Happy Monday folks!

Today on the show, we bring you the vibrant Martha Kalifatidis. You’re likely familiar with the makeup artist and reality star after she appeared in one of the country’s most-watched seasons of Married at First Sight. Yes, she may well be known for a certain **wine throwing** incident, but she also left the show with a huge and fiercely loyal group of fans who fell in love with how confident, unapologetic, and yes - if we may use a buzzword to round this list out - authentic she really is. Oh, and they fell in love with her love story too, after Martha and her Married at First Sight husband Michael defied the reality TV odds, still together more than two years after the show aired.

In this chat, we talked about why she decided to go on the show, the dark days she spent in bed when trolling got too much and how Michael changed her life completely.
