About the Series
What’s Your Advice? is a monthly conversation hosted by Zen teacher Nicole Baden Roshi. Each guest – a visionary from the fields of science, spirituality, art, or activism – is asked one question: “What is your advice for the world today?” No formulas. No performances. Just real voices, real values, and personal truth. This is not a podcast. It’s a living inquiry.
