On this episode of the Balance Boldly Podcast with Naketa R. Thigpen, there was an urgency to speak to someone with a mind to not only do good work, but someone who does that work with both high integrity and a full sense of self. All too often, great people with good intentions, show up to their work with only half of themselves. Often feeling like they need to hide portions of themselves for fear that the clients or even teammates simply wouldn’t understand them. Perhaps they’d even judge them for being so enthusiastic, optimistic, or upbeat. Not this guest! Our featured expert this week is Kirsten M. Toler, a Tax Senior Manager with Friedman LLP. She has over 25 years of combined experience effectively balanced between public accounting and private industry, focused mainly on client service and tax. Kirsten is also energetic, informative, and true to her core. Kirsten takes us inside her journey with a look at a unique professional career path that led her to incorporate her passion for understanding and strengthening emotional intelligence. Her intention to bring her full self to work and avoid exhausting herself with over compartmentalizing her gifts, helped to decrease the stress that goes with the joys of mothering teenagers and being a doting wife on top of her full investment in clients at work. Tune in and hear how to stay true to your core and maximize your potential! More about KirstenKirsten has a diverse background and is known by some as a Rockstar CPA and Strategist. When she’s not spending her time working with clients, loving on her husband, children, and family; Kirsten makes room to speak at the Girl’s Career Institute, as a Mentor on the Gail Bierbaum Rider Women’s Leadership Council, and Subject Matter Expert Panelist for UBS ‘Monetizing Your Life’s Work’ program.

Emotional Eating Healer and Founder of Escape From Emotional Eating®, Jessica Procini shares her personal struggle with food and finding her fierce! Once Jessica dug deep into her own healing work and understood that health is wealth wasn’t just a rhythmic hashtag, she created her balance by sharing over 10 years of that work with others facing a similar struggle. On this episode of the Balance Boldly Podcast for Ambitious Women in Business (and a few brave men), Jessica Procini sits down with host, Naketa R. Thigpen to discuss why so many of us use food to fill our personal voids and how we can overcome it. More about JessicaJessica is on a mission to help others use food as fuel rather than a way to cope, soothe or escape their busy, stressful life. She consciously created and specifically designed Escape From Emotional Eating from over a decade of research and her own emotional eating journey because Overeaters Anonymous didn’t. Resonate and therapy wasn’t enough when it came to getting help to fully end her fight with food.Now being 100% free from her compulsions with food, she helps others do the same through all her levels of support, such as her retreats, called The ESCAPE, her year-long transformational programs and through her various public, talks, events and workshops.Jessica has been awarded the “Top Health Coach Award” by the Institute of Psychology of Eating three years in a row and has been featured on various media outlets such as CBS, Philadelphia Magazine and MindBodyGreen just to name a few.
