Unhinged with Phoebe Parsons

Thou shalt remember, that the best lessons in life, are the ones you haven't learnt yet...   In my life, I can confidently say I've learnt plenty of lessons. Some I've learnt myself...  Some I've learnt from others... And some, I've learnt from the professionals... And those are the ones I'm going to pass onto you today...   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thou shalt remember that gratitude is the best attitude    Just like activated charcoal, turmeric and oil pulling, gratitude is a practice that's currently trending in the wellness world. But unlike swishing coconut oil in my mouth for 20 minutes, or massaging charcoal onto my face, this is a trend I think I can actually get on board with. But I'm not doing it alone, obviously. Hey Meg, let's go get a wine...   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thou shalt remember, that your best teacher is your last mistake... unless you make it again If mistakes were like martial arts, I'd have a black belt. They say when you make a mistake, there are three things you should do about it. Admit it, learn from it, and don't repeat it. I've got the admission part down pat - heck, I should change the name of this podcast to confessions of an unashamed mistake maker, but the last two, I can't seem to wrap my head around... Sorry, did you say repeat it?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thou shalt remember that my advice, is never to listen to my advice... Okay, that was a bit harsh, but here's a analogy I prepared earlier. My advice is best served like tequila... take it with a grain of salt. Despite very publicly confessing my biggest shortcomings week after week, I'm 90% flattered and 10% flabbergasted that you guys still slide into my DM's to seek my inexpert advice. Honestly, Team Train Wreck for president. So this week, I put the power in your hands, and gave you the opportunity ask me anything you wanted.  Just to be clear, not a single one of you asked for financial or culinary advice... I wonder why...  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thou shalt remember, that the S in PMS stands for satan, not syndrome.    While I'm no doctor, there are a few basic medical rules I have pretty down pat. Feed a fever, starve a cold, and give PMS whatever the hell it wants. And just to be on the safe side, probably make sure that it's also dipped in chocolate.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 buying a dress for $500, I always come home from my international jaunts with a heart bursting with memories and a visa bill to match.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 scare me are carbs and commitment. That was until I recently discovered my biggest and most irrational fear of all...   Hang on though, we need a rose to get through this one.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 have left braces, awkward social interactions with the opposite sex and curfews behind. But despite being out of the pubescent minefield for almost a decade, there's still one thing I haven't been able to totally rid... my pubescent skin.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
