An Embarrassing Wedding Dance...and an Unexpected Twist – Beverley Elliott

Beverley Elliott (Granny on ABC’s Once Upon a Time) caught the bouquet at her niece’s wedding. The dance that followed was cringey enough to become one of her best stories—with a twist that changed how she saw the whole encounter. Beverley joins host Julie Rose to talk about why sharing our most embarrassing moments can help us let go of shame and feel less alone, and how focusing on one person can make an awkward conversation easier.
