Welcome to the Laverne Cox Show, a production of Shondaland Audio in partnership with IHeart Radio.

It's the tough moments where you don't want to self-regulate. It's the tough moments where you're in such

panic and fear where you think you can't control it. Those are the moments where if you really go at it and you really work on it,

now you're really employing the biggest challenge of all.
