    Is it overthinking if you're usually right?

    Welcome to the very first episode of Two Girls, One Spiral.After four years of Am I Ovary Acting, we're rebranding ourselves as the Taylor Swift's of the podcast world by entering a new era. Same hosts, still very much oversharing, and the same inability to leave any thought alone, but a slightly bigger space to talk about all the things that make us laugh, cry, rage and importantly: spiral.This week we're asking an important question: are women actually overthinking everything, or are we just carrying the responsibility of well, everything? From analysing text messages and replaying conversations to the emotional load of friendships, relationships and modern life, we're chatting about why so many of us seem physically incapable of simply letting things go.Plus, our very first listener spiral: a woman whose reaction to a bereavement still haunts her to this day.If you've ever convinced yourself somebody hates you because they replied "thanks" instead of "thank you", then this is for you gal!To send us your spirals, dilemmas, unpopular opinions or voice notes, email [email protected] or DM us at @twogirlsonespiralpodcastNew episodes every Tuesday.YOUR HOSTSAmber IzzoAnnabel GammackFollow us on socials: @twogirlsonespiralpodcast Hosted on Acast.

    Everywhere I turn, someone is pregnant

    Amber is convinced today is the day (again), debates whether it’s acceptable for her husband to watch Chelsea mid-labour, and the end is very much nigh.We talk infertility, pregnancy announcements, showing up for friends when it’s hard, why there’s no universal right way to support someone going through IVF (or postpartum), and how Instagram has somehow made basic human compassion more stressful.Also: Ally Pally, nickname icks, emergency poos, and the realisation that after five years of podcasting and friendship, we’ve never actually shared a bottle of wine.As always, we solve nothing, but we do talk about it properly.Send us your ovary actions!

    I don't know if I'm turned on or repulsed?

    This week, Annabel’s run is cut short by her bowels (again), Amber is convinced she’s about to go into labour, and we spiral over baby showers, gift etiquette, and how much money is acceptable to give without looking cheap. There’s accidental auction drama, emotional support monkeys, too much TV sex, being loved loudly, and at least one conversation that absolutely goes too far.As always, we cover everything, including disposable pants.Send us your ovary actions!
