Dr. Laura

from UNMUTED by The Lioness in the Darkness · host The Lioness in the Darkness

A memory about long drives, talk radio, and the quiet moment a child realizes being heard is not the same thing as being listened to.In this episode of UNMUTED, Brie reflects on riding with her mother to run errands over an hour away, listening to Dr. Laura together as a form of bonding and routine. What once felt comforting slowly shifted into something more complicated - being pressured to keep the conversation going to help her mother stay awake, only to realize the things she wanted to share were considered too boring to hold attention for long.This episode explores emotional inconsistency, childhood performance, conversational survival, and the subtle ways some children learn to monitor whether their voice is “interesting enough” to deserve space.To support the mission of educating, healing, and protecting families and schools in the digital age, visit: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/support-the-lioness-in-the-darkness
