Episode #27 with Special Guest Jennifer Baker, PH.D

Episode #27 with Special Guest Jennifer Baker, PH.D

Today's episode is with Dr. Jennifer Baker a Professor of Philosophy at the College of Charleston.  She teaches classes around the subject of ethics and philosophies of ethics in business, and medicine.   She has published articles on Stoicism an ancient philosophical practice dating circa 260 BC.  Stoicism is from the Hellenistic (classical) period and practiced by many Roman leaders such as Marcus Arelius, and Epictitus.  Stoicism has recently seen a rebirth and has gained many modern writers on the subject.  You can find social media outlets, podcasts and youtube channels dedicated to the practice.  What is notable about this podcast is that the philosophy is generally a space that men mostly occupy, but women have begun to prescribe and follow this ancient practice.  I am one of those women as is my guest.  

I hope you enjoy this podcast.  If you would like to learn more you can go to the podcast Facebook page and find a link to an article Dr. Baker wrote about practicing Stoicism in modern life.  It is a very good read!

This week my guest is Kim M Riley.  She can be found on Facebook.  

Kim is passionate about empowering women in their midlife years (40s to 60s) who are stuck in overwhelm, stress or confusion to discover their hearts' desire, speak their truth and purpose, and have greater impact in their lives…. and to do so without apology or excuses. Her key in helping women do this is to bring out the playful, fully-expressed girl inside… wigs, props, imagination and all!

Kim is a life transition and relationship coach trained in Strategic Intervention coaching, a method taught by Anthony Robbins that focuses on our universal human needs and taking simple actions that have immediate effect in how we respond to, communicate with and be in relationship with others in our lives. She is also a certified Level 2 Teacher of the Art of Feminine Presence and loves teaching her clients simple body-centered practices that help them amplify their feminine and magnetic presence and support them in exploring their unique power and wisdom.

For over 30 years, Kim worked in the field of public health education where she gained invaluable lessons working with disadvantaged communities. She has an insatiable curiosity about people and other cultures and has travelled to over 48 countries and lived in two. She is an outdoor enthusiast who is blessed and grateful to have grown up and continue to live in her home state of Colorado. She resides in Denver with her husband of 30 years and has two grown daughters.
