This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

It's time for another episode of Danielle With.

I am your host, Danielle Fischel, TV director, podcaster, mother of two.

And from the years 1993 to 2000, and then again from 2014 to 2017, I orbited the world of family sitcom, playing the character Topanga Lawrence, first as a teen

even if it was cut short. And in the process, I've been chatting with fellow celebs, genius pros, past participants,

and crucial behind-the-scenes contributors in hopes that it could forever immortalize

the year I tried to win a Len Goodman mirrorball trophy.

And this week, I am sitting with a very special person,

a fellow dancing with the stars competitor who

has quickly become a very close friend and one of the best results of my decision to do this show.

She's a founding member of Mom Talk, a social media tornado or originating in Utah, consisting

of Mormon mom creators who first took TikTok by storm and then transformed

it into a hit Hulu reality show. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives just kicked off its third season

this past Monday night during the same week that she avoided dancing with the star's elimination

to enter the semifinals, alongside partner Mark Ballas where arguably she has

become the best celebrity dancer to ever do the show and I will make that argument.
