    If Life Isn’t Going The Way You Want, Here’s How To Reset

    Do you ever feel frustrated that your life isn’t moving the way you want it to? What if the problem isn’t a lack of motivation—but a misalignment between what you want and what you’re investing in? And what if the reason things haven’t changed yet has more to do with safety, identity, and belief than effort?   In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi opens up an honest, grounding conversation about why the life you want might still feel out of reach—and how your time, energy, beliefs, and nervous system are quietly shaping your reality. From the difference between fantasizing and truly investing, to the way identity, fear, and old patterns can hold you back, this episode is an invitation to look at your life with curiosity instead of judgment. Rather than pushing you to “try harder” or think more positively, Radhi explores how real change happens when your actions, beliefs, and sense of self begin to align—and why sometimes the thing blocking your growth isn’t laziness, but protection.   In this episode, you’ll learn: Why your life reflects what you’re funding, not what you’re wishing for How misalignment between words and actions keeps you stuck What “identity lag” is and why growth can feel uncomfortable even when you’re doing everything right Why your nervous system may not feel safe receiving what you want yet How belief, optimism, and small shifts in action can gently change your direction This isn’t about blaming yourself or overhauling your life overnight—it’s about awareness, honesty, and making space for alignment. Sometimes the shift you’re waiting for doesn’t come from doing more, but from seeing clearly where you already are—and choosing one small change in the right direction.   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.

    Naika Opens Up on Music, Identity & Confidence

    What does it really mean to belong—when your life has been shaped by many cultures, many homes, and many versions of yourself? How do you stay soft, feminine, and emotionally open in a world that constantly demands armor? And what if leaning fully into who you are is the most powerful thing you could ever do?   In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with singer, songwriter, and global soul Naïka for a deeply intimate conversation about identity, femininity, creativity, and self-trust. From growing up across continents to building a music career rooted in emotional honesty, Naïka opens up about what it truly takes to stay connected to yourself while navigating success, visibility, and personal evolution.   Together, they explore what it means to feel “in between” cultures—and how that experience can become a superpower rather than a wound. Naïka shares how music became her safe place for expression, why femininity is something to be nurtured and reclaimed, and how confidence is built through learning to have your own back.   From navigating public perception, creative blocks, and anxiety, to redefining success on your own terms, this episode is a raw, soulful reminder that vulnerability is not weakness—it’s artistry.   In this episode, you’ll learn:   How growing up across cultures shapes identity, belonging, and creativity Why feeling “in between” can actually make you more adaptable, open, and powerful How Naïka stays grounded while navigating fame, opinions, and online judgment What confidence really comes from—and why self-trust changes everything How femininity can be reclaimed as strength, softness, sensuality, and freedom Why music became Naïka’s safest space for emotional expression How to move through anxiety by connecting with your inner child What success looks like beyond numbers, accolades, and validation Why perseverance, discernment, and staying a student are essential life lessons How love, art, and vulnerability can bring people together across every divide   This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to fit into one box to belong. You are allowed to be layered. You are allowed to be emotional. You are allowed to be powerful and soft.   And most importantly—you are allowed to take up space exactly as you are.    Follow Naïka: https://www.naikaofficial.com/ https://www.instagram.com/naika/ https://www.tiktok.com/@naika?lang=en https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMvZ4lsFM9kLYciwiB1Xq-w   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.

    If You Don't Love Your Body, Listen To This

    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/@radhidevlukia See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Cycle Syncing 101: The Science Behind a Symptom-Free Period with Alisa Vitti

    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!

    Grieving the Future You Imagined with Dr. Maya Shankar

    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.

    Finishing Things: How to Actually Complete What You Start (And Keep Promises to Yourself)

    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/@radhidevlukia See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Clearstem: Birth Control, Hormones & Your Skin: What’s Actually Happening

    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.
