from ExcommuniDate: Life & Love After Religion · host ExcommuniDate
Leave your shoes – and sanctity – at the door and join us for this conversation with Vishakha (Vi), who grew up in India and moved to the United States at age 19. Raised in Hindu traditions, she talks about what happens when religion and culture intermingle, especially on the journey to love. We explore how societal and gender roles engrained in her Hindu upbringing impacted her biracial, interfaith relationship, wedding and – ultimately – divorce.Plus, we dig into the caste system, the concept of “twin flames” and the power that comes from opting out of certain beliefs, even when they come from those who raised you. This episode reminds us that, even outside traditional high-demand religions, strict principles that guide our cultural upbringing can shape us – and set us free – all the same.Patreon 👉 https://www.patreon.com/excommunidatepodYouTube 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@ExcommuniDateInstagram 👉 https://www.instagram.com/excommunidate/TikTok 👉 https://www.tiktok.com/@cupidhasnocreedFacebook 👉 https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565386854823Support the show
