In the latest episode of “LetsKeepIt100podcast”, the hosts sit down with India, the creator of the “Shameless Speech” podcast, for an open conversation about relationships, self-growth, and personal standards in dating.
India, who recently ended a year-long relationship, reflected on the challenges of moving in too soon and how therapy has helped her redefine what she wants in a partner. “I’m my best self outside of a relationship,” she shared, emphasizing that respect and consistency are non-negotiables for her moving forward.
At 27 years old, India takes pride in Black culture and envisions herself building a future with a Black partner. She credits her father for instilling strong values, providing both emotional and financial support, which shaped her expectations in relationships.
The conversation also dives into dating strategies, with India revealing that she researches potential partners by checking mutual followers and gathering insights from people in her circle. Presentation and personal hygiene, she says, play a big role in her initial attraction.
India openly acknowledges past toxic behaviors, including picking unnecessary fights and engaging in physical altercations. However, through therapy and personal reflection, she’s worked to break those patterns and approach relationships with a healthier mindset.
Beyond dating, the discussion touches on body image, personal growth, and career ambitions. India shares her experience launching a podcast, the struggles of promotion, and her goal to inspire others to challenge limiting beliefs. The hosts also get into more explicit topics, covering personal boundaries, relationship dynamics, and the realities of dating in today’s social media-driven world.
