Shondaland Audio and iHeartPodcasts have some exciting news, The Laverne Cox Show is back for season two. Get a spiritual makeover each week as actress and activist Laverne Cox goes with her guests. We think you'll want to hear this season, but don't just take our word for it. Check out the trailer and decide for yourself!

About the podcast: 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.

Listen to season 2 of The Laverne Cox Show starting July 27th on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts!
