Crime Junkie · AUDIO EXTRA: A Conversation With Elizabeth Smart · 29 Jan 2026 podcast

I mean, I've walked with her.

But just why she can't do it on her own.

And it's because I love her and I want to protect her.

And I trust her that if anything ever happened to her, that the things that might be annoying right now are because some bad things happened to me.

And I don't want them to ever happen to her.

And...

I recognize the fact that sometimes I am a bit over the top with it.

And my husband, he'll be like, hey, you need to calm down.

You're becoming a bit too much.

But there's this other side of me that's like, well, Elizabeth, you will never regret being there for your child, but you might regret it.

not being there and so having these conversations as hard as it is I think there is a way to make it age appropriate without going into gory graphic details yet and always just reaffirming to them that how much you love them I think unconditional love is

what helps survivors survive anything.

I mean, I think the human spirit is the most resilient thing on earth, that humans can overcome anything.

And I think that they're able to do that because either they know what it is to have been loved, they have someone that they currently love, or they're searching for that love in their future.

And so I think making sure children realize how loved and special they are to you, that is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child.

Your daughter reminds me a little bit of me.

My mom used to tell me something that drove me insane, but I was very much like I wanted to be so independent.

And she used to say, it's not that I don't trust you.

I don't trust everyone else, the people that I don't know.

And it made me crazy as like a little kid.
