If you’ve ever thought “Who cares what I have to say?”—this episode will change how you think about your voice, your message, and why your podcast matters.

In this episode I’m sitting down with Holly Eckelberge, a sexual educator, curriculum designer, and reproductive justice advocate (with 15+ years of experience) and the host of Meet Me at the Spot—a podcast making sex education and reproductive justice feel approachable, real, and empowering.

We talk about what finally got her to launch after years of getting in her own way, how her show evolved from solo episodes to interviews, and why she’s committed to staying solutions-oriented—even when the news feels heavy. Plus, Holly shares the surprising ways podcasting impacted her confidence, her community, and even her own family.

Whether you’re a podcaster, an advocate, or someone craving deeper, more honest conversations, this episode is a reminder that your voice matters—and community changes everything.

In this episode, we cover:

Why Holly started Meet Me at the Spot (and who it’s for)

TikTok vs. podcasting: why long-form conversations matter

How Holly keeps episodes uplifting while still talking about hard realities

“We’re louder together”: building community through the podcast
