For anyone unfamiliar with her work, the late Dr Joy Browne was an American psychologist and talk show host who specialized in on-air advice counselling.
She hosted a nationally syndicated call-in radio talk show for several decades, providing advice to callers and words of wisdom to her listeners.
Her shows achieved worldwide reach via podcasts.
She had a legion of loyal fans who were devastated when sadly she passed away suddenly in August 2016.
Here are 15 quotes by Dr Joy Browne to illustrate why I believe she was an inspiration.
