Modern Advice Podcast
Welcome to the Modern Advice Podcast with your Host, Phoebe Kuhn; Storyteller, Entrepreneur & Gonzo Journalist. I travel the world exploring what it means to be human, immersing myself in anything unconventional, all in the name of personal growth… and of course, to get the story. I do it for the plot and I tend to go to the extreme.
In this Podcast, we are going to explore a range of topics from philosophy and psychology, to relationships, sexuality, personal evolution & wellness.
I love deep conversations and shifting perspectives on the taboo. If you know me in real life, you know exactly what I’m talking about. In this Podcast, I hope to do just that. This will be a space where you can learn, laugh, and grow. In our Ask Phoebe segment, I will be answering YOUR questions on anything from friendship and dating to travel, purpose and work. You are shaping this conversation so make sure you send your questions in voice memo format to phoebe@modernadvicepodcast.com.
I’m so excited to embark on this journey of the human experience with you.
