Full Episode
Today is a very special episode of The Jamie Kern Lima Show. From So You Think You Can Dance to Dancing with the Stars, Alison Holker is an Emmy-nominated choreographer, dancer, host, actor, and author. She first burst onto the scene when she competed in So You Think You Can Dance, where she met fellow dancer Stephen Twitch Boss, who she married in 2013.
She and tWitch amassed millions of fans across the globe with their heartwarming spirits and inspiring dances. In 2022, tWitch sent shockwaves through the world and through his family when he took his own life, leaving behind his wife Allison and their three kids and leaving millions of people asking, how could this have happened?
Today, Allison is sharing parts of her story she's never shared before with the intention, she says, of inspiring and helping others. Allison's also donating 100% of the proceeds from her brand new book called This Far, my story of love, loss, and embracing the light to the Move With Kindness Foundation. Coming up in this episode.

I must have done something wrong, and I felt so much shame in who I was. And if I would have just spoke out for myself, maybe I could have built myself back up and helped other young girls too, to not let that happen.
When I had my daughter, I realized that I need to build her up to like, if anything ever happened to her, come to someone, come to me, come to someone you feel safe with and say, this was wrong.
