Michelle Anderson is the founder of Clopêt Media, an independent storytelling studio focused on emotionally honest audio, documentary, and nonfiction work.

For nearly a decade, she has built one of the largest and most engaged communities for people whose lives are shaped by a loved one's addiction.

Her flagship podcast, Love Over Addiction, has published more than 300 episodes and reached over 4 million downloads. What began as a lifeline for women loving someone with a substance use disorder evolved into a trusted global platform for conversations about addiction, family dynamics, recovery, and resilience.

Today, Michelle is expanding that work into investigative journalism. She is currently developing a documentary podcast series examining the luxury rehab industry and the systems that shape addiction treatment in America.

Across her work, Michelle explores the stories people carry privately—family systems, institutional failures, identity, recovery, and the ways people rebuild their lives after crisis.

Her reporting is informed by formal training, including a Certificate in the Psychology of Addiction and Recovery from the Stanford Center for Health Education at Stanford School of Medicine, certification in Couples and Addiction Recovery from The Gottman Institute, and membership in the Society of Professional Journalists.

Whether reporting, producing, or interviewing, Michelle approaches storytelling the same way she built her audience: with honesty, curiosity, and a commitment to the people whose experiences are too often overlooked.
