A quick check-in to say… summer is doing the absolute most and also not. 

Between life, schedules, and everything in between, episodes may be a little more sporadic over the next couple of months. But don’t you worry...Claire Bare isn’t going anywhere. 

Regularly scheduled programming will be back in full force this August. Just "BARE" with me during the summer.

Until then, expect a little chaos, a little inconsistency, and the same unfiltered honesty, just on a slightly looser timeline.

If you have some downtime this summer and want to be featured on a bonus episode. Reach out and let's get you in the chair with Claire! 

Now go get BARE and enjoy the sweet summa of fun!

In this episode, Claire dives into the end-of-year chaos. Emotions are high, calendars are full, and somehow… everyone’s getting an award.

From current trends and observations to navigating the bittersweet (and slightly humbling) experience of watching her son absolutely thrive, Claire unpacks the unexpected feelings that come with it...including a little jealousy she wasn’t exactly prepared for.

She also looks back on her own childhood, revisiting the infamous “scary” fourth-grade teacher and what it actually meant to experience her firsthand. Finding out she has always been different.

It’s honest, self-aware, and a reminder that sometimes the things we fear (or compare ourselves to) aren’t the full story.

Re-sharing this episode because it’s one of those stories that just hits—early signs of perfectionism, chaos, and a few questionable childhood decisions. If you’re new here, welcome. If you’ve heard it before… it might hit differently this time.

Taking some time to focus on MAY-HEM! Will be back next week with a banger!

In this episode, Claire takes us into her third-grade era—where the days were structured, the lunches were questionable, and the life lessons… came from unexpected places.

From listening to violin practice tapes (whether she wanted to or not) to navigating the social dynamics of school lunch and what it meant to “fit in,” this chapter of childhood is equal parts ordinary and oddly formative.

And then—because this is Claire Bare—we take a slight turn into a field trip with her dad that lands somewhere you wouldn’t typically find on a third-grade itinerary.

It’s nostalgic, a little chaotic, and a reminder that even the most random moments somehow stick with us.

What starts as a reflection on anxiety, healing, and “cleaning out the internal closet” quickly spirals into a series of childhood events that raise some very real questions. Mainly, was she an overactive kid, slightly unhinged, or fully possessed?

From chickenpox and mysterious hives to puncturing holes in a waterbed for absolutely no reason, navigating girl gang dynamics, recess weddings, and writing spelling words backwards...this episode is equal parts hilarious, chaotic, and deeply self-aware, but you should listen at your own risk.

Add in a possible bathroom hex, an early baptism, and a therapist who requested a horse drawing… and you’ve got a story that could go in multiple directions.

Spiritual warfare? Undiagnosed ADHD? Just being eight?

We may never know. But we are absolutely going to laugh about it.

In this episode, Claire revisits her first-grade era, where overachieving was the personality, perms were a choice, and things occasionally… got out of hand.

From trying a little too hard to be the teacher’s pet to a kitchen incident that escalated quickly, and a ski trip meltdown that did not go as planned, it’s a look back at the early signs of perfectionism, pressure, and just a touch of chaos.

Because even then… it was never that simple.

May is chaos. Moms are doing the absolute most. And Claire? She has thoughts.

What starts as a rant about the emotional Olympics that is the month of May quickly turns into a walk down memory lane, featuring kindergarten-era decisions that were… bold at best and how bold lies backfired when it came to Santa. 

From temporarily becoming “Andrea” to infiltrate Girl Scouts to an unforgettable first “what is that?” moment, this episode is equal parts relatable, ridiculous, and just a little unhinged. Claire discovers a pattern of publicly sharing her issues with those who don't really care which is how you got here. 

You’ve been warned.

This one’s a bit of a soft launch… in every sense.

Claire shares a few early childhood memories, loosely connected, mildly questionable in accuracy, and delivered with the honesty you’ve come to expect.

It’s not groundbreaking. It’s not life-altering. But it is real.

And sometimes that’s enough.

Claire takes us back through fuzzy details that may or may not be true and can't be verified of her family lineage and how she came to be. 

From a birth story documented through a camera lens to a quick call with her mom (who has very few notes on the situation), this episode is equal parts heartfelt and hilariously underwhelming.

Proof that even our origin stories don’t always come with clear details… and that’s kind of the point.

Welcome to the beginning!!! No plan, no perfection, just a microphone and a whole lot of yapping!

In this first episode, Claire shares the who, what, where, when, and why behind Claire Bare… or at least attempts to. It’s honest, a little all over the place, and exactly the point.

A few disclaimers before we get too comfortable:
 Yes, there might be cussing.
 No, you should not be playing detective trying to identify people in these stories.
 And yes… we’re aiming for the moon, even if we land somewhere among the stars.

This is the start of something real. Buckle up and let's get BARE!
