She hosted a nationally syndicated call-in talk show for several decades, heard on numerous radio stations in the U.S. and Canada.
Browne spent much of her childhood in Denver, Colorado, and graduated from Rice University in Houston, Texas, with a bachelor's degree in behavioral science.
She was a licensed clinical psychologist who was first on the air in Boston at WITS, where she hosted a program called Up Close and Personal in the late 1970s.
Browne was also known for her "one-year rule", which states that people who have lost a spouse or long-time partner due to break-up, death, or divorce should wait at a minimum one year before resuming romantic relationships.
On September 8, 2014, she switched to the Genesis Communications Network (GCN), continuing her syndicated radio show in the same time slot.
