    drew afualo drama, meg's dating update & the ariana grande conversation | episode 54

    We get into the drama between Drew Afualo and ER Fightmaster and the wider conversation it sparked around cis and trans women. We talk through the different perspectives at play and what the discourse reveals about how these conversations tend to go online. Erica also has a special surprise for viewers this week, so you'll want to stick around for that one. From there we tackle a tender question: how much time is actually appropriate before moving on after a partner passes away, and why there's no clean answer. Meg shares a dating app update as she keeps navigating putting herself out there. We close on Ariana Grande's petal music video and her recent appearance, and the wave of comments it triggered around her body. 🎙️ Fingers Crossed is a female friendship podcast with honest chats about mental health and life, hosted by Erica and Megan chapters: 00:00 intro 01:18 drew afualo er fightmaster drama 07:08 tiara time 13:37 how soon to move on 21:21 meg dating app update 25:59 ariana grande music video petal 31:58 outro

    meet viv! our south australia road trip, meg's dating app debut & how emotional neglect shapes attachment | episode 53

    There's a new addition to the family. Erica got a papillon puppy named Vivienne, or Viv for short, and she and Meg made a big road trip to South Australia to bring her home. We talk all about the trip, the new puppy chaos, and the joy of a little one entering the picture. Meg has also joined a dating app, so Erica steps in with some advice as she navigates putting herself out there.  We then get into a deeper conversation about avoidant attachment and the memory issues that can come from emotional neglect in childhood.  🎙️ Fingers Crossed is a female friendship podcast with honest chats about mental health and life, hosted by Erica and Megan chapters: 00:00 intro 03:45 road trip to get a puppy 19:31 meg joined a dating app 30:20 avoidant attachment and memory 41:08 outro

    ghosts and other irrational fears, erica’s skincare rant & meg’s pet peeves | episode 52

    We're getting into some of our favourite things and some of our least favourite this week. We kick off with the ASMRtists we can't stop watching and what makes a good one, before Erica launches into a full rant about skincare and everything that winds her up about it. From there we talk BBLs and where we land on the whole conversation around them. The back half is all about the stuff that gets under our skin. We share our most irrational fears and rational ones like erica’s valid fear of ghosts and some ghost stories and the pet peeves that drive mostly meg up the wall. It's a lighter, funnier episode with plenty of tangents, so settle in. 🎙️ Fingers Crossed is a female friendship podcast with honest chats about mental health and life, hosted by Erica and Megan.

    processing grief and pet loss, gold digger discourse & being comfortable with affection | episode 51

    This is a tender one. Erica recently had to make the heartbreaking decision to put her beloved German Shepherd Raffy down, so we spend some time talking about grief, what pet loss actually feels like, and why the love we have for our animals runs so deep. It's an honest conversation about loss and letting go, and the particular ache of saying goodbye to a companion who was there through so much. From there we move into a gold digger debate from reddit and what it really says about relationships and money, share our thoughts on male gynaecologists and talk about being comfortable with affection, where that comfort comes from, and why some of us find it harder than others. 🎙️ Fingers Crossed is a female friendship podcast with honest chats about mental health and life, hosted by Erica and Megan. chapters: 00:00 intro 04:47 losing a pet 16:16 story from reddit 31:05 alex reads tarot drama 33:19 male gynos 36:44 being comfortable with affection 41:06 outro

    our 50th episode: what a year taught us, initiating in relationships & the fear of being seen | episode 50

    It's our 50th episode and the week after our one year anniversary, so we're taking some time to look back on the year that was. We talk about our favourite moments, what we've learnt, and how we've each changed along the way. Meg opens up about her fear of being seen, which launches us into a bigger conversation about why so many women are afraid of initiating in relationships and where that hesitation actually comes from. We get into how someone can be deeply spiritual and still wrestle with insecurities, like tying self worth to appearance, and why those two things aren't as contradictory as they seem. It's a reflective, honest episode about growth, visibility, and the parts of ourselves we're still learning to accept. It's also a bittersweet one, as it's the final episode with Erica's dog Raffy by her side. 🎙️ Fingers Crossed is a female friendship podcast with honest chats about mental health and life, hosted by Erica and Megs. 📩 email us your thoughts: fingerscrossedthepodcast@gmail.com chapters: 00:00 intro 01:07 raffy update 04:42 our favourite moments 07:56 avoidants laughter coping mechanism 09:45 fear of being seen 27:20 3 things we’ve learnt in the past year 46:30 how we’ve changed 58:44 outro

    the very best of fingers crossed 🎉 | episode 49

    We can't believe it, but Fingers Crossed is officially one year old. To celebrate, we've pulled together all our funniest moments from the past year in one very best of episode. The unhinged tangents, the uncontrollable laughing fits, the takes that made no sense, and the bits that still make us laugh every time we think about them. It's an hour of us at our most ridiculous, so if you need a proper laugh or you want to relive the chaos, this is the one. Thank you for spending a whole year laughing along with us.

    a mish mash of moments: the clips that didn't fit anywhere else | episode 48

    Meg's away this week, so we're doing something a little different. This episode is a mish mash of clips and conversations that were too good to leave on the cutting room floor but didn't quite fit into other episodes. Think of it as a grab bag of tangents, hot takes, and moments that deserved their own airtime. It's a looser, more relaxed listen than usual, but sometimes the offcuts are maybe shouldn’t have been cut at all. Consider it a little in between treat while we're back to our regular format next week. 🎙️ Fingers Crossed is a female friendship podcast with honest chats about mental health and life, hosted by Erica and Megs. 📩 email us your thoughts: fingerscrossedthepodcast@gmail.com chapters: 00:00 intro 00:34 ep. 39 05:35 ep. 30 10:49 ep. 41 13:08 ep. 32 14:00 ep. 37 23:04 ep. 35 24:13 ep. 38 26:15 ep. 43 30:33 outro

    you need cardio, subway takes, a huge creator's passive aggressive meltdown & high self-esteem | ep. 47

    We get into why cardio still matters even if your main focus is lifting weights, and why so many people skip it without realising what they're missing. Then we unpack a hot take from Subway Takes about uh…hands. We also talk about a huge creator with over a million followers who lashed out in the most passive aggressive way possible after a much smaller creator critiqued their wedding flowers. It's a wild example of how people can package cruelty as moral superiority. The back half of the episode is all about self-esteem: how to actually build it and what to do when you run into people who try to cut you down. It's an honest look at confidence, criticism, and protecting your sense of self when someone's actively trying to shrink it. 🎙️ Fingers Crossed is a female friendship podcast with honest chats about mental health and life, hosted by Erica and Megs. 📩 email us your thoughts: fingerscrossedthepodcast@gmail.com chapters: 00:00 intro 01:10 cardio importance 05:27 subway takes: hands debate 14:41 big creators lashing out 24:01 high self-esteem and the experience of it 43:31 outro
