Years ago, a therapist said in our very first session that there are only two things that we can truly control in our lives - our own perception and our own behavior. That's it. Nothing more than that.  Each week, The Laverne Cox Show will feature intimate conversations with folks who help me to see and think differently so that maybe I can act differently. It is my hope that this becomes a place that fosters perspectives that might inspire new behavior in each of us, which in turn gets us closer to becoming the very best versions of ourselves. Let's have a spiritual makeover together.

Truly Incredible!

Laverne Cox’s podcast has quickly become one of my absolute favorites! Her understanding of incredibly challenging subjects beyond trans-rights is breathtaking. She has comprehensive knowledge on social justice, intersectionality, caste, privilege, club culture, music, and so much more. Laverne approaches every topic and conversation with grace, empathy, compassion, and kindness. I love this show. Thank you Laverne for giving the world this gift!
