Could the pain you feel actually be wisdom waiting to unfold?

How often do your expectations write a story your reality can’t live up to?

Could disappointment be your teacher, not your enemy?

 

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia dives deep into the emotion we all try to avoid—disappointment.

 

She explores why this feeling cuts so deep, describing it as the space between expectation and reality—a form of grief for what could have been. Drawing from her own reflections, Radhi reveals how disappointment often says more about our assumptions than the situation itself.

 

Instead, Radhi invites listeners to find peace in the middle ground: To feel the emotion fully, take ownership of their response, and reframe disappointment as tuition—the price we pay for wisdom.





In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why disappointment may be a form of grief, not failure
How perfectionism and shrinking dreams both come from fear
Why effort doesn’t always equal outcome—and that’s okay
How to reframe disappointment as tuition, not tragedy
Why feeling your emotions fully gives them less power
How to stop outsourcing your peace to other people or results

 

You’ll learn how to stop outsourcing your peace, communicate with compassion, and find meaning in moments that didn’t go as planned. This isn’t about pretending everything’s fine—it’s about trusting that you can handle what is.
