Kelly Stafford, the wife of Matthew Stafford, recently opened up about the struggles that led to her stepping away from her podcast, The Morning After. The show had built a strong following, making her sudden break from it last year a surprise to many listeners.

Despite the podcast’s popularity and loyal audience, Kelly explained during a recent Q&A that personal challenges played a major role in her decision to pause the show. She said the break was necessary as she focused on her well-being and family life.

Kelly has been transparent about her mental health journey over the years. One of the biggest challenges she has discussed is balancing life as a mother of four daughters who are all close in age. Managing the demands of parenting, along with other responsibilities, has at times been overwhelming. She has previously shared that she occasionally uses weed gummies to help relax and unwind after particularly stressful days.

Although she has stepped away from podcasting, Kelly remains active on social media. In one of her recent posts, she called out people—including reporters and analysts—who refer to her husband as “Matt” instead of his full name.

While Matthew Stafford himself has not publicly objected to the shortened version of his name, Kelly believes it comes across as disrespectful when used publicly.
