Do you keep telling yourself “next year will be different”?Are you tired of ending December feeling like you let yourself down?What if the thing you’re avoiding—discipline—is actually the key to your freedom? In this tough-loving episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia challenges us to stop waiting for the new year and start now. She breaks down why self-disappointment is the hardest pill to swallow, why discipline—not motivation—is what actually creates change, and how a simple plan can carry you through messy emotions and resistance. Radhi shares practical tools for the last 10–13 weeks of the year: how to go all in on your goals, design a plan that removes excuses, and hold yourself accountable daily. She also offers hard truths—motivation is useless without action, your comfort zone is keeping you stuck, and you can have excuses or results, but not both. This episode is not about doing more—it’s about doing what matters with consistency, so you can end the year proud, not regretful. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why discipline creates freedom instead of restriction How to plan your days and weeks to beat procrastination Why consistency feels hard at first but becomes your new normal How to tip the scales and go all-in without FOMO Five key questions to keep you on track every day Why action comes before motivation—not the other way around If you’ve been putting off your goals or waiting for the “perfect” time, this episode is your wake-up call to stop delaying and start showing up—for yourself.

Can belief measurably change your immune markers during treatment?Why can the word remission quietly program us to expect a relapse—and what language serves better?Which daily foods have the strongest evidence for anti-cancer support—and how much actually matters?Sugar, insulin, IGF-1—how do they shape cancer risk, and what’s the fruit nuance?Can circadian alignment extend survival for people living with cancer? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with Ayurvedic practitioner and integrative medicine expert Sam Watts, whose understanding of healing goes far beyond conventional treatments. Rooted in ancient wisdom and backed by science, Sam offers an entirely different way to look at cancer—not just as a physical disease, but as a disconnection from our internal intelligence, lifestyle, and emotional ecosystem. They talk about the mind-body connection, and how emotions like fear and helplessness can literally suppress your immune system, while belief and empowerment activate healing at the cellular level. Sam shares the foods that actively kill cancer cells, the lifestyle habits that disrupt our circadian rhythm and hormones, and why "hope" is the single strongest predictor for survival in cancer patients. In this episode, you’ll learn: How belief and mindset directly influence immune function and recovery What foods (like turmeric, matcha, and EVOO) are backed by science as anti-cancer powerhouses Why poor sleep and synthetic skincare might be more dangerous than you think How Ayurveda offers personalized, intuitive tools for healing The importance of circadian alignment and Ojas in preventing disease What it means to support someone beyond just conventional medicine How to detox from microplastics and endocrine disruptors—naturally Whether you're on a healing journey, supporting someone who is, or just want to better understand how to live preventatively and purposefully—this is one of the most profound health episodes Radhi has ever recorded.

Do you avoid hard things thinking you’re protecting your peace?Are you mistaking short-term comfort for real self-care?What if the things you run from are the key to your healing?How do you know when a boundary has become a wall? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia takes a deep, honest look at avoidance—why we do it, why it feels so good in the moment, and why it can quietly sabotage our happiness, relationships, and growth. She explores how modern “self-care” culture has blurred the lines between protecting our peace and avoiding discomfort, and why choosing the harder, messier path is often the most loving thing we can do for ourselves. From subtle coping habits like overworking or overthinking, to more obvious escapes like walking away from relationships or avoiding difficult conversations, Radhi reveals how avoidance not only delays pain but also keeps us disconnected from our truest selves. She offers practical, compassionate ways to face discomfort, process the past, and build the resilience that creates lasting peace. In this episode, you’ll learn: The difference between true self-care and disguised avoidance How unprocessed pain lingers in your body and shapes your present Why short-term comfort can lead to long-term struggle How to spot avoidance in subtle everyday behaviors Practical ways to face discomfort and build emotional resilience Why doing “hard things” boosts self-trust and confidence How building resilience in one area of life strengthens all others The long-term freedom that comes from choosing the harder path now Whether you’ve been putting off a conversation, ignoring a past hurt, or avoiding your next big leap, this episode is a compassionate call to stop running—not because life will be pain-free, but because you are stronger than the pain you fear.

This week on A Really Good Cry, I’m sharing what I learned from spending time with Radhanath Swami—a monk, teacher, and someone whose presence teaches more than words ever could. I first met Radhanath Swami over a decade ago, and in that time, simply observing how he lives—how he speaks, how he treats others, and how he holds presence in every moment—has quietly answered so many of the questions I’ve wrestled with on my spiritual path. This episode is about alignment—how our daily actions reflect our values, and how small, consistent practices shape our sense of purpose. We’ll explore what integrity really looks like in daily life, how rituals help create emotional stability, and why love isn’t just a feeling—it’s a choice we make again and again. Whether you’re deep in your own journey or just beginning to ask the bigger questions, I truly believe these reflections will offer something meaningful to your heart, too.

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, I sit down with healer, author, and spiritual educator Devi Brown for a deeply moving conversation about grief, joy, trauma, and the slow, sacred process of coming back to yourself. We talk about how healing often starts in survival mode, why joy takes practice, and how performative self-help can block real transformation. Devi shares powerful insights on breathwork, somatic healing, feminine softness, and devotion as a path to lasting change. Whether you’re navigating burnout, craving stillness, or trying to reclaim your worth, this episode is an invitation to soften, to feel, and to begin again—with compassion and intention. What We Discuss: 00:00 Intro 01:24 Writing about grief and joy 02:32 The Deep Connection Between Self-Worth and Joy 05:12 Joy Is a Choice You Make Every Day 07:14 How to Start Healing When You're Still in Survival Mode 11:37 Learning Without Action Builds the Ego 12:46 Devotion Starts When You See Yourself as Sacred 18:23 Why You’re Still Hurting After “Doing the Work” 22:47 You Can’t Heal If You’re Always Saving Others 24:48 What Are Mudras and Why Are They So Powerful? 34:45 Why the 'Girl Boss' era left women disconnected 38:13 Breath is your anchor in hard moments 45:36 Create beauty through your senses 48:03 What softness really means 50:57 Why “I Am” affirmations need to be personal 57:37 The real difference between wisdom and knowledge 01:01:26 A simple formula to discover your purpose Follow Devi Brown: https://www.devibrown.com/ https://www.instagram.com/devibrown/?hl=en https://youtube.com/@DeviBrownWell-Being https://www.linkedin.com/in/devibrown/ 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.
Have you ever had a friendship end without any real explanation? This week on A Really Good Cry, I’m opening up about one of the hardest lessons I’ve had to learn as an adult: not every friendship is meant to last, and sometimes, you won’t get a reason why. I’ll share the story of a connection that felt full of potential, only to end without explanation. It left me feeling confused, a bit heartbroken, and honestly, kind of spiraling for a while. More than just a story of rejection, this episode is about what it taught me—about communication, grace, and how much energy we give to people who’ve already let go. I’ll also walk through the tools and mindset shifts that helped me move forward, and the surprising ways I’ve found deeper, more aligned friendships since. If you’ve ever felt confused, hurt, or quietly heartbroken over a friendship that faded too fast, this one’s for you. You’re not alone—and you’re not the only one still trying to understand. What We Discuss: 00:00 Introduction 00:46 Friendship rejection 09:37 How I learned to prioritize the right people 10:59 Why making friends as an adult is so hard 12:53 Friendship is Just like dating 14:01 Why you should always give people a second chance 16:37 Figure out the key qualities you want in a friend 18:20 Find friends in the most unexpected places 22:01 Don’t wait for a friendship to happen 24:23 How to meet friends in the real world 25:52 The joy of connecting friends from different circles 27:05 Why noticing your flaws can save friendships 29:24 How to be more present with your friends 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.
In this episode of A Really Good Cry, I speak with Dr. Mindy Pelz, a fasting researcher, bestselling author, and expert in women’s health. Dr. Pelz shares the latest science on what happens in the body after a fast—and why your first meal can significantly influence the results of your fasting routine. We explore how fasting impacts the gut microbiome, the types of foods that support recovery and metabolic health post-fast, and which foods can diminish the benefits of your efforts. Dr. Pelz also discusses the role of fermented foods and essential minerals like magnesium and zinc in optimizing fasting outcomes. You’ll gain insight into common fasting mistakes, how fasting protocols should differ between men and women, and how stress and hormonal shifts—especially during menopause—affect digestion and nutrient absorption. Whether you’re new to fasting or refining your approach, this episode offers evidence-based strategies to help you break your fast in a way that supports long-term health and vitality.
