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

About this episode

Andrea Klunder discusses with Leigh Cambre how creative leaders can build capacity and practice self-care in challenging sociopolitical times using the Enneagram as a tool.

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.
