He’s the man who made everyone step up their social media game…and now he’s forcing Danielle to step up her podcast game. Ezra Sosa joins Danielle with the Stars to talk about his journey to the ballroom. Ezra talks all about his current partnership with Jordan Chiles, the upcoming DWTS tour and what it was like dancing with “criminal” Anna Delvey. Plus, how hard was it to convince Brandon to get a (fake) tattoo? Hear all about the show’s TikTok expert - on a new Danielle with the Stars! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TikTok night brought chaos to the ballroom! Tori and Easton recap ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ From Robert Irwin ripping his shirt off to Andy Richter becoming the emotional heart of the season. Jordan Chiles left the judges in tears, Danielle Fishel got a surprise Sabrina Carpenter shout-out, and Derek’s noisy brooch stole the spotlight. But the real drama? A Fifth Harmony alum storming out with one word: “Pissed.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What's up Bros? We are loving this season of Dancing with the Stars! This week we have our first elimination and the bottom three had one surprise in there. All in all it was a solid week. Whitney Leavitt and Jordan Chiles definitely stood out amongst the pack. Lauren Jaregui was also incredibly impressive. It seems like we have a very capable cast this season because we could go on and on about most of the dancers. Topanga (Danielle Fishell) had a bum hamstring and we saw some serious GRIT out there on the dance floor. Who goes home? Who takes the top of the leader board? Tune in and find out!

In this eye-opening episode, Ross Rosenberg introduces his groundbreaking Human Magnet Syndrome Workbook and unveils his powerful "Alpha Narcissist Theory."Drawing from decades of clinical experience and deep psychological insight, Rosenberg explores the rarely discussed dynamic that occurs when two narcissists enter a relationship—a battle of control, manipulation, and dominance. He explains how, in these high-conflict partnerships, one narcissist inevitably emerges as the more dominant figure—the Alpha Narcissist—while the other assumes a more submissive, enabling role, even if both exhibit narcissistic traits.This compelling theory sheds new light on how narcissistic relationships don't just implode—but can actually stabilize when a clear hierarchy is established.Consider subscribing to Ross Rosenberg's/Self-Love Recovery Institute's new Patreon Subscription, where you can access exclusive content, insights, and services. https://www.patreon.com/RossRosenbergSLRIatreon Recharge with David KoChats with Kevin Bacon, Chelsea Handler, Jordan Chiles, Common and Sheryl Lee RalphListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showABOUT ROSS ROSENBERG Ross Rosenberg, M.Ed., LCPC, CADC, is a psychotherapist, educator, expert witness, and celebrated author.
