Derek Hough: Learning to Live in the Art of Life

What happens when you achieve your biggest dreams, hold the trophies, and realize you are completely unfulfilled? In this episode of What Happens Next, 6-time Dancing with the Stars champion and Emmy Award-winning choreographer Derek Hough opens up about the raw, unseen battles behind his monumental success.
From surviving severe childhood bullying and "torture" in Utah to moving to London at age 12 to pursuing elite ballroom dancing, Derek reveals how he spent decades associating extreme success with the need to be loved. He shares the exact moment he won his third DWTS trophy, only to find himself spiraling into a deep depression. Leading to a massive paradigm shift from seeking validation to choosing a life of service and mentorship.
If you are currently facing an obstacle, battling perfectionism, or chasing a goal that leaves you feeling empty, Derek’s wisdom on how to "trade your expectations for appreciation" will change how you look at your life journey.
