The Space Between Heartbreak and Healing

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Are you confusing chaos for connection?
What if the pain isn’t about them, but about what you believe you deserve?
How do you know when you’re helping a friend heal versus keeping them stuck?
How do you stop seeking validation from the one who broke you?

 

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi gets real about what breakups leave behind—and how we can use that pain to transform, not spiral. Whether you’re freshly heartbroken or still haunted by an old flame, this conversation is the supportive friend you didn’t know you needed.

 

Radhi shares personal stories, lessons from her friends doing the inner work, and the patterns we repeat when we’re not fully healed. She explores how early emotional wounds shape who we’re drawn to, why we stay too long, and how to finally walk away with peace instead of pain.

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why you’re attracted to emotionally unavailable people.
  • How to stop seeking validation through someone else’s regret.
  • What casual sex after a breakup does to your self-worth.
  • How to use solitude as a superpower—not a punishment.
  • Why accountability with friends is a game-changer.
  • How to shift the question from “Why them?” to “Why me?”.
  • Daily rituals and mindset shifts that actually help you heal.

 

If you’re in the gap between who you were and who you’re becoming, this episode is your permission to slow down, go inward, and remember that your worth doesn’t depend on who comes back—but on how deeply you choose yourself.
