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.

Customer Reviews
Love and learn
Have listened since the first episode and every time I laugh, cry and learn. Laverne is a gifted host and interviewer, and her deeply grounded and well rounded knowledge on life and love is unequalled.
This podcast should be required listening in every household in every country in the world. If so it would unlock hearts and minds like never before, and we would certainly all have more fun.
Wonderful, encouraging and inspiring
This is my first review despite years of listening to podcasts. I love the show, and love love loved the episode ‘Black Women Are Enough w/ Sarah Adeyinka-Skold’. I pray you continue to preach the gospel and be among pioneering groups of women of colour normalising the inclusion of black women in mainstream media.
Thought provoking, honest conversation
Laverne Cox brings honest and open conversation to the issues that we are all facing. Thank you for starting the conversations that we all need to have.
