"You don't know how hard the whole journey of 'Dancing With the Stars' is until you've lived it yourself. It's literally so hard, physically, mentally, emotionally and having to come up with a routine in six days to perform in front of millions of people. I mean, the pressure that you feel is nothing I've ever experienced before."
"To this day, I think Whitney is the only one who truly knows what I'm talking about. The shared experience that might have brought the women closer seems to have pushed them apart, as they each managed three small children, husbands who traveled to Los Angeles, and physical recovery from childbirth while dancing eight hours daily."
Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt, stars of Hulu's reality series 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,' both competed on the recent season of 'Dancing With the Stars' while postpartum. Their competition extended beyond the dance floor into their reality show, where an explosive fight erupted.

Affleck describes the experience as physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding, with pressure unlike anything she had previously experienced.
