About this listen

Welcome to "A Fine Human," a podcast about what it means to live with curiosity, courage, and a whole lot of heart. I'm your host, Alexandra Fine—Co-Founder and CEO of Dame, and a lifelong seeker of what makes us feel truly good. Here, I’ll be sitting down with fascinating guests—and sometimes just with myself—to explore how we align with our values, our desires, and our most authentic selves. We’ll talk about pleasure, purpose, discomfort, and joy. Because being human is complex, and beautiful, and often a little messy—and I believe leaning into all of it helps us live more fully. This is about asking better questions, not having perfect answers. So, let’s get curious together. This is A Fine Human.Copyright 2025 Alexandra Fine Economics Hygiene & Healthy Living Leadership Management & Leadership Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Relationships Social Sciences
