your self-worth, your energy, and even your relationships. Radhi breaks down the hidden cost of constantly putting others first, how it disconnects you from your authentic self, and why being agreeable doesn’t actually bring you closer to people—it creates distance.   With honesty and compassion, Radhi shares practical steps to start breaking free from the cycle: how to set boundaries, clarify your capacity, and pause before you say yes. She also explores the hard truth that other people’s reactions are not your responsibility—and why your integrity matters more than their approval.   This episode is about rebuilding trust with yourself, honoring your limits, and showing up as the real you—without guilt, fear, or apology.   In this episode, you’ll learn: Why people pleasing is rooted in fear, not kindness How to recognize the physical signs that a boundary has been crossed Practical scripts you can use to say no without overexplaining Why resentment is your body’s signal that you’ve overextended How to rewrite the old story: “I need to please to be loved” Why doing less with the right intention matters more than doing more with the wrong one   If you’ve been disappearing into the version of yourself everyone else wants, this episode is your reminder that you are lovable, worthy, and enough—without having to earn it.
