    From Stay-at-Home Mom to What?

    Parents who make raising their kids a priority are my heroes. I wrote a best-selling book called “In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms” to celebrate and to buoy the under-appreciated, little respected and even controversial parents - mostly moms - who make the important decision to be home full-time.

    Dr. Laura LIVE at SiriusXM Los Angeles Studios

    What’s a piece of advice I’ve given on-air that I’ve applied to my own life? Is it OK to remain friends when you know your “friend” wants something more? What’s a good way to respond when someone asks why you’ve never married or had kids? The questions were good at last week’s Dr. Laura LIVE event, and, in my never-to-be-humble opinion, so were the answers! Enjoy this special Deep Dive podcast of Dr. Laura LIVE from the SiriusXM Los Angeles Studios.

    Listener Stories About Abortion

    When it comes to the topic of abortion, I prefer to pontificate than debate. I also like to hear your thoughts. Which is why, after I read the following email on-air, I asked listeners to call in and share stories about being in a similar situation as this husband, who was forty when he wrote in for advice...

    What if It’s FTD?

    What’s Frontotemporal Degeneration? Also known as FTD, it is the most common form of dementia for adults under age 60. Unfortunately, my peep, Sue, knows all about FTD because she lost her husband to it. Sue and I along with the Director of Support and Education with the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration spent an hour of the Dr. Laura Program discussing FTD and answering listener questions. This week’s Deep Dive is a replay of that important segment...

    One Big Mistake Men Should Stop Making

    Men, close your eyes and picture yourself leaving Rapunzel up in her tower to cut off her own hair and use it as a rope to climb down to freedom. Could you do it? I know you’re born with a biological desire to rescue a damsel in distress. That’s natural and normal and even good in many cases. Guys want to fix and rescue. But the truth is that it’s not always possible.

    Improving Life Through Visualization

    It doesn’t matter if you’re a glass half-full or a glass half-empty person. You immediately get an image in your mind and understand what I’m trying to convey when I reference a glass and its state of fullness. Visualization is my favorite way to make a point. Especially when people are upset and getting catastrophic, visualization can quickly help put things into perspective.

    For Parents of Kids with Health and Developmental Problems

    Of all life’s many challenges, having a child with serious health or developmental issues is among the worst. Parents can be consumed with worry, fear and a sense of dread. On top of that, social beings naturally compare themselves to others… mothers are always gauging their own children’s successes or failures against the kids of friends and family. When your child is not able to grow and learn like others, it’s heartbreaking.

    How To Be A Good Parent After A Bad Childhood

    Can you go on to be a good parent if you had a really terrible childhood? The answer is, yes. People who've had horrible childhood experiences can become good parents, although the stats aren't great.

    Putting Your Family First

    One of the biggest problems I've run across in recent years of taking calls on the Dr. Laura Program is of adult, married, (mostly) women who allow themselves to be emotionally drained by their demanding, needy, mentally unstable mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers. Those calls infuriate me.

    Why Do Men Cheat?

    Why would a man risk losing his wife and his kids by having an affair? I devoted a whole hour of the Dr. Laura program talking to women who stayed with their husbands after discovering they had been unfaithful. And that prompted this special segment with men calling in to talk about why they had jeopardized marriage and family for sex on the side. I think you’ll find it enlightening…
