Episode 55: The One Where Amrutha Talks Dating Across Cultures and State Lines
On this episode we spend some time with our friend Amrutha, a fellow podcaster who provides community to other South Asian women. We discuss dating across cities and cultures, and from salsa nights to Vedic birth charts, we trace how identity shifts when we let ourselves be both strong and soft.
• Amrutha’s two podcasts and her purpose-driven storytelling
• Manhattan vs Austin dating norms and the small courtesies that matter
• Amrutha's worst first date story (it's a doozy....)
• How her identity as a South Asian women shaped her dating history, including discussion around family pressure, arranged marriage legacies, and timelines
• Vedic astrology and the role it plays in match-making
• Discussion around the role of karma in Hinduism and how it relates to dating
