Jenna Johnson: Passion and Purpose

Taylor Lautner
About this episode

In this week’s episode, the Lautners are joined by Dancing with the Stars’ reigning Mirrorball champion, Jenna Johnson! Jenna shares where her dance journey began, when she knew she wanted to pursue it professionally, and how she keeps the passion alive even when dance is also her job. She opens up about working alongside her husband, Val Chmerkovskiy, on DWTS, how they create boundaries between work and home, and her experience winning the most recent season alongside Joey Graziadei — plus, what made him such a special partner. Jenna also gets candid about motherhood: how it’s shifted her priorities, the parts she didn’t expect, and how she’s learning to navigate “mom guilt.” She opens up about her miscarriage journey, the emotions that followed, when she realized she needed therapy, and the anxiety around trying to conceive again. Jenna also offers heartfelt advice for women facing miscarriage or infertility, then shares what’s next for her!
