Phoebe’s column

It’s finally here, my 30th birthday! I gotta tell you when I was a little kid of maybe 12 or so, it never even felt like I would get to 18. Not being morbid or anything, it’s just at that age you can’t really get a clear grip on the future and your sense of […]

You ever have one of those days where you just feel like you’ve stuffed your life up? I remember having a lot of them. I would just kind of find myself sitting at work, on my couch or on the bus home and have this horribly sad moment where it felt like I had missed […]

I‘ve read more and more articles lately about the topic of women choosing not to have children. Whenever I see an article about it, the first thing I do after reading it is to scroll through the comments and see what other people think.

If you’ve been checking out my Instagram and Facebook lately, you’ll know I’ve been working on a really exciting, super-secret project in Hanoi. While the details are under wraps (for now) I’ve been sharing a little bit of the action through my Insta-stories, casually and subtly dropping hints about what I may or may not […]

It has been a really big year and when I take a second to pause and realise 2016 is nearly over, it doesn’t quite seem real. Didn’t this year just start? Weren’t we just in June? How the heck did we get to the end of the year so quick? I have no clue. At […]
