“When I decided to leave ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ I didn’t have a grand plan of, ‘Okay, this is my job. This is where we’re going.’ I just knew that I wanted to do things that were true to me, but it can be scary because you don’t know how it will be received,” she said of being an inspiration.

“At the time, I had a social media following of people who were watching and following me because of ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ That was scary, because I kept hating myself like, ‘Sorry, guys, I’m not doing that anymore’ ?

“What I don’t miss is the constant commitment. If you want to be good at your job, if you want to be successful, it’s a 24/7 job,” he continued. “And when you’re a mom, it’s a 24/7 job, so the battle is really tough.”

“It feels like a natural progression for me, which I’m grateful for because, of course, there are always times when I choose to leave the first season like, ‘Do I regret this?’ he said. “I’m very happy to say I never did. I have not regretted what I have decided to do,” he added.
