Claire in a Chair

The Curiosity Crisis

Have you ever wondered how much you're missing simply because you never got curious enough to ask? In this episode of Claire in a Chair, I'm talking about the importance of curiosity in a world that seems to be losing it. From the growing literacy crisis to the embarrassing fact that I went two whole years not realizing I could skip a song because I was too lazy to look it up, I've been realizing how often we settle for not knowing. I'll share why downloading Substack unexpectedly reignited my love of learning, how curiosity can open doors to new ideas, and why I think we're not hungry enough for knowledge anymore. Plus, I'm sharing some of my favorite books and the stories that have stuck with me long after I turned the last page. If you've ever felt stuck, bored, or like you're just going through the motions, this episode might be the reminder you need to start asking more questions. Because sometimes the difference between staying where you are and discovering something amazing is simply being curious.

I Tried Rejection Therapy...

In this episode of Claire in a Chair, I talk about trying something called rejection therapy and what it taught me about putting myself out there. I share a few moments that surprised me, like reaching out to people I admire and actually getting responses, and realizing that opportunities open up way more often than we expect when we just ask. I also talk about how I used to stop myself from trying things because I assumed the answer would be no, and how that mindset has slowly started to shift. This episode is really about learning not to limit yourself before you even try. It’s about asking the question, sending the message, and going for things even when there’s a chance of rejection. Because most of the time, the worst outcome really isn’t as scary as we think, and you genuinely never know what can happen until you try.

It's Only Your First Time Living

This is your first time living… so why do we expect ourselves to have it all figured out? In this episode of Claire In A Chair, I talk about why teenagers feel everything so deeply and why that’s not a bad thing. We’re all going through things for the first time: friendships, heartbreak, pressure, identity, all of it, and somehow we’re expected to handle it perfectly when we’re literally still learning how life works. If you’ve ever been told you’re “overdramatic” or “too emotional,” this episode is for you.
