  • The best

    Dr.Laura is the best no-nonsense therapist who says it like it is. Her ability to push through and get to the nitty gritty of each problem is refreshing, and gives us the chance to combat each problem by owning it. Raised in a dysfunctional home with addicts, I never received the parenting needed to develop into a good and ethical person. I found Dr. Laura in the mid 90’s on an a.m radio show right when I needed it the most, at 15. Listening to her show helped me develop a sense of right and wr... more

  • Wow…

    So condescending. I began to listen to an episode and was appalled. I could not believe how you treated a caller. No validation, just snark and hate. You are a joke. I honestly don’t understand why people continue to call you. The judgement you put on callers is disgusting. PEOPLE- stop calling this woman.

  • TOO MANY ADS

    Way too many ads! Especially for such short clips. Not a good user experience. Interesting content, advice, and perspective minus the rudeness and condescension. Being mean adds zero value.

  • You Were/Are Right

    I’m one of those women who did listen to you in the past, heard how things should be done but think I have a better way , I do it my way and regret not doing it the way it was recommended.

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Addressing Bad Dads
Q: Why don't you address more circumstances where the father leaves the family and the mother has no choice but to support the kids?
The host acknowledges the sadness of paternal abandonment but emphasizes preventive steps, mainly thorough premarital vetting and counseling, to minimize such outcomes and suggests relying on family support and careful planning as safeguards.
Deciding What to Do in a Sexless Marriage
Q: Well, I call the question about a sexless marriage.
Dr. Laura responds by outlining practical options: assess whether the marriage can function with affection at home, consider living separately while still maintaining the relationship, set clear boundaries, and communicate openly about what each partner needs. She emphasizes prioritizing kindness and honesty, and suggests testing boundaries by removing sex from the equation to see if the relationship can survive on other dimensions like companionship and support.
Speaking Up or Staying Silent: A Mother's Dilemma
Q: What concerns does Dr. Laura raise about planning for kids and mortgage in the context of this relationship?
She points out that unresolvable patterns of withdrawal or lack of commitment can create ongoing risk for a family, suggesting that if the partner cannot promise a stable future, it may be wise to reassess the marriage plans and protect the daughter from future instability.
Speaking Up or Staying Silent: A Mother's Dilemma
Q: What should she do about addressing the situation with her daughter and future husband?
Dr. Laura advises evaluating the fiancé's ability to commit, provide, and protect, arguing that a lack of capability or willingness to promise stability is a fundamental deal-breaker, and encourages the daughter to consider her own safety and long-term viability of the marriage. She emphasizes clear boundaries and the idea that delaying or avoiding tough conversations can lead to greater harm down the line.
My Friend Needs Space From Me
Q: How can I help you today?
Elizabeth explains the deep grief over losing her mother, a strong English connection, and how her friendship with another English woman developed after meeting during a canvassing job, only for that friend to step back as she found Elizabeth too emotionally demanding.
