The following episode contains potentially disturbing content, and we want to alert trauma

survivors. It contains material that for some may be difficult to discuss

or listen to. This is sex, lies, and spray tans with me, Cheryl Burke, and IHeart Radio

podcast. Hey guys, let's just get right into it. Our next guest grew up in a famous family,

which might sound glamorous, but it can also mean facing harsh realities and trauma at a young age,

with some of her earliest memories colored by experiences no child should indoor.

As a teenager, she turned to partying and experimented with substances a path made all too familiar

by the chaos she witnessed growing up.

It wasn't until she faced a pivotal wake-up call that she realized the need for change,

ultimately finding new direction in her faith and spirituality.

Through it all, she built a career in entertainment that spanned from music, film, and television.

Her journey is a story of survival, strength, and reinvention.

Today, we're sitting down with China Phillips to discuss how she overcame her past, including her time on Dancing with the Stars with Tony Davalani. Okay, so welcome to Sex Lise and Spray

It's been so long yet feels like yesterday. I know. And when I heard that you, you know,

reached out and wanted to do this interview, I was just beside myself. I was so excited to be here.

So thanks for having me on. Thank you for being here. So who is China Phillips behind the glitz and glam of the entertainment industry?

Well, she is a Christian who is very actively, you know, speaking out for the Lord.

And she is actively working on her YouTube channel, California,

and we're going strong.
