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.

Pick one and do it this week:

1. Wear your values: grab merch that sparks conversations (tinyurl.com/reproFBmerch).
2. Be the friend with receipts: bookmark accurate resources so you can point people to real clinics/info when needed.
3. Check your state’s grade: explore reportcards.reprofightback.com and identify one area to push on locally.
4. Support direct services: donate to or volunteer with local practical-support networks (transportation, childcare, clinic escorting, etc.).
5. Go local: show up where policy becomes real—school board meetings, city council, state reps.

Resources Mentioned:

1. Planned Parenthood
2. Chicago Women's Health Center
3. Population Institute
4. The Money with Katie Show featuring Representative Katherine Clark

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.

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.
