As Ciara Miller prepares to make her debut on the upcoming season of ‘Dancing with the Stars’, the reality TV star is embracing a carefree “treat yourself” mindset that she shared during a recent interview with PEOPLE. This fall, Miller, who is best known for her appearances on ‘Summer House’, is eagerly anticipating the change of scenery as she relocates to Los Angeles, where she will take to the dance floor and immerse herself in a demanding rehearsal schedule.

Living in New York City, where she typically walks everywhere, Miller is thrilled at the prospect of having her own car in Los Angeles and the freedom that comes with it. “It’ll be nice to have my own schedule, a very solid schedule, and be able to go where I need to go,” she commented. Reflecting on her past experiences, she expressed excitement for the discipline of the dance schedule, saying it reminds her of her upbringing.

Already mapping out her routine, Miller has formulated plans to reward herself with favourite goodies from Sonic before and after her rehearsals. “I’m just picturing myself stopping at Sonic in the mornings,” she shared. She hopes these breaks will serve as little motivations throughout her busy days. Embracing a mindset focused on self-care, Miller concluded, “I know that my whole mentality will probably be, I’m going to treat myself every minute I get.”

To prepare for the upcoming challenges on the dance programme, Miller intends to engage in more fitness activities, including yoga and Pilates. “I might start running again because I need to get my stamina up and have some type of endurance,” she revealed, further emphasizing her commitment to fitness as her dancing journey begins.

The young star also fondly reminisced about her childhood visits to Sonic, recalling, “I feel like me, my mum on Friday nights, our treat would be to go to the Sonic drive-in.” Her enthusiasm for Sonic’s menu was palpable as she mentioned her love for their chili cheese dogs and fondness for the long hot dogs available. Adding a touch of uniqueness to her taste, she joked about her affection for French toast sticks, which she claims to love despite not typically enjoying French toast itself.

Miller’s partnership with Sonic proved to be particularly special, as she also collaborated with fellow reality star Ariana Madix on a promotional campaign. Miller described the experience as “the kid in me’s dream,” aligning perfectly with her joyful approach to the work. Both stars shared a light-hearted exchange in a Sonic video, underscoring a serene moment in an industry often filled with drama.

Madix, who has been a source of support for Miller, reached out to her during a recent upheaval involving Miller’s ex-boyfriend and their co-star Amanda Batula. Madix, who regards Miller highly, expressed her confidence in Miller’s potential, stating, “I think she’s at such a good point in her career, and she’s such a beautiful and amazing woman.” Miller appreciated this support, especially from someone who has navigated similar challenges in the reality television realm.

“It’s so nice because I feel like when you’re in the reality TV space and as you’re either growing or branching out, to have the support from people who have done it before you is so nice,” Miller shared. She acknowledged Madix as a great role model and commended her for encouraging her confidence during this pivotal phase of her career.

Their partnership extended beyond promotional work; they also addressed the importance of self-care and downtime in their video. In a humorous exchange, Madix probed for any updates in Miller’s life as they enjoyed their beverages. Their light-hearted banter demonstrated a sense of camaraderie, with Miller sharing that she has been focusing on enjoying life away from the social media spotlight.

While Madix opted for a Strawberry-Passionfruit Sonic Refresher, Miller revealed her preference for the Mango-Peach flavour, proudly noting her Georgia roots. It seems that the blend of personal nostalgia and a touch of fun is what Miller aims to carry into her experience on ‘Dancing with the Stars’.

As Ciara Miller embarks on this new chapter, her spirit and enthusiasm appear poised to propel her forward. With the support of friends like Madix and cherished treats from Sonic to look forward to, Miller illustrates a blend of dedication, positivity, and a little indulgence—a formula that may just lead her to shine on the dance floor.
