Laverne Cox on Overcoming Shame, Breaking Generational Trauma and the Journey to Self-Love
Before she was a trailblazing icon, Laverne Cox was a little girl in Mobile, Alabama, fighting to survive in a world that told her she didn't belong. In this vulnerable conversation with Hoda Kotb, Laverne reflects on the untold story behind her memoir, Transcendent, and the long path to embracing her authentic self. Laverne pulls back the curtain on the survival mechanisms she developed as a child to endure trauma, including the years she spent "disassociating" just to make it through the day. She shares the realization that she was "cared for" but not truly loved, and how she eventually found the strength to forgive her mother and break the cycle of generational trauma. Join us for a powerful discussion on why "staying in the love" isn't just a mantra, it’s a life saving practice. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jamie Lynn Sigler On MS, Motherhood, and Living Without Hiding Her Diagnosis
Jamie Lynn Sigler grew up in front of the world as Meadow Soprano, one of television’s most iconic daughters. But while she was coming of age on screen, she was privately carrying a secret that almost nobody knew: at age 20, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. For 14 years, she hid her diagnosis from Hollywood, her coworkers, and her friends out of fear and shame. Now, Jamie sits down with Hoda Kotb to pull back the curtain on a life no longer built on perfection, but on radical honesty. She opens up about her deeply moving memoir, And So It Is, which begins with a terrifying medical crisis involving her young son, Beau. Jamie shares how she broke through the paralyzing loop of childhood trauma through EMDR therapy, what it was like to finally confide in her late co star James Gandolfini, and how she found peace by letting go of the need to pretend she was always fine.
