About

Modern Human exists because conversations about wellbeing have become too shallow, too optimised, and too performative. There is a need for something more honest, more grounded, and more useful to people navigating the real pressures of modern work and life.

Modern Human takes a long view. Because the decisions that shape a life, around work, health, identity, ambition, and the expectations we carry, rarely resolve themselves quickly. They compound. And paying attention to them matters.

Modern Human publishes multi-part series of considered writing, each exploring a single question in depth. Grounded in data, written with honesty, and designed to sit with the reader rather than resolve things neatly.

Modern Human is led by Beverley Wedderburn, an executive coach, strategic adviser, and founder of PURPOSE Life Coaching & Consulting, based in London.

Modern Human welcomes collaboration with practitioners, researchers, and brands whose work sits in the same territory. If something here resonates and you want to explore a conversation, get in touch.
