Jessica Böhme is a sustainability scientist, transformation researcher, and founder of the Institute for Practical Eco Philosophy. Jessica shares her journey of exploring the connection between inner transformation and outer change, and how this quest has influenced her personal and professional life. She delves into the concept of living philosophically, the role of relational philosophies, and how they impact sustainability. We discuss the challenges she faced in academia, the significance of personal practices, and her innovative idea of 'philosophy gyms' aimed at integrating philosophy into everyday life for better ecological and business practices. Jessica also talks about her unique lifestyle choices, her artwork, and the broader implications of living a thoughtful, engaged life. This insightful conversation will inspire anyone interested in philosophy, sustainability, and the quest for a meaningful life.
