A Really Good Cry

Do your standards shrink the room? Have you ever been called too much, too intense, too selective, too particular? What if that's not a flaw, but proof of the work you've done on yourself?   In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi gets real about what it means to hold high standards — in dating, friendship, work, and with yourself. She breaks down the difference between ego-driven expectations and value-driven ones, and why knowing the difference changes everything.   In this episode, you'll learn: - Why being "low maintenance" isn't the flex we think it is. - The difference between ego standards and value standards. - Three tests to check if your standards are rooted in values or image. - Why "you're too much" is about their capacity, not your worth. - How Oprah, Serena Williams, and Indra Nooyi refused to shrink and won.   Your standards aren't the problem. Compromising them is.

In a world where we’re told to “wait until you’re ready,” what does that really mean for your body? Are we empowering women with information about fertility — or overwhelming them with fear? And how do you hold hope when the journey to pregnancy feels uncertain, unpredictable, or painfully slow?   In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with fertility specialist and author of The Lucky Egg, Dr. Lucky Sekhon, for an honest, empowering conversation about modern fertility, egg health, PCOS, endometriosis, IVF, and everything in between.   Dr. Sekhon breaks down what’s actually happening in our bodies — from ovulation and insulin resistance to inflammation and the biological clock — in a way that feels informative, not intimidating. She explains why regular periods matter, why lifestyle is important (but not something to weaponize against yourself), and how science has dramatically improved IVF success rates over the years. Together, they explore the emotional toll of trying to conceive, the frustration of conflicting advice, and why fertility isn’t just about statistics — it’s also about resilience, timing, and sometimes, a little bit of luck.   In this episode, you’ll learn:   When women should realistically start thinking about fertility — and why education shouldn’t start in crisis The real connection between insulin resistance, PCOS, and ovulation Why painful periods should never be normalized and what that could signal How endometriosis affects fertility — and why it often goes undiagnosed The truth about egg freezing and what it can (and can’t) protect you from What lifestyle habits actually move the needle (and which trends are overrated) How GLP-1 medications are unexpectedly changing fertility journeys Why regular movement, strength training, and sleep matter more than perfection The difference between forcing control and staying resilient in uncertainty Why you only need one healthy egg — and why that truth gives so many women hope   This episode is a reminder that fertility isn’t a moral measure of your worth. It’s biology, timing, health, and sometimes sheer unpredictability. Whether you’re actively trying, planning for the future, freezing your eggs, or simply wanting to understand your body better — this conversation gives you clarity without panic, and hope without false promises.   Follow Dr. Lucky:  https://theluckyegg.com/ https://www.instagram.com/lucky.sekhon/ https://www.tiktok.com/@drluckyegg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCid7bqwn9JjcYSJO8jgw0og Get Dr. Lucky’s book here: https://tinyurl.com/yc6e5zte   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.

Are you waiting to feel certain before you make a move? Do you know something needs to change but not what? What if feeling lost isn't a flaw, but a signal?   In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi breaks down the real psychology behind feeling lost and why it's not about lacking ambition or motivation, but about unmet needs you might not even know you have. From the Self-Determination Theory to envisioning your future selves, this episode gives you a practical, honest framework to stop spinning and start moving.   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 connection. A powerful exercise to envision three versions of your future self. Why values always matter more than goals. How to run low-stakes "micro-experiments" instead of making terrifying leaps. Three questions to return to whenever you feel stuck again. Clarity doesn't come from overthinking; it comes from honest self-reflection, small brave actions, and knowing what actually lights you up from the inside.   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.

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. Dr. Galaria breaks down the hair growth cycle using a simple seasonal analogy, explaining why hair loss today often reflects stress from months ago—and why patience is essential when it comes to regrowth. Together, they unpack the two most common causes of hair loss in women: chronic stress and hormonal pattern hair loss, and why each requires a completely different approach. 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 anxiety affect hair growth Why scalp health matters more than most products What ingredients actually help (and which ones are overhyped) The truth about Minoxidil, biotin, rosemary oil, and onion juice How protein intake directly impacts hair density Why tight hairstyles can cause permanent hair loss What your hair can reveal about your overall health This episode is a reminder that hair loss isn’t a personal failure. Your body isn’t betraying you, it’s responding.   Follow Dr Noreen: http://www.galariamd.com/ https://www.instagram.com/galariadermatology https://www.linkedin.com/in/noreen-galaria   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.
