From Dance Moms to Life's Next Dance ft. Ashley Hosbach

About this episode

Ashley Hosbach discusses the challenges and lessons of parenting through independence and fame.

Dance Moms star Ashley Hosbach joins us to talk about the beautiful (and slightly heartbreaking) reality of watching your child become independent. From moving to Pittsburgh for the hit reality TV show with just two weeks' notice to helping Presley navigate fame, criticism, and career opportunities, Ashley shares the lessons she's learned as both a dance mom and a momager. We dive into parenting through major life transitions, staying grounded in the entertainment industry, and what comes next when your kids start building lives of their own. Hosted on Acast.
