Burke expressed deep gratitude to her “loyal listeners,” whom she called her “rock and backbone,” especially during challenging moments. “The only reason I kept going with my head held high was because of your unwavering support and belief in me. I cannot thank you enough for being a part of this journey and for truly understanding my intentions.”
She addressed how much the podcast has meant to her and the values it embodies. “My heart has always been in the right place, and I’ve seen so many of your comments affirming that,” she said. “I will never forget where I came from, and my love for that chapter of my life will never waver. Any negative perceptions about me in the headlines could not be further from the truth.
This podcast was always about truth, connection, and storytelling — not taking anything down.” The podcast, known for its candid discussions and personal stories, gave Burke a platform to share her experiences and connect with her audience on a deeper level.
While wrapping up her announcement, Burke assured fans that this isn’t a permanent goodbye. “This isn’t goodbye, it is a ‘see you later,’” she wrote, leaving the door open for a potential return.
