Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from two to five PM Eastern time on serious XM.

I'm 11.

You've got welcome to the program.

Hi, thank you, Dr. Laura. I just wanted to call and tell you I am so grateful for you. I my husband is a long time listener and he started telling me about you. He bought me your

books and I read them and I've been listening to you for about a year and a half now.

And I just wanted to tell you that I listened to what you say and I do it and I am seeing the magnificent changes in me and how it affects my family.

I'm growing some balls and I am more grateful for my husband. I am a state home mom and he works very hard and provides a great living for us and I've stopped complaining.

I am happier and I'm able to love him more. I am able to now know the impact of you have to follow through with what you say.

And so I am doing that with my kids and making them have consequences for when I say something now I do it. And when somebody does something that is not right to me, I tell them.

And then I say, I don't want you to do that anymore. And they're listening and I could go on and on, but I just want to say that you're working with you going on.

That's wonderful.

And my dad left when I was 10, my mom was very, very depressed and was not able to be a parent. So since 10 years old, I've had to raise myself. And I didn't have any input. I didn't have any direction. I didn't have a good role model.

So a lot of the stuff that people know, I didn't. And so I'm learning so much from you. And I'm so grateful. I wish I would have known about you many years ago.

But I'm doing what you're saying. And I just, I just want people to know that I'm living it. And I'm seeing the result. And the things that you say work and it's truth.

And it's changing my life and it's changing my husband's life and my two kids live. And I'm hoping that.

You know, all of these great and wonderful things that I'm learning. They will now, you know, have in their toolbox.

And thanks be to God. I have a great family. I have a great son and I have a great daughter.

And they're wonderful, but they're going to be even better.

And I think that's the reason I'm learning from you. And so I just, I just wanted to call and to say, thank you for doing the work that you do because it makes a huge difference in my life.

And the lives of many, many, many others. And one of the things that I've learned from you is tell, tell people tell you, if somebody's doing something great and we'll tell them.

And so I'm, you know, I'm doing that more with my friends. I'm doing that with my husband and giving him more respect that he needs.

And our house is changing. Our home is, you know, is changing. We had a great home, but it's just even better now.
