A Really Good Cry

What if your anxiety isn’t just in your mind, but in your body?
Why do certain pains never fully go away?
Can tiny movements actually release stored trauma?
What if your body isn’t broken but just protective?

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with somatic healing expert Liz Tenuto to explore how emotional stress and trauma live in the body, and how to safely release it.

Liz explains that “soma” means body, and somatic healing focuses on small, intentional micro-movements that help regulate the nervous system. Unlike traditional workouts or even yoga, somatics is about restoring agency, reconnecting the mind and body so you feel safe inside yourself again.

They discuss how unprocessed stress can show up as jaw tension, tight hips, gut issues, panic attacks, and chronic pain. Liz breaks down nervous system responses like fight, flight, freeze, and dissociation, and explains why shaking, or neurogenic tremors, can actually be the body completing a stress cycle.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
How trauma gets stored physically in the body.
Why jaw, neck, and hips hold stress.
What the freeze response actually feels like.
How to calm panic through simple body-based tools.
The difference between nervous system safety and intensity.
Why healing is about regulation, not perfection.

This episode is a reminder that your body is always trying to protect you - and with the right tools, you can teach it that it’s safe again.

What if forgiveness isn’t about the person who hurt you, but about your own peace?
Can anger be a disguise for deeper feelings like guilt or betrayal?
Is it possible to forgive without ever speaking to someone again?
How do you release trauma that keeps looping in your body and mind?

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi explores forgiveness as a one-person process, a choice made for your own healing, not for anyone else. She explains why forgiveness must be voluntary and intentional, and how societal pressure can make it feel performative.

Radhi also distinguishes between “big T” trauma, like abuse or loss, and “little t” daily grievances, sharing stories from survivors and her experiences in Rwanda after the 1994 genocide. She breaks down how anger can physically manifest and keep you tied to past pain.

The episode walks you through the four stages of forgiveness: Hate, Hurt, Understanding, and Release — practical steps to untie the emotional knot and reclaim your peace.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why forgiveness is for you, not them.
The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation.
How anger can hide deeper emotions.
Why trauma can show up physically in your body.
The four-step framework to release pain.
How daily practice of forgiveness can free your nervous system.

Forgiveness is not a single moment — it’s a process of reclaiming your power and choosing peace.

Who are you when your mind is running on beliefs you never chose?
Is your pain a life sentence — or a story waiting to be rewritten?
What if the limits you feel aren’t real, but learned?
And who might you become if you stopped fearing your own potential?

In this mind-opening episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with transformational coach and author Jim Curtis for a deeply reflective conversation on identity, fear, and the unseen programming that shapes our lives more than we realize.

Jim shares his personal journey from Wall Street trader to transformational coach — a path marked by physical pain, spiritual seeking, and the realization that true freedom begins within. With more than twenty-five years in wellness leadership, including executive roles at WebMD, Everyday Health, and The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, Jim blends neuroscience, hypnotherapy, and spirituality to help people reprogram subconscious patterns and create lasting change.

His latest book, The Book of Possibility, is designed to feel like a one-on-one coaching session — an experiential journey that guides readers through his signature three-step process: Release, Align, Become. Through guided practices, reflective prompts, and hypno-meditations, the book explores how lasting change doesn’t come from fixing your life externally, but from transforming the identity operating beneath the surface.

Together, Radhi and Jim explore how beliefs formed in childhood quietly run our lives, how emotional wounds can manifest physically, and why questioning everything you think you know may be the key to peace, power, and possibility.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why 95% of your life is influenced by your subconscious — not your conscious choices
How to identify and rewrite beliefs that no longer serve you
Why pain — physical or emotional — is often rooted in unresolved fear
The difference between “I want” and “I am” when manifesting change
How hypnotherapy and visualization rewire identity at its core
Why awareness must begin with emotional honesty
How acceptance, not resistance, can dissolve suffering
Why small daily practices are more life-changing than big breakthroughs

This episode is a powerful reminder that you are not stuck — you are programmed, and every belief, fear, and identity can be rewritten. It’s not about becoming someone new — it’s about remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.

Have you ever noticed how your thoughts seem to jump ahead before the moment has caught up?
Why can a simple task spiral into mental noise, while something random pulls you into deep focus for hours?
How often do you tell yourself you’ll “get to it later,” only to feel surprised when time disappears again?
What happens when you stop blaming yourself for that—and start paying attention to how your brain actually works?
In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi shares a grounded, personal conversation about living with ADHD and the systems that helped her move from constant overwhelm to more clarity, calm, and self-trust. She opens up about racing thoughts, time blindness, interrupting conversations, overstimulation, and the quiet shame that can come from feeling misunderstood—while offering practical, compassionate tools that support an ADHD nervous system.
Rather than pushing discipline or productivity hacks that don’t stick, Radhi explores why external structure creates internal peace, why environment matters more than willpower, and how small shifts—like movement, breath, realistic timing, and simplifying routines—can change how supported you feel in your own life.

In this episode, you’ll explore:
Why ADHD can feel chaotic even when you’re trying your best
How time blindness and overstimulation affect daily life and relationships
What kinds of structure actually help an ADHD brain
Why calm comes from systems, not self-criticism
How to work with your brain instead of fighting it
This episode isn’t about fixing yourself or forcing focus. It’s about understanding your operating system, creating safety in your nervous system, and realizing that what once felt like chaos may just be untapped intelligence waiting for the right support.

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. Nedra breaks down the dependency spectrum—from codependency to emotional avoidance—and explains how true interdependence allows us to grow without losing ourselves.
From friendships and romantic relationships to attachment styles, expectations, and conflict, this episode is a grounded reminder that boundaries aren’t meant to separate us—they’re meant to help us stay connected.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why loneliness is rising despite increased self-awareness
The difference between codependency, enmeshment, and hyper-independence
What healthy dependency actually looks like in real life
How attachment styles affect relationships—and why they don’t define you
Why not every relationship should carry the same expectations
How to communicate needs without guilt or avoidance
The difference between solitude and isolation
Why small moments of intentional connection matter more than you think

This is your reminder that you’re not meant to do life alone.
That relationships are allowed to be imperfect.
And that healing, boundaries, and connection can exist at the same time.
You’re allowed to need people.
You’re allowed to ask for help.
And you’re allowed to stay connected—without losing yourself.
