Two Peas & A Podcast

Just a quick hello 😄

Welcome to our first podcast! Please be kind. We are still learning the ropes.

This is just an introduction for you guys. We share a little about who we are, where we come from and how we became friends!

Thank you SO MUCH for the support!

We'd love to hear thoughts and comments from you!

This was our favorite episode to record thus far! It's just us being us! We're goofy and fun and we LOVE to laugh! You'll definitely get a feel for who we are more. We picked out 21 questions for each other(so 42 questions really) then put each other on the spot so we were sweating it out. Grab a seat, some snacks, and maybe a cold wash rag because it's going to get a little hot.

Just a couple of millennial's attempting to play Fortnite. Not our specialty. We grew up on Nintindo 64 however (which we talk about) so we were around when video games were evolving kids and we've been gamers ever since. We got this...sorta. Either way, we attempt to play and answer some questions from you guys, as well as talk about turning 30!

Similar to our 21 questions episode, we play a round of Would You Rather where we go back and forth asking each other some fun questions...and then some sorta iffy weird ones. These are the episodes where we are just being ourselves and we have the most fun doing! Feel free to play along!

Coming back from our week off, we start our series on Women's/Mental Health. Gemma opens up about her journey and struggle with PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) and her diagnosis. By her sharing her story, we hope to create awareness and share with the PCOS/infertility community. You're not alone. ::Instagram: twopeas_andapodcast —— GEMMA'S PERSONAL JOURNEY INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/simplementegemma/

In this real and raw episode we both open up about our own personal struggles with depression and anxiety. We talk about where it began for us and share some of our coping skills. We also dive into where we are as a society when it comes to mental health and how important it is to be kind to one another! This is us. We wanted to be as real as we could, to spread awareness. If you or someone you know is dealing with depression you're not alone. We are here to listen and we've also attached some links of free hotlines and help!

Body shaming and unrealistic body expectations is where society and hollywood have failed us. We come in all different shapes and sizes. Our body image can stem from eating disorders, addiction, trauma, disease, cancer and more! It's never our place to judge where someone is in life, specifially in this episode, weight and body image wise. Your words are very powerful. Keep them to yourself if they're anything but kind. You never know what that person is dealing with and how hard they try to lose/gain weight. Also, PSA...it's none of your damn business. IG: twopeas_andapodcast

After a week off and 3 serious episodes back to back, we did a midnight podcast after having a couple drinks. We just catch up with you guys about the last 2 weeks and do some quizzes. We hope you just enjoy kicking back with us on this more laid back episode!

We tackle some advice seeking columns on Reddit and read from the Missed Connections column on Craigslist giving our two cents and our opinions based on personal experiences. Let's be real though, we also got some good laughs from it. Let us know if you enjoy this type of episode because we really enjoyed this one and would love to do more!
