  • Adore the show not the song

    Absolutely love the show and the host. But the intro song is so grating that I find myself avoiding it. Wish the song was gone.

  • Interrupting

    I wish she’d interrupt less. I’ll love what a person she’s interviewing will be saying & she’ll interrupt & go off on her tangent. I love who she has on, but she’s herself seems a little scattered these days.

  • Info and Interviews

    Love the short informational podcasts. She has knowledgeable guests, and in my opinion, she talks too much about herself, telling her same stories over and over and over in a lot of her interviews and her questions aren’t very clear. I’d love to hear more from her guests, with her having more concise questions. Maybe I’ll just move on. We’ll see. Some will love her. I did at first.

  • Highly educational and nurturing

    Dr. Laura really knows her stuff. She’s a wealth of knowledge and full of resources on where to go to get help if she doesn’t have the answer which she often does. My wife and I learned so much every episode. We listen to. thank you, Dr. Laura for bringing a sense of normal to sex and intimacy in relationships.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trapped by Love: Inside the Psychology of a Trauma Bond with Dr. Nadine Macaluso
Q: What would you say that you know about love today, especially healthy love today, that your younger self couldn't have understood?
Macaluso describes healthy love as care, attention, tenderness, respect, trust, and loyalty, along with the freedom to be oneself without changing to meet a partner's demands.
Trapped by Love: Inside the Psychology of a Trauma Bond with Dr. Nadine Macaluso
Q: How do you define a trauma bond, and what makes it different from other kinds of relationships?
Macaluso says a trauma bond involves an abused or betrayed person remaining loyal despite a power imbalance and intermittent reinforcement, when kindness alternates with cruelty or control.
Why Am I Like This? Breaking the Patterns That Sabotage Your Love Life with Sabrina Zohar
Q: How does someone know when their nervous system is reacting to an old wound versus when it's accurately telling them, okay, this person isn't safe for me?
Zohar suggests noticing whether the feeling is familiar and whether the reaction carries urgency and a sweeping story. A gut response, she says, tends to feel calmer, and a pause can help distinguish the stimulus from the reaction.
Why Am I Like This? Breaking the Patterns That Sabotage Your Love Life with Sabrina Zohar
Q: Why can we know better intellectually and still keep doing the same darn thing in love and in life?
Zohar says people learn coping mechanisms and core beliefs early in life, and their nervous systems can continue to rely on those familiar responses even when they no longer serve them.
Why You Chase People Who Don’t Want You with Laura Berman
Q: How do you know the difference between your intuition and your anxiety?
Dr. Berman explains that intuition comes from the body as calm, compassionate guidance, not fear, and emphasizes grounding the nervous system to hear it clearly. If a signal feels constricted or fear-based, it's often an indication of anxiety rather than true intuitive guidance. She recommends somatic practices and heart-centered awareness to differentiate yes or no signals, then tests decisions by vocalizing them and checking for expansion in the heart.
