“I’m most at home in those in‑between moments—over lunch, on a commute—where you can actually sit with a big idea and ask what it has to do with your real life.”

Claire Spainhour is a co-host of Philosophy for Lunch, where she brings a grounded, conversational approach to big ideas in philosophy and psychology. She helps connect complex thinkers—from the Stoics to Freud and Jung—to the ordinary decisions, conflicts, and patterns that shape everyday life.
