Earlier this week, Abbie Chatfield announced that she was leaving radio to focus on her television career, her podcast and her personal life.
Despite the success of her Hit Network show Hot Nights with Abbie Chatfield, the 28-year-old told her fans via a 3-minute Instagram video that she was “happy” with her decision to call it quits.
“I just need to put my energy into projects that bring me joy and energize me, rather than drain me,” she explained.
But Abbie may be giving up radio for a more practical reason: her podcast notes.
The former Bachelor’s podcast, It’s A Lot, has consistently lost listeners and downloads since its launch in January 2022.

Shortly after its launch, it was the 8th biggest podcast on the Australian charts, with 287,000 listeners and 731,000 downloads.
Yet just over a year later, It’s A Lot had fallen to No. 21 in Australia with 206,000 listeners and 490,000 downloads by April.
There was only some improvement last month when Abbie took weeks off radio while producing eight new episodes of It’s A Lot, lifting the podcast up to 18th place.
yahoo lifestyle reports that Abbie did not take her podcast’s ratings lightly and was particularly concerned about the gap between her show and rival podcast Life Uncut, which is one of the most popular in Australia.
But Abbie might give up radio for a more practical reason: her podcast notes.
“I just need to put my energy into projects that bring me joy and energize me, rather than drain me,” she explained.
Abbie’s practical decision to prioritize her podcast came after she recently revealed her mental health was at an all-time low due to mounting work pressures.
In May, the FBoy Island host shared several photos on Instagram from a photo shoot for Stellar magazine, revealing that she cried on set between takes.
She said that at the time her increasing work pressure hit her, but there was no room in her busy schedule to take time off to recuperate.
In December, Abbie was also forced into bed rest after canceling her live podcast gig at Beyond The Valley due to mental and physical exhaustion.
Abbie has had a lot to do over the past twelve months as her career has gone from strength to strength.

As well as her radio career and hit podcast, the former reality TV star has also served as a judge on The Masked Singer Australia and hosted the Binge dating series FBoy Island.
She also launched her own brand of canned beer last year called Spill, as well as a clothing line called Verbose.
However, her clothing brand was plagued with problems, with many fans complaining online that they had not received their orders.
As a result, Chatfield announced in May that it had temporarily closed the line.
“I’m taking a big break because I’m so busy. Releases are down. The drop is bought. It’s nothing dramatic, it’s just that I haven’t even had time to call my mother, let alone run a label,” she told Rolling Stone.
