Supporting the Supporters: Judith Hartlmaier on Regenerative Work That Pays
About this episode
If you've ever felt torn between making a difference and making a living, this episode is here to help you reframe that tension - and start building something more sustainable. Both for the planet. And for yourself.
My guest today is Judith Hartlmaier, co-founder of Positive Impactpreneur — a business built on a powerful mission: to support the supporters.
Judith works with solo practitioners, consultancies, and support organizations in the impact sector — helping them blend revenue with regenerative, systems-oriented work. In other words, she helps the helpers design businesses that actually work — for their clients, the world, and their own sanity.
We talk about
- Why pricing your work fairly is part of the impact
- What blended value creation actually means (and why you need it)
- How to create ripple effects in complex systems
- The real reason many well-intentioned changemakers burn out - and what to do instead
- How to show up in a chaotic world and still build something that lasts
Whether you’re an impact-driven solopreneur, a facilitator in transition, or a curious systems-thinker, this episode is packed with insights, clarity, and hope for the regenerative economy we know is possible.
