Two Girls, One Spiral

The Instagram illusion of having it all together

This week we're talking about how "realistic" it's possible to be on Instagram - can you ever be truly transparent, or is it always an illusion, even when you're trying not to make it one? From whether knowing the 'behind the scenes' of Stacey Solomon's life would make us feel better or worse, and an ovary acting about the mental health support when trying to conceive, it's a jam packed episode.

  • Is it overthinking if you're usually right?

    50:56|
    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 twogirlsonespiralpodcast@gmail.com or DM us at @twogirlsonespiralpodcastNew episodes every Tuesday.YOUR HOSTSAmber IzzoAnnabel Gammack
  • Live and let live

    53:38|
    Annabel's hungover, Amber misses hangover days, and the girls are chatting everything from Lizzo's weight loss, mounjaro and Gino D'Acampo - all subjects they don't know much about but have an opinion anyway.amiovaryactingpod@gmail.com@amiovaryacting@amberizzo@annabelgurnett
  • After this date, you're free to die.

    58:35|
    The girls have entered their 30 and the peak adulthood conversations have started - including a seemingly strange life insurance policy clause, and a large dose of weaponised incompetence. @amiovaryactingamiovaryactingpod@gmail.com@amberizzo@annabelgurnett
  • Nothing wrong with being barren...

    57:42|
    Annabel's back from Tromsø, and the highlight of the trip was the bin lorry. A two day hangover, dreams of wetting the bed, a questionable Professor Green gig, and that one girl we all knew of at school. It's a corker!amiovaryactingpod@gmail.com@amiovaryacting@amberizzo@annabelgurnett
  • What success looks like

    58:27|
    Is success money? Is it career, being a workaholic, or is it being able to live peacefully? We always want what's next. And so now as Amber and Annabel are on different paths career wise, we talk success, the misconceptions around 'social media' jobs, and what happiness really is. With a heartbreaking 'Am I Ovary Acting?' we struggle to answer, it's not one to miss. @amiovaryactingamiovaryactingpod@gmail.com
  • "Angangang"

    01:07:31|
    It's a jam packed episode: Fertility Access went to Parliament, a tampon fiasco, her husband's got the ick, and Annabel's making some good, positive choices whilst devouring a box of French Fancies. With an ovary acting which would make anyone want to be swallowed by the Earth, it's a good one. amiovaryactingpod@gmail.com@amiovaryacting@amberizzo@annabelgurnett
  • The Grand Tour of the North, and a live menty-b

    57:43|
    A chaotic tour of the north turned realisation that something's got to give - this week, Amber's laying all the cards on the table while Annabel tries to convince her that she's not completely and utterly falling apart.Send us your ovary actings at: amiovaryactingpod@gmail.com.
  • New Year, Same Us

    52:31|
    Happy New Year! We're back and as chaotic as ever - Annabel's tired and Amber can't stop talking. New Year's resolutions and a sensitive Am I Ovary Acting topic (heads up - we discuss IVF, loss and abortion) - we're excited for the year ahead. amiovaryactingpod@gmail.com@amiovaryacting
