EPISODE 006 | Claire Barron-Sluga on Being Seen, Heard, and Valued

In this warm, wise, and deeply affirming episode, Lee sits down with facilitator and community-builder Claire Barron-Sluga for a conversation about connection, aging, and the value of being seen. From the fatigue of Zoom life to the gentle rebellion of choosing presence over productivity, Claire offers a clear and courageous call to remember our worth — and to see it in others. This is a conversation about self-deprecation and social diversity, kindness and courage, and the quiet power of showing up anyway.Key Topics Covered:Invisibility vs. irrelevanceSocial connection across differenceTechnology fatigue and Zoom cultureCommunity-building in rural lifeThe relief of releasing societal expectationsThe metaphor of the “inner archeologist”Support groups and safe vulnerabilityAfter you listen to the podcast, answer this: What small action can you take today to feel seen, or to help someone else feel seen? Come share it with me on Instagram @crone.rising.official — or better yet, share it in person with someone in your world.Text me if you want to be a guest - or with feedback!Crone Rising is for every woman who’s done being quiet and done being small.
