  • How To Be a Resource For Your Community with Jennie Wetter, RePROs Fight Back

    How To Be a Resource For Your Community with Jennie Wetter, RePROs Fight Back
    Feb 1 2026
    How RePROs Fight Back uses podcasting to turn reproductive justice news into practical action.Jennie Wetter, host of the multi-award-winning podcast RePROs Fight Back (an initiative of the Population Institute), breaks down what reproductive justice actually means, far beyond the narrow “abortion-only” framing. We dig into how the show functions as a real, strategic tool for nonprofit work: keeping people informed, spotlighting community partners, and ending every episode with clear ways to fight back.We talk about building a podcast as a public resource, why “success” isn’t just downloads, and how to stay grounded when the issues feel like a constant fire hose. You’ll also get practical ideas for becoming a resource in your own community without burning out.Note: The first ~15–18 minutes include a ranty current-events catch-up recorded in late July 2025. I LOVE this part (it's cathartic!) If you prefer to jump to the self-care + strategy portion, skip ahead to around minute 18.Listener action listPick one and do it this week:Wear your values: grab merch that sparks conversations (tinyurl.com/reproFBmerch).Be the friend with receipts: bookmark accurate resources so you can point people to real clinics/info when needed.Check your state’s grade: explore reportcards.reprofightback.com and identify one area to push on locally.Support direct services: donate to or volunteer with local practical-support networks (transportation, childcare, clinic escorting, etc.).Go local: show up where policy becomes real—school board meetings, city council, state reps.Resources Mentioned:Planned ParenthoodChicago Women's Health CenterPopulation InstituteThe Money with Katie Show featuring Representative Katherine ClarkConnect With Jennie WetterRePROs Fight Back PodcastLinkedInInstagramMerch!

  • Balance, Boundaries, and Blob Time: Enneagram-Based Self-Care as Creative Leadership with Leigh Cambre

    Balance, Boundaries, and Blob Time: Enneagram-Based Self-Care as Creative Leadership with Leigh Cambre
    Jan 5 2026
    How do creative leaders build capacity in a sociopolitical Hellscape?

    In this episode of The Creative Impostor (Creativity and Media as Resistance), Andrea Klunder talks with small business coach Leigh Cambre about building leadership capacity during a difficult sociopolitical moment. Leigh defines resistance as supporting the frontline through boundaries, balance, and structurally designed self-care, especially scheduling "two slots of blob time" each week for judgment-free spontaneity. The conversation uses the Enneagram as a practical tool for identifying over-coping patterns that replicate into business leadership, reframes "follow your passion" advice with a more sustainable "money supports choices" sequence, and explores how compassion and self-knowledge reduce "us vs. them" thinking.

Recently PANTONE® released it's pick for 2026 Color of the Year -- Cloud Dancer, a lovely shade of... white? It left a lot of the internet feeling everything from flat to pure outrage. Why? In this conversation with art therapist and ethnographer Isabelle Rizo, we're jumping into the commentary and taking it deeper into cultural resonance, end-of-life art making and choosing your OWN color of the year.

    A Gut Check for Creators in These Times with Andrea Klunder
    Sep 22 2025

    Yeah... I'm over it too! But we need a game plan.

    As the internet erupts with extreme reactions over recent events, I am thinking about how to maintain our humanity and personal safety, while staying visible and vocal, amidst political chaos. Tune in for a grounded (I hope) discussion on how to navigate your role as a creator in turbulent times.
