How Your Food is Affecting Your Mood - A Guide to Improve Your Mood, Energy and Focus Through Your Meals

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/0c9b8b12-dd6d-4287-ac64-b1b6006a9e35/transcript

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.

3 Questions to Ask Yourself When You Feel Lost

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/380c3d96-c9d9-4f90-a232-b43a006bfe71/transcript

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.

The Real Reason Your Hair Is Falling Out - The Science of Hair Loss and How to Grow It Back for Good

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/40698bb3-5c06-4ca4-a895-b4330077dedf/transcript

What if you’re not burnt out — just energetically cluttered?

Why does anxiety build even when nothing “big” has happened?

How much of your exhaustion comes from micro-betrayals of your own boundaries?

What would change if you cleaned your energy the way you clean your body?

 

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi introduces the concept of Spiritual Hygiene — the daily practices that prevent emotional, mental, and energetic buildup. She explains how we don’t usually fall apart from one major event, but from tiny, unreleased accumulations: unspoken irritation, doomscrolling, overgiving, comparison, and saying yes when we mean no.

 

Radhi breaks down five forms of spiritual hygiene — integrity, attention, emotional, relational, environmental, and talk hygiene — and explores how anxiety is often the gap between who we say we are and how we’re actually living. She shares personal reflections on leaked energy, digital clutter, overstimulation, and the subtle ways we disconnect from ourselves in modern life.

 

This episode is a reset — an invitation to clear the dust off your spirit and return to yourself.

 

In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why micro-accumulations lead to burnout and resentment.
How doomscrolling dysregulates your nervous system.
What “integrity hygiene” means and how to practice it.
Why unprocessed emotions turn into personality traits.
How your environment quietly impacts your anxiety.
The power of changing the way you speak to yourself.

 

Spiritual hygiene isn’t about perfection — it’s about daily clearing so you can move through the world lighter, calmer, and more aligned.
