Miss Amanda Chen Show

Hello and welcome back to the Miss Amanda Chen Show. I’ve got some new episodes for the 100 Masked Men series, where we unpack what lies behind the meaning of masculinity with 100 interviews of anonymous men from all walks of life.

If you listened to the last episode with the Nice Guy, I found a black male advocate for mental health that provide a very polarizing perspective. This is why I’m doing this show, to hopefully provide you with enough information to make your own educated, conscious decisions.

Masked Man # 14 is the Empowered Man. We talk about what toxic masculinity looks like, what it means to have power over others, complexity of trauma responses from people of colour, and how suddenly, the topic of racism has become a trend over the past summer and how some people have turned this into a marketing opportunity. This is an incredibly powerful conversation tackling very difficult subjects, so you know I’m juiced up and ready to go. Let’s get into it.

If you are or know of anyone that would like to speak on the subject of men and power, let me know @missamandachen on instagram. i’ll catch you next Wednesday with some more interviews of 100 Masked Men.

Hello you’re listening to the Miss Amanda Chen Show and I’m wrapping up 2020 with some hot new interviews on the 100 masked men series for you today. I always ask my guests questions about masculinity, but this week has been layered with deeper conversations on mental health, racism, sexism and the pressures involved in choosing, if there is a choice, on what issues to prioritize on.

Masked Man # 13 is The Nice Guy. And I think we’ve all met this guy - the one that says he has only good intentions and treats everyone equally, but being a white-hetro-male, lives in fear of saying the wrong thing and getting called out for it. We talked about how he thinks society's newfound spotlight on racism has impacted him personally and his anxieties around talking to women.

I’m not sure if he’s being dishonest with me, himself, or us both in this conversation, but it does feel like The Nice Guy is more concerned with people's perception of him than the actual impact of his actions. But I’ll let you be the judge - let’s get into it.

In contrast, Masked Man #14 is a black male advocate for mental health and we tackle the perceived “new trend” in racism. Get binging on the next episode.

And of course, if you have a unique perspective on masculinity that you’d like to share on the show, slide into my DMS at @missamandachen on instagram. Have a safe and Happy New Year and I’ll see you next Wednesday.

Hello and welcome back to the Miss Amanda Chen Show. I hope you are all staying safe this holiday season and I feel like it’s time to bring in some female energy. I sat down with Hanna Salazar, from the Advice From Hanna Podcast, a no fluff, no nonsense guide on how to make more intuitive decisions. We get up close and personal on what married life is like these days. As a very single person I have absolutely no clue what having a sex life with the same person for nearly a decade feels like, and we get in a little debate on what makes a “real man,” what we find attractive or desirable in men, and is there an actual time clock for when we decide we want children? I got questions. I hope you enjoy the show.

If you haven't already, make sure to subscribe and check out the Advice from Hanna Podcast and keep up with her via IG at @advicefromhanna - and of course make sure to check out SE2EP93 to hear my take on relationships on her show. See ya next time!

Welcome back to the Miss Amanda Chen Show. Today in the 100 Masked Men series. I am bringing you 2 conversations that focus on family.

The 12th Masked Man is the Family Man. he’s not your typical version we know like in The Simpsons or Family Guy, but what remains true is that this man puts family above all else.

He knows that he may not always agree with them but he loves them unconditionally and will be there for them no matter what, even if they don’t reciprocate - and he talks to me about the specific challenges of creating a family as a member of the LGBTQ community. Because there are no accidental babies there, and you know how obsessed I am about intentions in relationships.

I am so grateful to our 12th Masked Man for sharing his story with me. It could not have been easy to be this vulnerable. But I learned a lot from this conversation about forgiving others and ourselves and the importance of family. What did you guys think? Let me know @missamandachen on on Instagram and if you want to part of the show slide into my DMs. See you next week.

Hello you are listening to the Miss Amanda Chen Show. This week we are continuing our 100 Masked Men Series, where I talk to men about life, love, sex and masculinity. Because it's the holidays I’ve decided to bring you two conversations that focus on family.

Both of these men have a unique unconventional perspective on family that is shaped by their upbringing and the challenges they’ve faced.

masked man # 11 The Fatherless Father. This guy is that ambitious hustler business type and we talk about how he thinks about his role as a father after growing up without one and how becoming a father himself forced him to reevaluate his life, get out of the criminal lifestyle he was caught up in and eventually build a multimillion dollar business. if you know me from my entrepreneurial journey, I think you’ll really like this one.

I really appreciate the way that he emphasized taking accountability for yourself and removing yourself from situations that don’t serve you. He challenged me on some of my assumptions and although I understand there’s no use in helping those that don’t want to be helped, I believe I have a higher calling to bring knowledge and information into this world for us all to understand each other better - but what did you think? Let me know @missamandachen on Instagram and if you want to be on the show slid into my DMs. Talk to you soon.

Welcome back to the Miss Amanda Chen show. Thanks for joining me for the 10th instalment of the 100 Masked Men Series, where I interview men from all walks of life about what masculinity means to them and interacting with women in 2020.

I truly enjoyed the open and honest conversations i had this week, focusing a lot on self improvement and in doing that work, it includes admitting the shitty behaviour you’ve been guilty of doing in the past.

Masked Man #10 is the Sorry Man. He’s putting in the work to move on from his toxic behaviours and striving to learn from the sins of his father. We talk about how insecurity can sabotage a relationship, fear of being alone, and how much porn has contributed to how some men treat women. One thing you gotta know is this is the FIRST time i’ve spoken to this guy and he makes me reveal a historical fact i’ve never shared before. I hope you enjoy the show.

Would you be this open and honest with someone you just met? Let me know @missamandachen on Instagram and as always if you want to be on the show slide into my DMs.
