Welcome back to the Epics Podcast. I started this podcast because I believe that the foundation of hate and discrimination in our world comes from a lack of understanding of those who are different from ourselves. We plan to combat that by hearing everyone's stories, so that we can better understand them, be a part of creating real positive change. Amanda Micallef is an Australian based strength coach and relationship podcaster where she interviews Relationship Coaches from all over the world bringing to the forefront an operation manual for navigating romantic relationships. She appeared on Married At First Sight Australia season 7 in 2020 as one half of the first ever lesbian couple. She is a sneaker collector and loves all things fashion. She appeared on the 7th season of the Australian reality TV show Married at First Sight in 2020 as one half of the first ever lesbian couple and we spent our interview today talking about the internet backlash that she experienced as a part of being on the show. Amanda talked about the impact that these hate messages have had on her, and how she deals with these trolls. You may have noticed that this episode of the podcast has been marked explicit, and that is due to her vast australian vocabulary. Of course I have no desire to censor her in any way because I want everyone to be their true authentic selves on this show, but just be aware that you might not want your kids in the car for this one. Along those lines, Amanda expresses some opinions in this interview that don’t necessarily reflect the views of the podcast, but similarly I did not want to edit them out because that is a part of what this podcast is all about. We can have different opinions and still see the value and inspiration in a person’s story.
