Amber and Annabel are in their twenties. They love wine, carbs, their dogs and their sugar daddies (sorry - *husbands*). They're also battling fertility problems. But this is NOT a fertility podcast. It's a night with friends over a bottle of wine (or two). It's a heart-to-heart when everything seems to be going wrong. It's laughing in the face of misfortune when really you want to tell everyone to F*** off - although they're probably doing both. Armed with a drink in one hand and a microphone in the other, these two are a force to be reckoned with (or so they like to think). Get ready for brutal honesty, cringe-worthy confessions and plenty of laughs. New episodes released every Friday! xx FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM:@amber.izzo | @itsannabeljane
