Email of the Day: I Was Against You Even Without Listening

Written by Dr. Laura | 1/17/23 9:15 AM

The first time I ever heard you, I thought you sounded scary and mean, so I turned the radio off!

 

My sister had given me your book “10 Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives,” but I didn’t think it really pertained to me. I used to show my “cool” friends the book and laugh, exclaiming “This is the kind of sister I have!”

 

I knew your reputation for being tough. I voted against you without even listening to you. Well, finally, I listened to a full program….and then another…and another. Now I listen every day. I understand what you are doing, and I can hear how much you have helped a lot of people. I even called once. It was an honor to speak with you. We are lucky to have someone like you who tells it like it is – not mean or scary (well, maybe a little). You are blunt, but most of all your advice is golden. It’s wisdom. It’s amazing, smart, and yes, kind too.

 

One of the things I love the most is when you sing along to Carson’s music. It’s so sweet to hear!
