Get To Know Your Brain with Dr. Collier

In this episode of Claire in a Chair, I sit down with Dr. Crystal Collier to talk about something every teenager experiences, trying to make good decisions while dealing with stress, school, friendships, sports, social media, and everything else life throws at us. We get into why our brains sometimes seem to work against us and what’s actually happening behind the scenes. Dr. Collier explains the science in a way that actually makes sense. We talk about what people really mean when they say your brain isn't fully developed until 25, how stress affects the way we think, whether you should prioritize sleep or exercise, and simple habits that can help your brain stay healthy. I learned so much from this conversation, and I hope you leave feeling encouraged, understood, and reminded that your brain is still growing, and that's a really good thing.

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.

5 Lies We Believe About Friendship

In this episode of Claire in a Chair, I talk about 5 lies I think teenagers believe about friendship. From expecting our friends to be perfect, to thinking friendships have to last forever, to feeling like we owe our friends every detail of our lives, I’m talking about all of it. I also talk about guy/girl friendships, why real friendship actually takes effort, and how we need to stop putting so much pressure on the people we love. This episode honestly felt like a big conversation with a friend, and I hope it makes you feel a little less alone.

Pull Up For Your People

Everyone says “it takes a village” but what if the real challenge is becoming one first? In this episode of Claire in a Chair, I talk about what it actually means to show up for the people in your life, especially when it’s inconvenient or not “your thing.” I dive into why friendship isn’t about perfection or constant communication, but about consistency, effort, and choosing to care out loud. This episode is both a reminder and a challenge: if you want a village, you have to be willing to build one. Because the smallest moments showing up, listening, being there are the ones people never forget. New episodes every Sunday at 9am Instagram-@claireinachairpodcast Instagram-@Dwell&Adorn

Living In REEL Life with Leighton Luffburrow

This week on Claire in a Chair, I’m sitting down with my friend Leighton Luffburrow to talk about something we all say we should do, but almost never actually follow through on: taking a real break from social media. Leighton gave up Instagram and Snapchat for 40 days during Lent no scrolling, no posting, nothing. And we get into what that was actually like. Not just the highlight version, but the boredom, the feeling left out, the unexpected positives, and what changed for her because of it. We talk about screen time, friendships, mindset, and what happened when she finally redownloaded everything. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the scroll or wondered what it would be like to step away, this conversation is for you.
