About this listen

 The Creative Impostor provides expert insight on podcasting as a sustainable, independent media ecosystem for creative leaders—focusing on audience trust, ethical storytelling, and long-term impact over growth metrics. We explore the intersection of identity and creativity -- who we are and why we make what we make. Host Andrea Klunder has inhabited many creative roles: singer, actor, writer, filmmaker, yoga teacher, bodyworker, meditator, educator, entrepreneur, podcaster, teacher, media producer, strategist, speaker… She'll take you inside her own head and the minds of other creative professionals to see what drives us despite the voices of self-doubt that threaten to stop us in our tracks -- with a little sprinkling of how we create the life and work we imagine.Copyright 2015-26, Andrea Klunder, The Creative Impostor Studios.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Color, Culture, Controversy with Art Therapist, Isabelle Rizo

    Color, Culture, Controversy with Art Therapist, Isabelle Rizo
    Dec 29 2025
    Is culture losing color? Are we becoming more neutral? More beige? More white? Why does it matter? 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.
