I was 23 and stupid but smart enough to know I had to find a job to make some money before I stared graduate school. At that job, the radio was set to your show. Thank God for that. I heard you say "you have to kiss a lot of toads before you find your prince". More >>

I remember having to do a report in school about what we wanted to be when we grew up. I always knew I wanted to be a wife and mom. But I never thought it was the 'right' answer. So I would make up something. More >>

I heard your commentary about how women should spend their 20s becoming confident and competent...Amen sister! More >>

It took me awhile to own up to the fact I was a less than great mother to my children...When I finally did, I sat them down individually and asked each to tell me what were the worst things they felt I did. More >>

My wife tells the (true) story of what happened when she had my toddler son with her in the grocery store one day. All was quiet and the boy was seated in the basket, while she was looking at some products on the store shelves. More >>

I grew up in a house where my father verbally, emotionally, and physically abused me and my two sisters (I thank God there was no sexual abuse to any of us). His mood swings were sporadic and we were always walking on eggshells. More >>

We tell those in authority to report abuse immediately and for kids younger than eighteen(?) that is the only tool we have to help. We should tell the over 18's they have a moral responsibility to all the younger to try to keep them from similar fates. More >>

You opened your show talking about how a nine year old boy was suspended from school for saying his teacher was "cute." More >>

I did the unthinkable and had a long term affair that resulted in the dissolution of 2 marriages. I married "the affair" and 10 years into it, I lost him the same way I found him. More >>

When I was probably 8 - 10 years old, I helped sell donuts after church for my parish. While I was selling them, I would slip change into my shoes, so really I was stealing from the church. More >>
