Do you find it hard to open up, even with the people you love? Do you always feel like you have to handle everything on your own? What if letting yourself be known is actually a way of letting yourself be loved?   In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi explores what it really means to be vulnerable in friendship, why being self-sufficient can sometimes keep us disconnected, and how opening your heart can create a deeper kind of intimacy. She shares her own realization that being there for everyone else isn’t the same as allowing people to truly know and support you.   From the difference between privacy and guardedness to learning who has earned access to the more delicate parts of you, this episode explores how vulnerability, trust, and emotional safety shape our closest relationships. And more importantly, it reminds us that we don’t have to carry everything alone—sometimes, allowing someone to witness what we’re going through is one of the most powerful ways we can give and receive love.   In this episode, you’ll learn: Why sharing facts about your life isn’t the same as sharing your inner world. The difference between being private and being emotionally guarded. How vulnerability creates the sense of closeness that time alone cannot. Why you don’t have to tell everyone everything to build deeper friendships. How to recognize the people who have earned access to your heart. Why receiving love and support can be just as vulnerable as giving it. How allowing yourself to be known can become an offering of love.   Follow Radhi: https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia/ https://www.instagram.com/areallygoodcry/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWe9A4kMf9V_AHOXkGhCzQ https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/ https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevlukia See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if ADHD is more than just being “distracted”? What if the struggles with focus, emotions, time, motivation, and even relationships are all connected in ways we rarely talk about? And what if understanding how your brain works could help you stop seeing yourself as broken—and start building systems that actually support you?   In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia sits down with psychiatrist and ADHD specialist Dr. Sasha Hamdani for an honest and eye-opening conversation about what ADHD really looks like beyond the stereotypes.   Dr. Sasha breaks down the science of ADHD in a simple and deeply relatable way—explaining why it’s not just an attention issue, but a regulation issue that can affect emotions, sleep, focus, energy, motivation, relationships, and self-worth. Together, they explore the realities of living with ADHD as an adult, the emotional impact of rejection sensitivity, the differences in how ADHD presents in women, and why so many people go undiagnosed for years.   Radhi also shares her own experiences with time blindness, hyperfocus, overwhelm, and building systems that help her navigate daily life with more compassion and structure.   From dopamine and medication to social overstimulation and emotional regulation, this episode offers both practical tools and validating insights for anyone trying to better understand their mind.   In this episode, you’ll learn:   What ADHD actually is—and why it’s more than just distractibility The difference between inattentive, hyperactive, and combined ADHD Why ADHD is often missed or misdiagnosed in women How dopamine, motivation, and hyperfocus are connected What “time blindness” is and why ADHD brains struggle with time perception The link between ADHD, emotional regulation, and rejection sensitivity Why movement and fidgeting can improve focus How ADHD affects relationships, communication, and conflict The connection between ADHD and addiction or self-soothing behaviors How sleep, nutrition, exercise, and structure impact symptoms The difference between stimulant and non-stimulant ADHD medications Practical tools for managing focus, overwhelm, and daily routines Why understanding your personal patterns is key to building systems that work This episode is a reminder that ADHD isn’t a personal failure or lack of discipline—it’s a different way of processing the world.

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 pull us further away from ourselves—and why reconnecting often requires subtraction rather than adding more.   In this episode, you’ll learn:   What Vedic philosophy says about the “true self” The difference between your identity and your deeper consciousness How attachment and ego shape the way we move through life Why stillness is essential for self-awareness and clarity The subtle ways we perform in relationships, work, and daily life How to recognize inherited beliefs and conditioned identities Why uncovering yourself is more about remembering than becoming Small practices to help you reconnect with who you really are   Whether you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed by expectations, or simply craving a deeper connection with yourself, this episode is a gentle reminder that your true self isn’t something you need to create—it’s something that’s already been there all along.   Follow Radhi: https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia/ https://www.instagram.com/areallygoodcry/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWe9A4kMf9V_AHOXkGhCzQ https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/ https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevlukia See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
