In this episode, we explore how purpose, clarity, and sustainability can shape the way we show up as nonprofit storytellers and marketers. Our guest, Quinn Tempest, is a business and brand strategist and the founder of Create Your Purpose®, a movement that empowers women entrepreneurs to build meaningful, sustainable businesses without sacrificing what matters most.

Through Quinn’s lens of purpose-driven marketing and her concept of “gentle consistency,” we reflect on what it means to communicate with intention—especially in a culture that often rewards hustle and scarcity. Together, we dig into how to resist burnout, market without manipulation, and stay connected to your values in both message and method.

Whether you're navigating nonprofit communications, content strategy, or your own trauma-informed storytelling practice, this conversation is a powerful reminder that sustainability and integrity are not at odds—they're essential partners in storytelling for social impact.
