Aside from continuing to bea devoted mom to her children, Lowry, 30, has been working on becoming a trailblazer in the podcast space. But she is aware that not everyone sees or understands the value of podcasting.
“Podcasting goes against everything that I was taught, especially from my previous agent. He basically told me that there was no money in podcasting and don’t waste my time,” she explains. “ButLindsie Chrisleyhad reached out to me via Twitter, and we kind of formed this friendship before we even met in person. She was like, ‘Do you want to do a podcast?’ I was like, ‘I’m going to take a leap of faith here and say yes, even though it goes against everything that I know.’ Then, I just fell in love with it. So, I kept going and I started more podcasts.”

She originally joined16 and Pregnantduring its second season in 2010 and later appeared onTeen Mom 2, though she announced her departure from the franchise in May 2022.
Fortunately, it paid off. And now, after finding her own success through the space, Lowry is working to help other rising podcasters.

“I do think that I have proved that I have the capability to be on a reality show and be interesting enough for people to watch. I think people would be very interested to see the dynamic behind the scenes of podcasting, especially when it is really saturated and people don’t like each other,” she adds. “There’s a lot of cattiness that people don’t realize, and so I think that would be a really interesting show.”
