When Knowledge Isn’t Enough: Turning What You Know Into Who You Are
What if knowing more isn’t the same as growing more?Could all the information we consume actually be keeping us from wisdom?What if real growth begins—not when you learn something new—but when you live it?Are you learning to prove yourself, or to understand yourself?And what would happen if you stopped collecting knowledge and started embodying it? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia explores the difference between knowledge and wisdom—and what it means to live what you learn. She reflects on how easy it is to consume information, collect quotes, and mistake understanding for transformation. Drawing from her own experience in the wellness space, Radhi shares how she shifted from learning to impress to learning to express—from knowing to truly living. Through honesty and gentle insight, she reminds us that wisdom isn’t found in what you know, but in what you practice when no one’s watching. In this episode, you’ll learn: The key difference between knowledge and wisdom Why consuming more doesn’t always mean growing more How to turn information into daily action Questions to help you tell if you’re living from ego or from truth Simple ways to transform learning into lasting change This isn’t about knowing everything—it’s about living what matters.

Stop People Pleasing
Do you keep saying “yes” when every part of you wants to say “no”?Are you exhausted from overgiving, overapologizing, and overextending yourself?What if people pleasing isn’t kindness at all—but self-abandonment in disguise? In this eye-opening solo episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia unpacks the truth about people pleasing: why it feels like safety but actually chips away at your self-worth, your energy, and even your relationships. Radhi breaks down the hidden cost of constantly putting others first, how it disconnects you from your authentic self, and why being agreeable doesn’t actually bring you closer to people—it creates distance. With honesty and compassion, Radhi shares practical steps to start breaking free from the cycle: how to set boundaries, clarify your capacity, and pause before you say yes. She also explores the hard truth that other people’s reactions are not your responsibility—and why your integrity matters more than their approval. This episode is about rebuilding trust with yourself, honoring your limits, and showing up as the real you—without guilt, fear, or apology. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why people pleasing is rooted in fear, not kindness How to recognize the physical signs that a boundary has been crossed Practical scripts you can use to say no without overexplaining Why resentment is your body’s signal that you’ve overextended How to rewrite the old story: “I need to please to be loved” Why doing less with the right intention matters more than doing more with the wrong one If you’ve been disappearing into the version of yourself everyone else wants, this episode is your reminder that you are lovable, worthy, and enough—without having to earn it.
