This podcast dives into the messy middle, trauma, heartbreak, resilience, reinvention, and the stories we’re usually too scared to say out loud. With raw honesty and unexpected humor, Claire unpacks the moments that shape us, break us, and ultimately rebuild us.
Tell me everything! This episode takes the scenic route...from Shane Gillis, Texas dating apps, and the apparently luxurious promise of a full set of teeth and dinner at Chili’s, to a much deeper question: Who taught us what treatment we should accept? Claire looks back at her eighth-grade home life, her decades-long “Pick Me” era, and the late-but-life-changing art of getting good at goodbyes. She also confesses to a truly mortifying Civil War class project that proves some memories belong ...

DV Awareness Week, Episode 14
Tell me everything! October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and this week we’re talking about the kind of abuse that doesn’t always leave a bruise. Coercive control. Financial and psychological abuse. Post-separation abuse. Family court. Survival mode. And what happens when leaving doesn’t necessarily mean it’s over. I don’t have all the answers, but I do know that talking about the hard things can make someone feel a little less alone. So we’re talking about it. And most importantly, ...

First Period NOT The Class, Episode 13
Tell me everything! Apparently, I’m old now. I discovered this while photographing twenty-somethings who had no idea who Zack Morris was while I repeatedly yelled “YOLO” at them like someone’s embarrassing aunt. So naturally, this sent me into an existential crisis about middle age, barrel jeans, the price of milk, if I'll have to forgo the South of France for Dollywood and what exactly happens when you’re no longer young, definitely not old, and everyone on Instagram seems to be vacationing...

Stick in the Butt, Episode 12
Tell me everything! Ahhh, adolescence. But underneath all the bangs, bodily fluids and butt-cheek splinters is something I can see now that I couldn't see then...how early we start worrying about being pretty enough, cool enough, developed enough and, maybe, most importantly wanted. Because maybe sometimes we didn't actually want the boy or the bra or the shaved legs. Maybe we just wanted the boy to want us or to feel like we can shave and wear bras on our time. And THAT seems like som...

Claire is a Bitch!, Episode 11
Tell me everything! Fifth grade, the year of triumphs, trials, questionable friendships, and discovering that apparently I was, according to one bathroom stall, a bitch. This week, we’re heading back to the strange social battleground that was fifth grade, when friendships could change by lunchtime, mean girls were mean girling and sometimes…plot twist…I was the problem. There are friendship feuds. Favorite trees. Petty revenge. Bathroom graffiti. Some victories. Some character-building mome...

Use 'em, Confuse 'em, Abuse 'em & Sue 'em, Episode 10
Tell me everything! This one is...a lot. I've gone back and forth about whether I should even release this episode because it's deeply personal, uncomfortable, and honestly, a little terrifying to share. What started as my thoughts on the Lindsay Clancy trial became something much bigger...a conversation about coercive control, mental health, postpartum depression, trauma, family court, and what happens when someone's reality doesn't fit neatly into the story everyone else has already decide...

True Claire Investigates, Episode 9
Tell me everything! This episode is different. The Lindsay Clancy case has captivated the country, but for me, some elements painfully familiar. In 2023 I lost a close friend and her two young children in a tragedy that followed a hauntingly similar pattern. In both cases, one detail has stayed with me: according to public reports and witness testimony, the husbands immediately told first responders that their wives had killed the children. This is an episode about conspiracy theories AND cr...

Summer Update
Tell me everything! 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...

Award Sweep & Mom's Weep
Tell me everything! 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” fo...

Repeat Episode Lying Daisy
Tell me everything! 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!

Don't Lean on Me Episode 7
Tell me everything! 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...

A Possession Confession Episode 6
Tell me everything! 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, chao...

Perfectionism, Perms & a Minor Flood Episode 5
Tell me everything! 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. Support the show https://www.i...

Lying Daisy Episode 4
Tell me everything! 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...

Soft Launch Episode 3
Tell me everything! 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. Support the show https://www.instagram.com/theclairebare https://www.youtube.com/@theclairebare https://www.tiktok.com/@theclairebare Thank you for getting BARE with Claire!

Born This Way Episode 2
Tell me everything! 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. Support the show https://www.instag...

Claire Bare WTF is This? Episode 1
Tell me everything! 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 ...
