How Old Is Dr. Laura

So, you're wondering, "How old is Dr. Laura, anyway?" I mean, she's like the queen of psychology, right? You'd think she's been around since Freud was just a twinkle in his dad's eye. But let's dive in, shall we?

Let's do some math, shall we?

Dr. Laura born on August 22, 1948. That's right, she's a Leo, just like me! (Coincidence? I think not.) Now, let's see, it's 2023 as I'm typing this. You do the math. (Or, you know, just scroll down, I'll do it for you.)

And no, before you ask, she isn't older than dirt. Although, she does have a few gray hairs. (Don't we all, am I right?)

But wait, there's more!

Now, you might be thinking, "Okay, so she's in her 70s. But how did she get so wise?" Well, my friend, it wasn't just by eating her Wheaties. (Although, I'm sure she did that too.)

Dr. Laura, full name Laura Schlessinger, got her Ph.D. in physiology from Columbia University in 1978. Yeah, she's been at this psychology game for a while. She's like the OG of self-help.

But here's the thing, she didn't just stop at one degree. No, no, no. She went on to get a license in marriage and family therapy. Because, you know, why stop at just one way to help people?

So, what's her secret?

Well, apart from being born in the summer (obviously the key to success), Dr. Laura's been dishing out advice for decades. Her radio show, "Dr. Laura," started in 1994 and ran until 2010. That's like, what, 16 years of non-stop advice-giving?

And she didn't stop there. She's written over a dozen books, from "Ten Stupid Things Men Do to Mess Up Their Lives" to "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands." (I mean, who hasn't needed that guide at some point?)

So, yeah, Dr. Laura's been around the block a few times. But you know what? She's still going strong. She's like that one friend who's always there with a wise word and a laugh. (Even if sometimes that laugh is at our expense.)

But enough about her, let's talk about you.

What's your favorite Dr. Laura moment? The time she told that guy to "get a job"? Or maybe when she said, "I'm not a doctor because my parents didn't love me"? (Okay, okay, I made that last one up. But you get the point.)

Anyway, thanks for chatting with me about Dr. Laura. It's been a hoot. Now, go forth and be wise, my friend. And remember, as Dr. Laura would say, "People don't change. They reveal who they are." (Or something like that. I was multitasking.)
