What if the life you actually want is already on a list somewhere, just waiting for you to begin? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with Ben Nemtin, co-founder of The Buried Life, to talk about what it took to crawl out of a debilitating depression and build one of the most inspiring movements in a generation.

What if the version of yourself you’ve been protecting isn’t actually who you are? Why is it so easy to lose ourselves in roles, expectations, and the need to be understood? And when was the last time you sat in complete stillness and truly listened to yourself? In this solo episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi explores what it really means to be your true self—and why so many of us spend our lives identifying with roles, expectations, and versions of ourselves that were never truly ours. Drawing inspiration from Vedic philosophy and the concept of the “atman,” she reflects on the difference between the temporary self and the deeper, unchanging part of us that exists beneath the noise. Through personal reflections and honest moments of questioning, Radhi opens up about the pressure to perform, the fear of uncovering uncomfortable truths about ourselves, and the challenge of sitting in stillness long enough to actually listen inward. She shares how attachment, ego, distraction, and constant stimulation can…

What if the way you care for yourself has become more complicated than it needs to be?

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with herbalist and wellness expert Rachelle Robinett for a grounding and deeply nourishing conversation on herbalism, healing, and returning to your body’s natural wisdom.

Or maybe… you’re tired of shrinking yourself just to feel safe? In this solo episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi explores the quiet power of belief—and how the stories we repeat to ourselves shape the way we move through life.

In this episode, you’ll learn: How your beliefs shape your actions, confidence, and…

How much of your exhaustion is actually about sleep—and how much of it is everything you’re doing around it? What if the reason you’re not sleeping isn’t because your body is broken, but because your habits are? Are you trying to force rest… instead of creating the conditions for it? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with sleep expert Dr. Michael Breus for a deeply practical and eye-opening conversation on sleep, energy, and what’s actually keeping you up at night. Dr. Breus breaks down sleep in the simplest way—reminding us that it’s a natural biological function, not something we should have to “hack.” From understanding sleep apnea (especially how it shows up differently in women) to why melatonin is often misused, this conversation challenges everything you thought you knew about rest.

How much of who you are is actually you—and how much is what you’ve been taught to be? What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t because you’re lost, but because you’re out of alignment? Who would you be if you stopped trying to do life the “right” way? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with Human Design expert Jenna Zoe for a deeply eye-opening conversation on authenticity, energy, and self-trust. Jenna breaks down Human Design in the simplest terms—describing it as a “manual” for your energy—and explains how each of us is designed to move through the world differently. From understanding your aura and intuition to recognizing how conditioning pulls you away from your natural self, this conversation offers both clarity and permission. They explore the five energy types, how relationships shift when you honor your design, and why so many of us feel disconnected—not because something is wrong with us, but because we’ve been living against our nature.

From ego awareness to emotional regulation to desire management, this episode gives you the inner framework to stop being controlled by your reactions, impulses, and need for validation. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why self-development alone can trap you in a cycle of feeling perpetually…

How do we find room for joy and celebration while facing collective suffering and oppression? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with Dr. Thema Bryant, a trauma recovery expert and 2023 President of the American Psychological Association (APA), for a deeply reflective conversation on identity, faith, and the process of "Homecoming."

This led her to discover liberation psychology, focusing on context and systems to empower everyone. She also discusses how her childhood home was like her "first time working at like a crisis hotline" and how moving to Liberia, West Africa, gave her confidence from seeing people who looked like her in positions of…

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with entrepreneur and spiritual teacher David Ghiyam to unpack manifestation, wealth, relationships, and the spiritual laws that shape our reality. David shares how taking a vow of poverty at 19 shaped his understanding of money, and how subconscious beliefs kept him financially stuck for 15 years. He explains the concept of expanding your “vessel”: if you try to hold a million-dollar life with limited capacity, it will collapse. The work isn’t about chasing success, it’s about becoming someone who can sustain it. They discuss immigrant scarcity mindset, generational trauma around money, and why enjoying wealth is just as important as earning it. The conversation also dives into magnetic energy in relationships, transforming darkness into certainty, and why true prayer is…

Rather than telling you to "follow your passion" or make a dramatic leap, Radhi explores how small experiments, values clarity, and the right questions can create more direction than any five-year plan ever could. Because sometimes the path forward isn't found by thinking harder, it's found by understanding yourself better. In this episode, you'll learn: Why feeling lost is often a sign of an unmet psychological need, not a life crisis. How to identify whether you're missing autonomy, growth, or…

Why does hair loss feel so sudden—and so personal? Is it stress, hormones, diet… or something deeper happening in the body? And why do so many “miracle” hair products never actually work? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia is joined by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Noreen Galaria for a grounding, science-forward conversation about hair loss, scalp health, and what your body is really communicating through your hair.

In this episode, you’ll learn: Why hair loss has a 3-month delay—and what that means for healing The difference between stress-related shedding and hormonal pattern hair loss How cortisol and chronic…

What if you’re not burnt out — just energetically cluttered? Why does anxiety build even when nothing “big” has happened? How much of your exhaustion comes from micro-betrayals of your own boundaries? What would change if you cleaned your energy the way you clean your body? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi introduces the concept of Spiritual Hygiene — the daily practices that prevent emotional, mental, and energetic buildup. She explains how we don’t usually fall apart from one major event, but from tiny, unreleased accumulations: unspoken irritation, doomscrolling, overgiving, comparison, and saying yes when we mean no. Radhi breaks down five forms of spiritual hygiene — integrity, attention, emotional, relational, environmental, and talk hygiene — and explores how anxiety is often the gap between who we say we are and how we’re actually living. She shares personal reflections on leaked energy, digital clutter, overstimulation, and the subtle ways we disconnect from ourselves in modern life. This…

What if your anxiety isn’t just in your mind, but in your body? Why do certain pains never fully go away? Can tiny movements actually release stored trauma? What if your body isn’t broken but just protective? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with somatic healing expert Liz Tenuto to explore how emotional stress and trauma live in the body, and how to safely release it.

Unlike traditional workouts or even yoga, somatics is about restoring agency, reconnecting the mind and body so you feel safe inside yourself again. They discuss how unprocessed stress can show up as jaw tension, tight hips, gut issues, panic attacks, and chronic pain. Liz breaks down nervous system responses like fight, flight, freeze, and dissociation, and explains why shaking, or neurogenic tremors, can actually be the body completing a stress cycle. In this episode, you’ll learn:…

What if forgiveness isn’t about the person who hurt you, but about your own peace? Can anger be a disguise for deeper feelings like guilt or betrayal? Is it possible to forgive without ever speaking to someone again? How do you release trauma that keeps looping in your body and mind? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi explores forgiveness as a one-person process, a choice made for your own healing, not for anyone else. She explains why forgiveness must be voluntary and intentional, and how societal pressure can make it feel performative. Radhi also distinguishes between “big T” trauma, like abuse or loss, and “little t” daily grievances, sharing stories from survivors and her experiences in Rwanda after the 1994 genocide. She breaks down how anger can physically manifest and keep you tied to past pain.

From navigating one-sided energy and personal gain, to understanding emotional capacity and silent expectations, this conversation invites you to reflect on your friendships with honesty and compassion. Rather than jumping to “cut them off” culture, Radhi explores how communication, boundaries, and self-awareness can transform the way you relate to the people in your life. Because sometimes it’s not about labeling someone as fake—it’s about…

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.

In this episode,…

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?
