A Really Good Cry

What if starting something new isn’t the real challenge—but finishing it is? Why do so many projects, goals, and ideas die in the “messy middle”? What if completing a task isn’t just about willpower, but about shifting who you are at a deeper level? Are you a person who loves beginnings but avoids endings—or could you train yourself to finish with ease? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia explores the gap between starting and finishing. Drawing from science, Ayurveda, and her own life, she explains why our brains crave novelty but resist follow-through—and how to move from the dopamine rush of beginnings to the serotonin stability of completion. Through honesty, practical tools, and gentle insight, Radhi guides listeners to shift identity, build momentum, and cultivate the discipline needed to see projects through—all while learning to celebrate small wins along the way. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why starting is easy but finishing is hard—and how your brain tricks you How to turn “too many open drawers” into actionable focus Tools to create micro-finish lines and train your boredom muscle How to shift from being a “starter” to a “finisher” Ways to make progress sustainable, consistent, and personally rewarding This isn’t about working harder—it’s about finishing smarter.   Follow Radhi: https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWe9A4kMf9V_AHOXkGhCzQ https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/ https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevlukiaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
