About this episode

Dancing with the Stars professional dancers Daniella Karagach and Pasha Pashkov are on the pod (their first together!) to spill all the details on their journey from mastering the ballroom to mastering life together. We’ll dive into how Daniella's early ADHD diagnosis played a role in her dancing career and how Pasha’s love for competition shaped his. They're opening up about the mental hacks they use to overcome performance anxiety and develop their confidence on and off the stage. Plus, we’ll hear the super cute story of how they first started dating, what the audition process for Dancing with the Stars was really like and how they’ve built a strong foundation of trust in their relationship. And of course, they’ll share some sweet insights on navigating their newest and most exciting phase of life: parenthood. Whether you’re here for the behind-the-scenes insights on DWTS or the real-talk on relationships and pursuing your dreams, this episode has got you covered.
