Dancing, Divorcing, and Diamond Painting with Cheryl Burke

<p>*TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUAL ABUSE*</p> <p> </p> <p>This week Cheryl Burke joined us and we both did what we do best: we overshared. </p> <p> </p> <p>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.</p> <p> </p> <p>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. </p> <p> </p> <p>There are so many layers of this episode and I’m so grateful to Cheryl for her honesty. </p> <p><br>To watch Cheryl’s new show “Diving Deep” click <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-W-BwGkKVM">here</a>!</p> <p> </p> <p>Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!
