In October of 2020, Katy announced she was leaving the Southern Tea Podcast. The podcast was created in January of 2019 and had been going strong for over a year and a half. Katy was one of the three original hosts, along with her sisters Caroline and Amelia.
There are a few reasons why Katy decided to leave the show. First, she felt like she needed a break from podcasting. It can be time-consuming and demanding, especially when you're also working full-time and taking care of a family. Second, Katy wanted to focus on other projects, including her blog and YouTube channel. She has always been creative and loves experimenting with different mediums (writing, photography, videography, etc.), so she wants to explore those more. Third, while the Southern Tea Podcast is based in the South (USA), Katy no longer lives there. She moved up North about two years ago for work and hasn't looked back since. It made sense for her to leave the show since it's not as relevant to her life anymore.
We're sad to see Katy go but we understand her reasoning and wish her all the best in her future endeavors!
