Crone Rising with Lee Currie

EPISODE 006: Claire Barron-Sluga a Conversation on Being Seen, Heard, and Valued

Lee Currie Season 1 Episode 6

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. irrelevance
  • Social connection across difference
  • Technology fatigue and Zoom culture
  • Community-building in rural life
  • The relief of releasing societal expectations
  • The metaphor of the “inner archeologist”
  • Support groups and safe vulnerability
