Chelsea Houska has spoken out for the first on her decision to leave Teen Mom, after she felt "guilty" for sharing so much of her children's lives on air for seven years.
The 31-year-old left the MTV parenting show back in 2015, but at the time shared very little about why she exited the show.
The mother of four has shared that it was the “hugest weight lifted off my shoulders” when she left, after feeling “guilty” for sharing too much of private life on-screen.

While she was certain on the decision, it was still a “scary” one to leave the hit series and figure out what she wanted to do next.
