Am I Ovary Acting?

Amber Izzo & Annabel Gurnettwww.buzzsprout.com

Am I Ovary Acting with Amber and Annabel: a deep dive into the most euphoric highs and the messiest of lows of being a woman, with everything in between. The girls bring you all of the unfiltered conversations we should all be having. From navigating fertility to the chaos of careers, relationships, social media and self-image, tackled with a perfect mix of humour, vulnerability and unapologetic honesty. Raw stories, belly laughs and the kind of girl talk that feels like a wine-night-in with your besties.
