I want to give my whole heart to the people who have always given theirs to me,” Stafford wrote.\n<\/p>\n The podcast host says she’s not saying “goodbye” to The Morning After listeners, but instead, “It’s a ‘see y’all later,’ ” she wrote.<\/p>\n Concluding her message, Stafford thanked her listeners for “letting me grow, change, fall apart, rebuild, and evolve right alongside” them. “Thank you for loving me through all my versions. I\u2019m excited for whatever the next chapter of TMA becomes someday. And until then\u2026 RIUTA,” she signed off, referencing a segment<\/a> on her podcast.<\/p>\n
