  • Nothings changed.

    Used to listen to her as a kid/young teen when my mom did on the daily commute, randomly found her pod today and man nothing changed. Empathy and emotional understanding really never has been her strong suit hey. lol

    She is just mean. She fails to adapt and she fails to grow and treat people with empathy the same way she preaches. Just rude for the sake of rude. She should honestly, in her big age, be embarrassed that she hasn’t grown. Let’s get to the bottom of your trauma Dr. Laura and why yo... more

  • The voice of sanity in a crazy world

    I remember listening to Dr. Laura many years ago on the radio. When I stumbled across her IG account, I was thrilled to see she’s still out here giving solid, sage advice. At 57, I’m in one of the most challenging seasons of my life, and I listen to her podcast every day to keep myself grounded.

    Every situation she tackles teaches me something I can apply to my own life. The circumstances may differ, but the core principles stay the same—and she reminds me of that daily.

    Thank you, Dr. Laura, ... more
