This week, we're back with our very first guest: None other than Ilona's Dancing With The Stars partner Alan Bersten! Ilona and Alan recall their first meeting and first impressions of one another, we discuss showing up for Ilona, our favorite dances, and knowing when she was freaking out internally. Ilona talks about lifting and being lifted, and Alan reveals his own struggles with body image. New episodes of House of Maher release every Tuesday!
