I am not a natural dancer.

I was a girl and became a woman. Something about having the freedom at home to be in the position I wanted, to have the people I wanted, was empowering.

It was a long time in the making, my divorce. One day became less special than the next, and pretty soon, we ceased all conversation. It is a sad day when you have nothing left to say.

I've lost 12 inches in three weeks. Every time I go for the costume fitting each week, it's smaller and smaller. I'm feeling great. I'm putting in the work. I'm getting a lot of sleep. Everything is on the backburner right now. 'Dancing' is my priority.

I had a really kind of yucky divorce and it was really challenging to get over that.

It's inspiring, I think, for women out there to see I'm a regular person. I am the every woman who's struggled with my weight.

Motherhood is the greatest thing and the hardest thing.
