My First Interview - Shed Tears, Shared Unhealed Scars & Shifted our Perspective!

Hey everyone! This was the first interview i ever did over 2 years ago with my dear friend Lisa Biliyeu on Women of impact. I was never expecting to cry, but it seems my emotions had other plans and so i had no choice but to flow with it!
I hope this helps you in some way whether you are going through this now or ever do in the future just know you are not alone and that you will absolutely make it through!

i literally broke down when she mentioned 'i don't know what i could offer to this world?'..i felt that way too

True..

[@fatimamalik6050]

I don't understand this notion. Can anyone pls explain it to me?

[@tabeazoe8372]

@@fatimamalik6050 actually tears release substances that calm our nervous system down. so by crying you are also releasing the energy that emotion like frustration, anger, sadness holds. instead of holding your frustration in, thinking about the situation non-stop, blaming other people, keeping your heart rate up, clinching your yaw and so on... by crying you are accepting your emotion, making it seen to other people in a non-violent way and also letting it go and calm yourself down. it is nothing to be ashamed for, it is healthy.

I literally cried because I have the same feeling, I don't know where I stand right now, I don't know what I like about myself, I cry too often and don't know what to do in my life. I feel like I am lost in this world. Will start a journal from tomorrow and hopefully it will help me in figuring out things. Can't wait to come back to this video and tell my experience! Thankyou so much Radhi for such insightful and pure video! :)

[@peacefulasschic6321]

Same girl. I literally asked myself today, “What do I need? How do I love myself? What makes me happy?” We’re just trying to figure out this thing called life.Journaling definitely helps. I believe this is a temporary phase. The answers will come. Thanks for sharing 💖

[@llSophiell]

Dear Ritvi, I'm sending you so much love and positive energy. All the answers you're looking for are in your heart. Clarity comes from action. Do things that make you happy and bring you joy. Try to do at least one thing that makes you happy every single day. That's how you tune to your heart. Let the journey unfold in front of you and trust the timing of your life. You are here for a bigger reason than you can even imagine. You're amazing! You're so strong. And you're so loved. Please remember that you are never alone. There's always support. Simply ask for it and it will appear. Lots of love to you.

Vulnerability is often seen as a weakness. Power to you for not being embarrassed about it. This conversation was very helpful ❤️

[@leoniek1877]

It's so crazy. I've thought that you're a beautiful human being from the minute I first saw your content on social media, just you being yourself, goofing around, having this bright, charismatic and captivating energy about you. Not being in the best place myself yet, I love your presence, but also envy it, knowing my energy would be very similar if I just let myself be more free and accept myself more. Seeing you cry because you used to feel like I've been feeling for so long doesn't only make me love you more, it is such an inspiration. You weren't always like this, you alchemized your struggles and remembered your true, authentic self - that's powerful. Being you is what you have to offer to the world. We see you and we are grateful.

I felt like this video was sent to me at the most perfect time.

Your videos truly help me feel like I’m not alone and to give me amazing resources to help me learn and practice self love.

„waking up groggy.. why am I feeling this way? this could be something from the week before“ that’s so powerful.. Analyzing why we feel what we feel is so important for healing.. thank u so much Radhi!

[@jeanneamato8278]

I cry whenever I see someone cry. So much emotion bottled up. You have a lot to offer the world and so does everyone. We each will offer what we can.

[@nathashapaul5344]

*STORY TIME!!* i remember watching this interview on women of impact and i really resonated with what you said. i also can be lazy when it comes to goals/aspirations and i would sit and wallow and wonder " why am i not good enough". I had to take a moment to acknowledge that i wasn't even trying so ofc im not seeing results!! I actually started my spiritual journey at the beginning of quarantine (thanks to Radhi) as I had just graduated from uni and BOOM covid happened :( i lost my job and had to move back home with my parents and i felt like the plans i had (getting engaged, moving out, getting married etc) were paused. i was really frustrated but i also appreciated the positive impacts of this pandemic. OFC the pandemic sucks but if i truly want to be grateful, you have to try and see the silver lining if possible. I recognized that this pandemic allowed people to truly slow down and realize what is important in life. in the past, ive had a tumultuous relationship with my parents (alcoholism, being raised in a south asian household, toxic aspects of south asian culture etc.) When i was 18, i couldn't wait to move out of that toxic place and go to uni. once uni finished and the pandemic hit, i was really anxious about going back to the toxic household that i left. i'm glad to say that things are MUCH better, not only because my parents have learned from their mistakes (and mind you, alcoholism and other issues are still not resolved) but as i got older and talked to therapists, i realized that i was holding onto negative energy towards the way my parents acted and i was ALWAYS filled with anger. i would spew out anger to people who definitely didn't deserve it. Don't get me wrong, i don't like certain things my parents say or do, but i learned that i can control the way i react to situations and i can't change or control other people. I let go of my past anger and really focused on how i can act and react to situations. doing this has improved my relationship with my family and i NEVER thought i would ever get to a place where i could accept their flaws and be happy at the same time! The reason i was so unhappy is because I did that to myself, i cant blame my parents forever and it's not productive to blame them either. Blaming them did nothing for me other than resent them. Once I stopped blaming them and just accepted that these are the cards I was dealt with and I am still blessed in other aspects, I was able to start my healing process. It took 23 years LOL but atleast I'm there now. I also learned from Radhi the concept of meditation and spending time with yourself. They way she explained it was like a light bulb going off in my head LOL She said that we spend so much time getting to know others and getting into relationships or friendships but we dont take the time to do it ourselves. it is not selfish if your intentions are pure. Because of Radhi, i have established a morning meditation routine and i try my best to incorporate mindful practices throughout my day to reel myself back in and ground myself. I understand that I want to be a better person not for myself but for other people. I want to be the best version of myself so that i may be a better person for people who interact with me. When i was younger, i was really religious but for the wrong reasons ( i just followed what i was told) and i wanted to be a good person so i wouldn't get into "trouble" with God LOL But now, i want to be a good person just because. That's it. Just because. Not to get anything in return or to feel good about myself. Just because. One last thing because this is a long comment LOL In Radhi's evening prayer, there is a line she says which also set off another " aha!" moment in my head. She says *" Let me not judge others for their weaknesses and downfalls, as Mine are no less than theirs."* I really resonate with that and I try my best to live by this everyday (its really hard LOL but im trying).
