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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

In this fun and unfiltered episode, Jay and Radhi dive into the world of “icks,” those oddly specific little turn-offs that make us cringe for reasons we can’t quite explain. From baby voices and socks with sandals to the blurry line between confidence and cockiness, they laugh their way through the most random dating deal-breakers and what they secretly reveal about us. Amid the jokes, they slip in a few truth bombs too, like how we sometimes use icks to avoid real vulnerability. It’s light, hilarious, and uncomfortably relatable, because honestly, we’ve all had an ick… and we’ve definitely been someone else’s.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Tell the Difference Between an Ick and a Red Flag

How to Communicate Honestly About What Bothers You

How to Recognize When You’re Using an Ick as an Excuse

How to Appreciate Imperfections in the People You Love

It’s easy to get caught up in small things that bother us, but true connection isn’t built on perfection, it’s built on patience, humor, and understanding. Everyone has quirks, and sometimes those quirks are what make relationships real.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

Do you have to close one chapter to begin another?
