About currently spiraling

currently spiraling is a podcast about what happens when life doesn't go according to plan. hosted by real housewives of orange county original cast member, jo de la rosa, each episode explores the plot twists, setbacks, and unexpected turns we never saw coming. from fertility journeys and career pivots to relationships, money, aging, self-worth, and starting over, currently spiraling is about the things women quietly spiral about, but rarely say out loud. through candid conversations, thoughtful interviews, and personal stories, jo explores the moments that leave us questioning everything and wondering what comes next. listeners leave feeling less alone, a little more equipped, and reminded that there is no perfect timeline. no pretending to have it all figured out. no pressure to have all the answers. just honest conversations with humor, perspective, hope, and a little unhinged energy. whether you're trying to conceive, navigating a major life transition, questioning your path, grieving the life you thought you'd have by now, or simply adjusting to a chapter you never expected, this show is your reminder that you're not behind. you're simply in the middle of your story. new episodes every wednesday.

   why are we so hard on ourselves? | ft. bethany dani

   we used to do shots at the club. now we're making botox appointments and wondering when the hell we actually grew up 😂 jo is joined by her best friend of 20 years, katy cook, for a hilarious and surprisingly emotional trip down memory lane - from their wild hollywood nights and questionable decisions to marriage, motherhood, changing friendships, and figuring out what growing up actually looks like, these two have seen each other through just about every version of life - and apparently, they still have a few stories left to tell.

   it's not too late to start over

   what happens when you stumble across advice from your younger self and realize you might actually need to hear it again? while going through old youtube videos, jo finds a video she recorded in 2020, back when she had just turned 40, walked away from a decade long career, and was figuring out how to start over after two broken engagements. six years later, she's pressing play on five lessons about putting yourself first, trusting your gut, loving yourself, asking for help, and believing it's never too late to build a different life. and apparently, 40 year old jo had some pretty good advice.

   there's nothing to fix because nothing is broken | ft. christie val

   pretending you have it together ft. colette wixom

   how put together you look and how you actually feel can be two completely different things. this week, jo is joined by her friend colette wixom, who is usually the person everyone assumes has it together. except sometimes life piles up quietly until one completely ordinary thing sends you over the edge and suddenly you’re hysterically crying at 6:30 in the morning. so naturally, we’re making the quarterly cry a thing 😂

   spiraling about cancer, fake boobs, and broken engagements | ft. bess willis

   what happens when the friend who’s been beside you through every version of your life suddenly enters a season neither of you saw coming? jo and bess have been friends for more than 10 years, through broken engagements, couch sleeping eras, marriages, babies and more versions of themselves than either of them can probably count - and now, they’re walking through breast cancer. this week, bess joins the group chat to talk about her diagnosis, double mastectomy and reconstruction, but also about friendship and what it really means to show up for someone you love when there’s absolutely nothing you can do to fix what they’re going through.

   spiraling about birthdays, getting older & being enough

   what if getting older doesn’t mean we’re supposed to have everything figured out by now? jo just turned 46, and somewhere between the birthday reflection, krispy kremes, goldfish and a hot pink feather blazer in bed, we started spiraling about all the things we thought we would have by this age - and whether constantly trying to become a “better” version of ourselves has quietly convinced us that who we are right now isn’t enough.

   spiraling about infidelity, overthinking, and starting over ft. leslie ryan

   sometimes starting over isn’t the scary part, it’s admitting that the life you already know might not be the life you’re supposed to stay in. this week, we’re joined by our first currently spiraling guest, leslie ryan - an entrepreneur and coach for women who want to stop overthinking and start trusting themselves more - for a conversation about infidelity, divorce, self-trust, and what happens when the life you planned starts looking very different from the life you actually want.

    spiraling about 45 & trying to get pregnant

    trying to get pregnant is already emotional. trying to get pregnant when everyone keeps reminding you that time is running out is a whole different spiral. this week, we’re finally talking about jo’s fertility journey: starting to try later, the judgment around getting pregnant at an older age, finding an unexpected community of women going through the same thing, and what happened when one doctor delivered the news she wasn’t prepared to hear. because even though this is jo’s story, there are so many women quietly wondering the same things: did i wait too long? what if my body won’t cooperate? and what happens when getting pregnant doesn’t look anything like you thought it would?
