The Creative Impostor

Are you creating work that fully expresses who you are? Does the process of making the thing give you energy upward momentum? Are you living a creative lifestyle that is aligned with your values and desires? The Creative Impostor exits at the intersection of identity and creativity. It’s a deep inquiry into both 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, 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.

  1. A Love Note to Your Voice with Mary Chan, The Podcaster's Guide to a Visible Voice

    OCT 14

    A Love Note to Your Voice with Mary Chan, The Podcaster's Guide to a Visible Voice

    YOUR VOICE... What do you use if for? Have you ever thought of it like an instrument? Do you consider yourself to be a voice professional? Do you feel confident in your voice? Do you even LIKE the sound of it? Well… if you speak, perform, podcast, teach, lead meetings, create content for YouTube or other social media channels, you ARE probably a voice professional and your voice is an invaluable asset. Or at least it CAN be with a little guidance. And that’s a pursuit worthwhile to both Mary Chan and me. And it’s what we are exploring in the first half of this episode. Mary is a Podcast Strategist, Voice Coach, & Voice-Over Artist. She launches and edits podcasts for business professionals. She’s the founder of Organized Sound Productions, and producer and host of The Podcaster’s Guide to a Visible Voice. Mary and I are also sharing: insights on whether your current voice is authentically yours (why or why not), the intangible benefits of podcasting, whether podcasts need to be video, the challenging parts of entrepreneurship (ahem… sales), and she'll even give you a quick guide to writing love notes to YOUR voice.

  4. I've been thinking about death... (don't worry, it's not that serious!)

    SEP 2

    I've been thinking about death... (don't worry, it's not that serious!)

    Hey. I've been away from this podcast for about 2 years and I'm feeling kinda awkward about it. But, either you're still here or you've just found me, and that makes me super happy because I've been recently inspired to return to producing The Creative Impostor, amidst all of the other shows I'm producing for clients. I've been noticing, however, that some things are changing in the podcast space, and with creators more broadly. Some of it is awesome, and some not so much! So what do you do when some sort of transformation seems imminent?  You stare bravely into the void, try to let go of expectations, and start asking questions.

  6. A huge creative risk for the new year with Andrea Klunder

    01/11/2022

    A huge creative risk for the new year with Andrea Klunder

    Let me tell you a Creative Impostor story for the New Year. It's about a woman taking a huge risk. The story begins during that weird week between Christmas and New Year’s. Where noting gets done, no one knows what day it is and yet, somehow, you imagined getting caught up on all the things you didn’t get to yet this year. It’s Monday and I’m driving from Chicago to a small town in Wisconsin, not far over the state line. It’s only 6pm but it grows increasingly darker and more ominous to this self-diagnosed city girl. I’m on a call with my friend Julia…  running my internal monologue past her. (Thank you, Julia, as always for indulging me.) Why am I driving to Wisconsin right now? What exactly do I hope to accomplish? Who do I think I am? Why indeed? I'm taking a huge risk. It's not the same kind of risk I took when I moved from Michigan to the big city of Chicago out of college, or when I started auditioning for storefront theater productions around the city, or when I quit my full-time arts admin job to start my own yoga studio business, or even when I started this podcast. What feels different is that I'm telling you now, before it exists, before I even know exactly what it is. And the reason it's a risk to tell you is because I worry that I might not finish it.

  7. Open a conversation: how to facilitate civil discourse with David Blatt & Josh Lewis

    12/20/2021

    Open a conversation: how to facilitate civil discourse with David Blatt & Josh Lewis

    After 18 months of caution, this holiday season finally offers many of us a chance to commune with family and connect with old friends. Yay? Nay?  How do we feel about the contact? The conversations? A lot has changed since the last time we headed over the river and through the woods. Not least is a collective intolerance for political viewpoints that don’t align with our own.  These are deeply partisan times to be sure. That said, is it possible for divided friends and family members to foster mutual respect for all POVs, even wind up standing on common ground?  Can we begin to reclaim civil discourse around cafe and family dining tables alike? Josh Lewis (a lifelong Conservative) and David Blatt (a committed Liberal) are test-driving a version of this complicated idea, facilitating conversations between reasonable, rational voices from opposite sides of America’s political discourse. Those of us about to cross into enemy territory armed only with a hot side dish and a bottle of wine will find David’s and Josh’s insight helpful for maintaining healthy debate around the holiday table. Among the topics we discuss is the enduring appeal of uncivil discourse, a tactic that’s long stood as an editorial board favorite, amplifying outrage in everything from 17th-century broadsheets to thoroughly modern cable news.  David and Josh remind us that retracing our collective steps back to the civil middle is a marathon, not a sprint. Take heart even if a friend, colleague, or family member (or two) appears unwilling to dial down the angry rhetoric.  And, maybe, take an extra bottle of wine along just in case. *** Full show notes, resources, opportunities, other podcasts & books mentioned...
