Are gender roles quietly running your relationship?Do you keep arguing over the same small things with your partner?Is your partner's mess really the problem — or is it what it represents?Are you confusing being strong with being emotionally shut down? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi shares a funny, heartfelt, and eye-opening story about one couple’s fight over mess—and how it revealed something much deeper. From shoes by the door to unspoken resentment, this solo episode unpacks how the little things we fight about are rarely the real issue. Radhi reflects on her own journey with Jay, explores the emotional weight women often carry at home, and offers practical ways to build healthier communication, better balance, and more compassion in your relationship. In this episode, you’ll learn: How unspoken trauma and conditioning shape the way women handle domestic labor What guilt is trying to tell you—and how to respond to it in your relationship How to hold a weekly “domestic debrief” that keeps resentment from building up The power of daily validation and why micro-acknowledgements matter How to consciously reassign roles so they reflect your real strengths, not outdated expectations What “learned helplessness” looks like and how to stop enabling it Why you might expect your partner to fix everything—and how to let go of that pressure This episode is a heart-opening, honest look at love, triggers, and teamwork. Whether you’ve been together 2 months or 25 years, it’s never too late to have this conversation — and maybe even laugh about it too.

In this episode, you’ll learn: How to navigate conflict and stay connected in long-term friendships What a “clearing conversation” is—and how it can change your relationships Why your purpose can shift over time—and how to know when a dream has expired What Saturn Return is and how to move through big life transitions with grace Simple spiritual practices to ground yourself when everything feels uncertain How to stretch moments of joy and trust the timing of your life If you're navigating change, this episode will help you let go with grace, reconnect with your why, and find clarity in the in-between — all through the lens of friendship, healing, and spiritual growth.

I Spent A Week With A 74-year-old Monk - This Is What I Learned
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. What We Discuss: 00:00 Introduction 01:24 Who is Radhanath Swami? 04:27 The moment I first heard the meaning of true integrity 05:31 Why embodiment inspires more than advice ever could 06:19 The truth about religion 09:58 What is Sadhana? 11:27 Prayer is not a routine 12:17 Being conscious of God’s presence all the time 14:56 Why we all need role models in life 17:52 The power of silence and soul-to-soul connection 20:32 How can to be a vessel of grace and compassion 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.

A Guide to Heal Trauma and Step Into Your Soft Girl Era with Devi Brown
What does it mean to truly heal—and why do so many of us struggle to even begin? 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.

How to Make Friends as an Adult—Even After Rejection
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.
