Unhinged with Phoebe Parsons

Hello Dolls, and welcome to another Sustainability Sunday. Can I quickly just say before we get into this weeks episode, that I am absolutely shooketh to my core at the amazing response I've received to these new episodes. I know they're a little bit left of centre and very different to what I normally do, but I am so damn thrilled that you've embraced sustainability in the same way that I have. N...

Thou shalt remember, that if at first you don't succeed, try doing what your personal trainer told you to do the first time...    When it comes to health and fitness, there's a lot of conflicting information out there. But, plot twist. The loudest noise is usually made by the ones who aren't qualified to even be speaking. One magazine is telling us to go keto, while some chick on instagr...

Before we get into today's Sustainability Sunday episode, I just wanted to do a bit of housekeeping to ask whether or not you liked the format of the additional episode. Do you like the shorter more bite sized episodes or would you prefer them to be longer like the normal Train Wreck Tuesday episodes? I actually have some really cool interviews coming up for the next few Sustainability Sunday epis...

Thou shalt remember, that each time a woman stands up for herself, she stands up for all women    So all those in favour of some feminism chats, please say 'I'. iiiiiiiiiiiiiii. If you caught last weeks episode, you'll know exactly what's about to happen. And if you missed last weeks episode, firstly, shame on you, and secondly, do yourself a favour and catch up now - listen here. That's...

Todays Sustainability Sunday episode is about one of my favourite things in the whole entire world... dum dum dum dummmmmmmm coffee - which I love everything about. I love the smell of it. I love the taste of it. I love the warm feel of it in my hands. I standing in line for it. I love ordering it. I love it black. I love it with almond milk. I love it hot. I love it iced. But there is just one ti...

Thou shalt remember, to never judge a book by it's cover, and never judge a babe by hers either...    It's one of the very first lessons we're taught in life, but ironically, it also seems to be one of the very first lessons we forget in life.   But when it comes to judging a book by its cover, no one understands more than Abbie Chatfield. The former bachelor contestant copped an ab...

Today's sustainability Sunday episode was actually requested by a listener on instagram who asked if I could talk about fast fashion. And yes Doll, we absolutely can because this topic is one that I think interests a lot of people. And just quickly while we're on that, I'm always open to suggestions from you guys, so if you do ever have any ideas or suggestions for the podcast, please please pleas...

Thou shalt remember that life begins when diets end   No, you're not having a mad sense of dejavu, that is in fact the same commandment I pedalled to you all last week when I sat down with sports dietician Leanne Ward to talk all things toxic diets. But because we got so carried away with conversation (what else do you expect when you put two podcasters in a room alone in a room together with...

Thou shalt remember, that life begins when diets end...    If toxic diets were an Olympic sport, I'd have a gold medal. But after 30 years of hardcore competing, I've decided it's high time for me to hang up my restrictive boots and officially retire. That's right kweens, you heard it here first... I am done with diets, and after this episode - I hope you will be too! Disclaimer, the fol...

Thou shalt remember, that good hair speaks louder than words  As someone who literally gets paid to speak, I can't believe I just said that... but it's true. Your hair is the crown you never take off, and you kweens already know how I feel about crowns. So this week, I've called upon the experts again, to debunk some of the most common hair myths going 'round so we can do our hair toss a la l...

Thou shalt remember, that the greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it... Hands up those of you who are 348% done with unrealistic and superficial New Years resolutions? FYI, both of my hands are up. I'm not even going to try and kid myself into thinking new year new me, because we all know... new year, same train wreck. Seriously, I haven't had my car serviced in...

Thou shalt remember, that behind every successful woman, is herself...  In the wise words of Sophia Amoruso... aka the OG Girl Boss - A girl boss is in charge of her own life and she gets what she wants because she works for it. And can I just say... Amen. It's not an easy life, nor is it always comfortable or secure, but you know what... I wouldn't have but any other way.  Follow Phoebe...

Thou shalt remember, that a lot can happen in a year...   If I had to sum 2019 up in one word, I would say - eventful. Wait, strike that. Eventful is a gross understatement. When I look back and reflect on the roller coaster of events that unfolded in just 12 short months, I would honestly go as far to say that 2019 has been my biggest year yet. The highs were some of the highest highs I've e...

Thou shalt remember that becoming an adult was the dumbest thing I've ever done    Being an adult is kind of like folding a fitted sheet. No one actually knows how to do it, but we all keep trying anyway in the hope that one day we'll miraculously figure it out. Spoiler alert - you won't. I've been trying for 30 years now, and the only thing I've learnt is... ummm. Hmmm. Come on, surely...

Thou shalt remember, that you are what you listen to   They say you're the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with - so choose wisely. But I say, you're the sum of the 5 songs you listen to the most - so tune wisely. Well, I guess the proof is in the playlist...  Follow Phoebe on Instagram @phoebeacp or join the Train Wreck Podcast Community Facebook group.  Want to hear mo...

Thou shalt remember, that girls just wanna have guns     There aren't many things in life I'm good at... and the 94 episodes that stand before this one are cold hard proof. But if there's one thing I can confidently say I've got totally handled, it's fitness. Seriously. I speak to my F45 trainers more than my own family, spend all of my lunch breaks at Reformer Pilates and will pace...

Thou shalt remember, that there's no such thing as a silly question.    They say that curiosity is one of the greatest secrets to happiness. But I say, curiosity is one of the greatest secrets to nailing a good podcast. Blame the journalist in me, but I've never met a question I didn't like, and as the OG listeners would be well aware by now, I like to test these questions to the masses....

When it comes to personality types, there are few that are as obsessive or addictive as mine - sorry not sorry. But instead of squashing it, I've pulled an Oprah, and I've made a whole show of it. The only real difference is, because my budgets are marginally smaller than hers, unfortunately you won't be walking away with an arm full of Phoebe's favourite things. But without sounding too much of a...

Thou shalt remember, that success is the sum of small life hacks   One of the scariest things about adulthood, is growing up and realising that life doesn't come with an instruction manual. It's a bitter pill to swallow, but at the same time it's also quite comforting to know that no one actually knows what they're doing. Like literally no one. We're all here just doing the best we can trying...

Thou Shalt Remember, that style is objective, and so is a mans opinion    When it comes to fashion, us gals already know that women dress for other women, duhhhh. And on the occasions we do want to dress for a man, we again already know that the best thing we can wear is nothing at all... amirite boys? But this week, after getting into a very heated debate about red lipstick, curiosity g...

Thou Shalt Remember, that no matter the problem, Taylor Swift is the answer. When it comes to life advice... firstly god knows I need it, and secondly there's only one person I'm willing to take it from. Kween Tay Tay. Whether it's relationship advice, career advice or make-up advice... (like, have your ever seen a sharper eyeliner wing) Taylor is my go-to girl. And sorry not sorry, but today, she...

Thou shalt remember, that there's no such thing as a wrong answer... There are few things in life I love more than kicking back with a fab friend and a cold beer for a good old fashioned game of would you rather. And judging by the never ending bombard of DM's I received in response to Would You Rather Part 1 a few weeks ago, I'm clearly not the only one who thinks so! So get set for another 30-mi...

If you think you're suffering with anxiety or depression, speak to your GP, and if you need support visit Beyond Blue Thou Shalt Remember, that it's okay not to be okay   You guys know that I'm not one to shy away from conversation. I could literally talk until the cows came home... and I could keep talking until they'd eaten dinner, had a shower and tucked themseleves into their little...
