The problem with transparency

This week on Am I Ovary Acting , Annabel and Amber are talking about when being open and honest is *too much*. Should we know the details of Kylie Jenner's boob job, or does transparency become too much and instead, become unnecessary influence? Do you need to know if your favourite influencer has botox from time to time, or is it really pointless information? Plus, when do triggers and sensitivity go too far? amiovaryactingpod@gmail.com @amberizzo @annabelgurnett Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/...

It wasn't me, it was Patricia

This week we're talking our ideal life vs what we *think* is our ideal life, our embarrassingly high screen times and Internal Family Systems Therapy.

Live and let live

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 Hosted on Acast.

After this date, you're free to die.

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. @amiovaryacting amiovaryactingpod@gmail.com @amberizzo @annabelgurnett Hosted on Acast.

Nothing wrong with being barren...

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.

What success looks like

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. @amiovaryacting amiovaryactingpod@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....

"Angangang"

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 Hosted on Acast.

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.
