A Really Good Cry

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.   In this episode, you’ll learn: What Human Design actually is and how it acts as a guide to your authentic self The five energy types and how each one is meant to operate in the world Why trusting your intuition (your “authority”) changes everything How conditioning pulls you away from your natural energy Why burnout, frustration, or bitterness may be signs you’re out of alignment How relationships improve when you stop trying to change each other Why being your authentic self makes you more magnetic—not less Simple ways to start reconnecting with your true nature today   This episode is a powerful reminder that you’re not here to become someone else—you’re here to return to who you’ve always been.

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/@radhidevlukiaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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!

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.
