Why do we rush to fill silence even when there's nothing more to say?
Are you using filler words to hide your nerves or to prove you're still interesting?
What are you trying to cover up with “like,” “um,” or oversharing?
When was the last time you sat in silence with someone you love, or with yourself?

In this solo episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi takes you deep into an unexpected topic: silence. What starts as a reflection on eliminating filler words like “um” and “like” quickly becomes an introspective and revealing look at the discomfort we feel when we’re quiet—and what we’re really trying to hide.

She shares how learning to pause and breathe while speaking transformed her confidence, and how too often, we speak just to prove we belong. But what if true connection doesn't come from filling every gap—but from being fully present, even in stillness?

Radhi also opens up about self-monitoring, the pressure to perform in conversations, and how she's learning to feel safe even when she has nothing to say. Plus: a sweet life update on her grandma’s health, nostalgia in London, and a birthday plan that’s pure joy.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why filler words can be subtle signs of insecurity and anxiety.
• How silence can feel threatening—but also freeing.
• Tools to eliminate filler words without losing your flow.
• Why slowing down your speech makes people actually listen.
• How to feel more seen and less performative in conversations.
• The emotional impact of always adjusting to fit in.
• What it means to be present with yourself—and others.

This episode is a gentle invitation to stop performing and start feeling. Whether you’re a fast talker, a chronic over-sharer, or someone afraid of awkward silences—this one will meet you where you are.

Are your unrealistic expectations the reason you’re still single?
Do you actually want a partner, or just a “perfect” person who doesn’t exist?
Is your dating app profile keeping you single without you even realizing it?
Can you tell the difference between a pet peeve and a dealbreaker?

 

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with Logan Ury—behavioral scientist, dating coach, and Director of Relationship Science at Hinge—for an honest, myth-busting conversation on love, dating, and emotional intelligence in the modern world.

 

Together, they unpack the hidden tendencies that quietly sabotage our relationships, the outdated myths we’ve been sold about romance, and why our obsession with “the spark” might be holding us back from something deeper and more real. Logan shares the truth about modern dating apps, how to read digital body language, and what Gen Z is teaching us all about vulnerability and connection.

 

Whether you’re single, dating, or somewhere in the messy middle, this episode is a warm, honest guide to building relationships with more self-awareness, clarity, and compassion.

 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to spot your unconscious dating tendencies
• Why emotional intelligence is more attractive than the “spark”
• The difference between a red flag and a personal preference
• How to write a dating profile that actually reflects who you are
• What to do on a first date—and what to never ignore
• The questions to ask yourself before becoming exclusive
• How to approach dating with curiosity instead of pressure

 

If you’re tired of feeling like love is something to “get right,” you’re not alone. This conversation is a call back to what actually matters: presence, emotional integrity, and connection that’s honest, even when it’s messy.

What would you say if you knew time was short?

In this honest and deeply moving episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia shares her experience of “living grief” as her 91-year-old grandmother faces an untreatable illness. This isn’t a conversation about death — it’s about life and how we choose to show up when we know time is limited.

Radhi opens up about the emotional complexity of loving through loss, the power of presence, and the spiritual and personal awakenings that emerge when we’re forced to let go before we’re ready.

Are you stuck in a cycle of waiting for the “big moments” to finally feel alive?

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia dives into the trending idea of “romanticizing your life”—and why it’s so much more than an aesthetic. Sparked by a friend’s comment that life felt “too still,” Radhi offers a thoughtful exploration of what boredom really means and how it might be a signal from your soul, not just your schedule.

• How to build a life you’re excited to wake up to without needing big changes
• Rituals and small sensory shifts to bring presence and magic into ordinary moments

• The powerful difference between consuming and creating
• Practices to cultivate curiosity and emotional presence

Whether you’re in a season of stillness or just looking to reconnect to your spark, this episode is your gentle reminder: you don’t need a new life—just a new way of seeing the one you have.

Or maybe… you’re navigating the challenges of friendship while figuring yourself out too?

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with Krista Williams and Lindsey Simcik—co-founders of the Almost 30 podcast—for an honest, soul-nourishing conversation on friendship, purpose, healing, and letting go of what no longer serves you.

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
