This week, Maddie Brown Brush stunned her fans. She announced she’s leaving The Authentic Society, a podcast she co-hosted with Jayme. The podcast was for raw, honest conversations. But, Maddie seems to be shifting her priorities. She’s preparing for her fourth child and building her life in North Carolina.
In an emotional Instagram post, Maddie Brown explained her decision to close this chapter.
“The closing of a chapter,” the post began. “After much reflection, I’ve decided to step away from The Authentic Society podcast. I’ve truly enjoyed the experience, learned so much, and am deeply grateful for the support from all of you.”
She clarified that her departure doesn’t mean she’s done with podcasting forever. But, she needs to focus on her growing family, their farm business, and building their new home.
“While I’m closing this chapter with The Authentic Society, I’m not closing the door on podcasting forever,” Maddie added. “For now, however, my focus is on the season I’m in – being present for and focusing on the well-being of my growing family.”
Her co-host, Jayme, will continue the podcast without her.

Sister Wives: Maddie Brown Builds the Family Home Kody Always Wanted
While Maddie Brown is stepping away from her podcast, she’s doubling down on building a warm, welcoming family home – something her father, Kody Brown, always wanted but never achieved.
Robyn Brown often spoke about her dream of having a large family home where all the kids would gather for holidays and special occasions. But instead, it seems Maddie has created that vision in her North Carolina home.
Over the years, Maddie has welcomed many of her siblings into her home, including her mom, Janelle, who recently moved to North Carolina permanently.
Fans can’t help but point out that Maddie’s family gatherings stand in stark contrast to Kody and Robyn’s isolated life in Flagstaff.
