We talk about how she was lost after winning the highest award in her sport plus how it felt to win Dancing with the Stars and why she decided to walk away from the Olympics for a second time just a week before tryouts. We also talk about our pregnancy’s, fears of motherhood and heartbreak of miscarriage.
