  • Scolding Isn’t Necessary

    I’ve never given a 1 star review for a podcast, however I listened to a few minutes of an episode and was horrified. It’s okay to disagree with callers; however, the scolding and condescension are completely unnecessary.

  • Not the same

    I’ve listened for years and found recently the monologues are waaay too much. I listen for caller experiences and Dr Laura’s feedback, but not much of that any more. So sad.

  • The amount of ads is truly insane!

    The ads now take up more time than the episode itself. I’m grateful for the ability to fast forward through all that mess. I hate being beat over the head with ads!

  • So......painful.

    The sensation-grabbing approach of talking over, dismissing and even mocking callers has gotten worse and WORSE. So cringe. This is not the Dr Laura I liked in the 90s.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

5 Years In… and Stuck?
Q: Hi, I'm calling. Oh my gosh. I'm 26. I met my boyfriend in university. We've been dating for five years. We've been living together for the past four years. Yesterday, we had a conversation about our finances, and the smartest move is really to move back home to save some money. I told him I don't feel comfortable moving back home with a boyfriend, so you have to be my fiancé if we're moving back home. It's already been five years, so I'm wondering what's the holdup.
Dr. Laura responds by challenging the caller's assumptions about marriage timing, emphasizing personal responsibility, commitment, and the social expectations surrounding marriage; she urges the caller to consider the man's willingness to commit and to confront the dynamics of shacking up, suggesting that true stability and future planning come from mutual accountability rather than coercion.
Finding Light Through Chronic Pain
Q: Let's go back to your uterus in 14 surgeries. What did they do 14 times?
They removed tumors and endometrial cells, and eventually a full hysterectomy was performed; however, tumors continued to grow, contributing to ongoing pain.
Navigating Faith Transitions
Q: Do you pretend in front of your children about your beliefs?
The host encourages going along with the program for the sake of the family until the children are grown, highlighting the tension between personal belief and family stability.

Yes, the caller indicates the children are being raised in the religion, which prompts discussion about impact on family and future choices.
Navigating Faith Transitions
