Are You Addicted to Emotional Pain? 5 Steps to Stop the Spiral | Cheryl Burke (Fan Fav)
In today’s raw and revealing episode, host Lisa Bilyeu sits down with the inspiring Cheryl Burke—from Dancing with the Stars—for an honest conversation about protecting yourself from emotional harm and breaking free from self-sabotaging patterns.
Cheryl opens up about her struggles with addiction, childhood trauma, and the relentless inner voice of judgment that once dominated her life. She shares what it was like to be a “functioning alcoholic” at the height of her career, the pain and shame that fueled her drinking, and the pivotal moment that set her on a journey to self-acceptance and sobriety. Cheryl and Lisa dive deep into topics like body dysmorphia, the power of self-awareness, learning to trust your intuition, and the importance of rewriting your own narrative.
If you’ve ever struggled with feeling “not enough,” battled unhealthy coping mechanisms, or wondered how to truly love yourself, this heart-to-heart is for you. Cheryl’s story is a reminder that while healing is messy and ongoing, it’s never too late to choose yourself and become the hero of your own life.
