Heart of the Matter with Elizabeth Vargas

[link removed]

To the fans who watch her on their TV screens, Cheryl Burke leads the
picture-perfect life, dancing her way across countless stages and
starring on national broadcasts. However, there is more to the
"Dancing with the Stars" competitor than may meet the eye: Beneath the
impressive veneer is someone who is unafraid to open up about her
struggles with alcohol, mental health and abuse.

As a competitor, Cheryl was taught that showing emotions is a sign of
weakness, and turned to alcohol as a way to soothe anxiety and
uncertainty. Tune in as Elizabeth and Cheryl talk about the ways
drinking fosters emotional disconnection, growing up with addiction in
the family, the events that led Cheryl to put down alcohol for good
and how she has come to find strength in vulnerability.
