I am so excited to have my new pal, Cheryl Burke, on the show to talk all about why she's passionate about mental health and what got her here.
You might be familiar with Cheryl if you're a Dancing With the Stars fan, as she appeared on 26 seasons of the show and retired two years ago.
In this conversation, she shares beautifully and candidly about the difficulties of her career, the freedom she's found in being single, and what she has learned in her six years of sobriety.
This was such a heartfelt (new) girlfriend jam and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
*TW: sexual abuse and abuse in relationships is mentioned throughout the conversation. Please skip if these are sensitive topics for you!*
