Send us a text

Could you ever fathom losing a loved one simply because they were brave enough to wear their heart on their sleeve? This week, we peel back the layers of a deeply unsettling event that unfolded in the tranquil Lake Arrowhead community where Laura Ann Carleton, a heroic mother of nine, was tragically killed for flying a rainbow flag outside her clothing business. 

Join us as we navigate this emotional terrain with Laura's daughter, who takes us on a poignant journey into their personal loss, the void left by her mother's departure, and the profound message of strength and resilience left behind. We also reflect on the cultural divide between small-town locals and city-dwellers, and the dire need for empathy and understanding in this diverse world. As we end, we pay tribute to Laura's courage and her unwavering support for the LGBTQ+ community, leaving you with her inspiring message, "Rest in peace. You are beautiful and in power." Tune in for an episode teeming with tales of bravery, allyship, and the catastrophic consequences of hate.
