Unhinged with Phoebe Parsons

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

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

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 instagram confidently and smoothly, with the hope of getting booty'. Look at us redefining courtship and forming meaningful human connection one finger tap at a time... what a time to be alive.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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

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

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 had plenty of new financial year resolutions that I intended on achieving. But all of those resolutions came to a screeching halt, and it was then I remembered exactly why I no longer believe in setting resolutions...  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

**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 dietetics. I'm just a girl who likes to train hard and eat harder. If you follow me on instagram, you'll already know that I consider Halo Top a food group, am a smoothie connoisseur and consume so much caffeine I swear it's in my blood  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 they're also responsible from helping you go from a training bra to a triumph bra.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 universe throws me a curveball (which let's be honest, is every other day) I still forgot to duck.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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... health and fitness. I understand the difference between pre-biotics and pro-biotics, know my kombucha from my Kim Chi and am genuinely one of those freaks who hand over heart LOVES to exercise. Burpees - bring em on, tuck jumps - come at me, squat jumps - yassssss kweeeeen.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
