Why does it feel harder than ever to stay connected—to friends, partners, and even family?What’s the difference between healthy boundaries and emotional disconnection?Can you heal, grow, and still need other people?And what if needing support is actually a sign of strength—not failure?   In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with therapist, bestselling author, and boundaries expert Nedra Glover Tawwab for a powerful conversation about connection, dependency, and what it truly means to be in healthy relationships. Together, they explore why modern self-care culture can sometimes push us toward isolation, how hyper-independence shows up in everyday life, and why healing doesn’t happen alone.

Do you ever question whether someone in your life is truly your friend—or just playing the part? Have you ever felt drained, confused, or quietly hurt by a friendship that looked good on the surface but didn’t feel right underneath? And what if not every “fake” friendship is about bad intentions—but about misaligned expectations, capacity, and unspoken contracts?   In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi opens up about the nuance of adult friendships—how to spot red flags, how to recognize when something feels transactional, and why closeness isn’t always symmetrical. From navigating one-sided energy and personal gain, to understanding emotional capacity and silent expectations, this conversation invites you to reflect on your friendships with honesty and compassion.   Rather than jumping to “cut them off” culture, Radhi explores how communication, boundaries, and self-awareness can transform the way you relate to the people in your life. Because sometimes it’s not about labeling someone as fake—it’s about getting clear on what you need, what you’re giving, and what the relationship truly is.   In this episode, you’ll learn: Why not all transactional friendships are toxic How to recognize when expectations are misaligned The difference between friendliness and true intimacy Why closeness isn’t always equal—and why that’s normal How to identify red flags like gossip and lack of reciprocity When to communicate, when to create boundaries, and when to gently step back This isn’t about becoming colder or more suspicious. It’s about becoming clearer. Not every friendship is meant to be deep, and not every misalignment means someone is fake. Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is reflect, recalibrate, and choose connection with both warmth and discernment.   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.

Do you ever look in the mirror and immediately start criticizing your body? What if the problem isn’t your body—but the way you’ve learned to talk to it? And what if confidence has less to do with changing how you look, and more to do with changing how you think?   In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi opens up an honest, deeply personal conversation about body image, self-criticism, and the exhausting pressure to look a certain way. From childhood comments that linger for decades to the daily habit of body-shaming ourselves without even noticing, Radhi explores why so many women feel disconnected from their bodies—and how to begin healing that relationship with compassion instead of control.    In this episode, you’ll learn: Why most body insecurities aren’t actually yours to begin with The difference between caring for your body and obsessing over it How constant self-criticism keeps you stuck in a cycle of dissatisfaction Why confidence is an energy, not a body type Practical mindset shifts to stop attacking your body and start respecting it This isn’t about forcing body positivity or loving every inch of yourself overnight—it’s about ending the inner war, reclaiming peace, and remembering that your body is the least interesting thing about you.   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.
