Dancing, Divorcing, and Diamond Painting with Cheryl Burke

*TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUAL ABUSE*

 

This week Cheryl Burke joined us and we both did what we do best: we overshared. 

 

Cheryl and I discussed the whirlwind that has been the last few years of her life. Between leaving Dancing With The Stars, the show she was on for 26 seasons (!!), and navigating a public divorce, fighting her ex for custody of their dog, getting sober, maintaining her sobriety, and launching a brand new YouTube show called “Diving Deep”–Cheryl has conquered it all with grace and most importantly…with newfound peace.

 

Cheryl bravely walked us through her “rock bottom” and the traumas of her childhood including suffering sexual abuse from a man her parents had hired to babysit her. She explained the effect that had on her early relationships and the journey of healing she’s gone on since. 

 

There are so many layers of this episode and I’m so grateful to Cheryl for her honesty.
