Cheryl’s journey has been long, it has been difficult and it has brought her to this moment. She is ready to get back in the game, to date again. That's where Patti Stanger and her team come in. They’re assignment, should they choose to accept it (spoiler: they have) is to find her suitors so that she may ultimately find the love she deserves.
Patti Stanger returns to discuss non-negotiables in relationships and the future of Cheryl’s dating life. Which apparently includes a “flirty thing” that took place in the past season of DWTS!
Cheryl begins to sift through ‘life after dance’ amidst the conclusion of her DWTS run and everything that came with it. With so much to be thankful for and so much to look forward to, the celeBURKEtion is just beginning.
We are heading into the DWTS season finale and it marks the conclusion of Cheryl’s time with the show. And while emotions run high, so does excitement and anticipation for what may be next. Cheryl opens up about her hopes and fears heading into her final dance.
Psychologist and scientist Dr. Alfie joins Cheryl to discuss the aftereffects of dating a narcissist and the brain’s response to trauma...Only to find out they share common experiences in their lives.
This episode is a real step forward for Cheryl and anyone that has personal barriers they need to overcome.
Coming off her emotional visit to Red Table Talk, Cheryl uses her own platform to continue the conversation. Including her deepest and most buried thoughts, memories and emotions that she wasn’t quite able to share on the show. This is the strongest and most raw and honest version of Cheryl Burke yet.
