Kendall Vertes welcomes fellow Dance Moms alum Chloe Lukasiak for a heartfelt trip down memory lane. After months of fan requests, the two Pittsburgh natives finally sit down to discuss their shared childhood, which was spent working long hours under a notoriously "mean" dance teacher. They dive deep into how that high-pressure upbringing shaped their work ethics and why, despite the trauma, they wouldn't change a thing.

Now in her early twenties, Chloe reveals what it is actually like living her dream in New York City, from navigating the overstimulation of the city to finding her "people" through mutual friends. The conversation takes a vulnerable turn as Chloe opens up about her courageous return to the dance studio to conquer her fears and her secret new project as a fiction novelist.
