Leah Van Dale | Carmella No More: Motherhood, WWE & Starting Over!

#877. She was Carmella for over a decade — the moon-walking, trash-talking Princess of Staten Island — but now Leah Van Dale is finally ready to share who she really is. From NFL cheerleader to history-making WWE Superstar, Leah takes Kaitlyn through her unbelievable journey — including the shocking moment she was released during maternity leave. She opens up about identity shifts, the guilt of missing her “old life,” and how she’s learning to separate herself from the character fans knew for 11 years.

Leah gets raw about postpartum truths no one talks about — from postpartum rage to living with Drop Foot — and how those struggles inspired her to launch Snatch, a new community for moms. Plus, she shares what it’s really like being a stepmom in a blended family, why this pregnancy has been even harder than the first, and the surprising dream she’s still chasing outside the ring. Tune in NOW!
