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

  Jan 31, 202648 min

  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 list Pick 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.).

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

  Jan 5, 202655 min

  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.
