Unhinged with Phoebe Parsons

Thou shalt remember, that there is no force more powerful, than that of a girl squad.   According to the dictionary... well like, Urban Dictionary, a girl squad is: A fearless group of ladies who exude self confidence and help build their sistas up, not tear them down. Amen.

Thou shalt remember that life is about the journey, not the destination. They say travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer... but in my case, it's always been the opposite. Whether it's forking out for an international doctor and private hotel room after contracting a mystery hybrid of gastro and the flu in Tokyo, or acutely misinterpreting the currency in Vanuatu and unknowingly buy...

To wrap up Season 5, Phoebe hit the stage with a room full of fans for the first ever live episode of Confessions of a Twenty Something Train Wreck.

Thou shalt remember, that when it comes to talk, go big or go home   I have to admit, that there aren't many things I'm afraid of. Growing up in Australia, I'm accustom to our fatal fauna and don't so much as even flinch when I see a snake or a spider. And don't even get me started on sharks, in fact, it's quite the opposite. Come to think of it, the only things I can really think of that sca...

Thou shalt remember that what happens in your adolescence, doesn't always stay in your adolescence.  You know the one thing that's harder than being in your twenties? Being in your teens. Without the risk of sounding dramatic, if someone offered me a million dollars to go back and do it again, I'd turn it down faster than Lil John. I've done my time and quite frankly, couldn't be happier to h...

Thou shalt remember, that self love is the best medicine  While beautiful in theory, the issue I have with that statement is, I don't have time to pick up a prescription. While I'm big on the concept of self-love, unfortunately what I'm short on, is the time to actively practice it. Go figure.

Thou shalt remember, that you'll always remember your first... There are a few major milestones in life, that I look back on as freedom defining moments.

Thou shalt remember, that if you wanna be my lover, you gotta slide into my DM's...   If there are two things the millennial generation have nailed, it's our ability to smash avo like a boss, and slide into DM's more effortlessly than the Goo Goo Dolls.    According to the dictionary - lol urban dictionary - 'Slide into the DM's' is: When you send a direct message to someone on inst...

Thou shalt remember, to squat.. Because no one wrote a song about a small booty… Being a fit girl goes a little something like this… “I’m hungry, I’m tired, I’m fine, my legs hurt, leave me alone, come here, peanut butter, cardio, I’m bloated, food, love me”... Something my OG fans will remember me touching on back in season 2…

Thou shalt remember, that an unplanned haircut is a cry for help. If stress burnt calories, I'd be a Victoria's Secret model... but unfortunately, the only thing it does for me, is lead me to extremely impaired, and some would say 'rash' decision making.

Thou shalt remember, that the only two certainties in life are death and taxes. When it comes to taxes, I don't have the best track record. But last year, I decided it was high time I ripped off the bandaid, and bossed 6 years worth of tax returns in one foul swoop, and boy did it feel good to have it together... well, momentarily. I thought this year would be a walk in the proverbial park, and I...

**Disclaimer** This episode discusses food and eating - please skip if this is triggering for you. Thou shalt remember, to always take what this Train Wreck says with a grain of pink Himalayan sea salt...   Before we get started, I wanted to preface this episode by disclosing the fact that I am not a nutritionist, dietician or health coach and I have no qualifications pertaining to food or di...

Thou shalt remember, that hell hath no fury, like that of a hormonal woman    They say it takes two to tango, but it only takes one to go troppo... amirite girls? Yep, I'm talking about the dreaded h word, hormones.     You first meet them in your teens, and curse them for giving you more pimples than a proactive solution commercial, but then forgive them when you realise...

Thou shalt remember, that bad days make great stories    There are some days, you just should not participate in life, and I just had 7 of them... in a row. Last week, I had a pretty rough trot, and if you follow me on instagram, you would have seen the succession of blows I took - how am I still standing? At this point in my life, you'd think I'd be used to it... but every time the univ...

Thou shalt remember, that if it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you... When it comes to everyday life skills, there are very few I can confidently say I slay. Cooking - nup, cleaning - forget about it, budgeting... lol. But, despite how many times I burn rice, run out of petrol in peak hour traffic or max out a credit card... there's one area of my life I dominate like Christian Grey... hea...

Thou shalt remember, that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. If you tuned in last week, you'll know that a.) Sadly, I'll never land the starring role in Tinderella and b.) I really shook it up. I decided it was high time I gave my girl gang some hard earned time off, and I decided to get amongst the guys. One small step for this woman, one big step for women everywhere.

Thou shalt remember that being single is all fun and games until you realise it's a never ending cycle of getting to know someone, until they eventually stop texting you, then they watch your instagram story every day until you die... Dating in your 20s is no easy feat... something I've touched on once or twice before...

Thou shalt remember, that handbags speak louder than words. You can tell a lot about a woman by her handbag. But because my mother was the kind of woman who taught me never to judge a book by its cover, I want to get deep and really delve below the surface.

Thou shalt remember that nothing will ruin your 20s more than thinking you should have your life together. When Charles Dickens wrote, “it was the best of times it was the worst of times” he must have been talking about his twenties. That glorious, yet tumultuous time when you’re awkwardly straddling childhood and adulthood, trying desperately to officially make the transition from doe-eyed depend...

Thou shalt remember... always a bridesmaid, never a bride. It's the day every girl spends her whole life dreaming about... the big white dress, the triple tiered spiced red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting and the man of your dreams waiting for you at the end of the aisle...

Thou shalt remember, always show up... even if you throw up...

Thou shalt remember that beauty comes from within... within boxes, tubes and bottles... When it comes to beauty, I'm the first to admit, that I'm an absolute mass of contradictions. Having spent the first half of my career as a beauty editor - where my job was literally trialling the never ending slew of brand new products that would wash up on my desk, you'd think by now I'd be the beauty whisper...

Thou shalt remember - don't just go to the party, be the party.  There are two kinds of girls in the world... those who fit in, and those who stand out. No second guessing which category I fall into…

Thou Shalt Remember, that life is not a fairytale... and if you lose your shoe at midnight, it just means you're drunk. When it comes to fairytales, I'm kind of on the fence. While I've had plenty of Once Upon A Times, every single one of them has ended in a Happily NEVER after... suffice to say, I'm a little bit sceptical. Do you really blame me though? I honestly swear I'm one dick pic and DM sl...

Thou shalt remember, if you don't change your mind as often as your underwear, do you still have one?   If I had a dollar for every time I stopped to contemplate where the f*ck my life was going, I would have $480 thousand dollars.
