Ep. 283: From Facing 65 Years to Life To CEO of Glamazon Beauty - Kim Baker’s Breakthrough

Today marks Kim Baker’s third visit to the show—because her story is one of resilience, reinvention, and transformation. From facing a chilling sentence of 65 years to life, Kim emerged to become a pioneering plus-size model with Wilhelmina, working alongside icons like Kevyn Aucoin and Way Bandy.

She went on to launch Glamazon Beauty, a brand that celebrates inclusive beauty. Now, her story is moving in front of the camera: she’s developing a major film about her journey—one that’s just as inspiring, hard-hitting, and cinematic as her life itself.

We Chatted About:

• The life-or-death moment that changed everything... and how it shaped her purpose.

• Breaking into modeling and redefining standards as a plus-size pioneer.

• The birth of Glamazon Beauty: inclusivity, innovation, and inspiration.

• Behind the brand: leadership, product evolution, and growing a beauty empire.

• The upcoming film: why her story deserves the spotlight and how it’s coming together.

• What’s next for a survivor-turned-CEO as she builds, innovates, and inspires.
