Join us, Leah & Siobhan, 2 friends navigating our health in our 30s & the changes that have definitely had us feeling like we're overreacting at times. Together we want to create a safe space where you can listen, connect & explore various women's health topics that can sometimes be misinformed, undereducated or even considered taboo. Now, we're not healthcare professionals but we'll be sharing our own experiences, the experiences of others & speaking to the experts to help you navigate & validate any health concerns you may have, but most importantly, to remind you that you're not alone. Join us for the ride every month as we work on the courage to say; don't tell me I'm ovary-acting! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
You asked the questions & we answered (- as much as we could anyway!)Firstly, a massive THANK YOU for all your questions & for getting involved in the conversation. In case you didn't know, we're not health professionals (just professional idiots!), our answers are based on our own experiences & on our opinions, so we weren't able to answer all of the questions but we will make sure to get them answered by the health professionals. If you do have any urgent queries regarding your health please seek professional medical advice. So what did we talk about? Well! The conversation ranged from preparing yourself for your appointments, osteoporosis & strength training, talking diagnoses to partners, waiting lists, what surprised us about our experiences, how peri menopause/endometriosis/ovarian cysts have affected our monthly cycle, how to regain your loosing your mojo, recovering after surgery, why men have nipples & so much more...Just another heads up - we do talk about some squeamish things like blood, poo & more so maybe avoid listening whilst you're eating - the joys of of women's health hey!Let us know what you thought & if you enjoyed it; like, share, subscribe, or follow on instagram @donttellmeimovaryactingBig loveLeah & Siobhan Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to the podcast! In this first episode we share our reasons for starting "Don't Tell Me I'm Ovary-Acting", the meaning behind the name & what you can expect from the podcast. Not only that, we thought we'd introduce ourselves, our recent health diagnoses and our weird & wonderful friendship - which we quickly realised is based heavily on chocolate & David Bowie! We can't wait to share our journeys with you but most importantly we hope you can find a friend in us & help you feel less alone.Let us know what you thought of the episode & if you really liked it even like, share, or follow on instagram @donttellmeimovaryacting Big loveLeah & Siobhan Hosted on Acast.
