American actress Amanda Bynes has recently disclosed her decision to temporarily halt her podcast show and redirect her efforts toward obtaining a manicurist license.

Bynes provided her followers with a detailed update regarding her Amanda Bynes & Paul Sieminski: The Podcast through an Instagram story. She began by acknowledging the unexpected success of the first episode of her podcast, expressing genuine surprise at the positive reception.

Despite the encouragement she received from friends to continue with the podcast, the actress shared that she took some time to reflect on her future endeavors.

She further admitted that, after careful consideration, she had decided to take a different path in her career. Rather than continuing with the podcast, Bynes revealed her intention to pursue a manicurist license, emphasizing her desire for a more stable and consistent job.

Moreover, in a thoughtful and appreciative tone, she thanked her followers for their support and for being a part of her journey. After coming across the actress’ Instagram story, a social media user took the initiative to start a thread on Reddit.

The user shared a screenshot of Bynes’ post and titled the thread, “Amanda Bynes on a ‘New Path’ after Short-Lived Podcast.” As the thread gained popularity, numerous individuals expressed positive sentiments about the actress’ decision.

Among the comments, one person remarked, “Good for her. I hope she has fun and doesn’t feel like she needs to do anything publicly — even if that’s what she wants,” while another said, “Sometimes you don’t know you don’t like something until you try it. Hopefully, she finds something she does because she deserves all the nice things”

Likewise, a third person chimed in, saying he understood Bynes’s decision. The commenter related it to his own experiences, mentioning how, after dealing with a bunch of stuff, having a job and a more structured life seems pretty appealing.

While acknowledging the trend of wanting creative gigs and being your boss, this person admitted they prefer not having to handle every single thing in their career. Still, he sent good vibes and best wishes to the actress for whatever she chooses to do next.

However, this is not the first instance where the actress has addressed her decision to pause the podcast. In a previous discussion, she provided additional context, explaining that despite the podcast’s overall success, there have been challenges in securing the desired caliber of guests for the show — specifically, individuals like Jack Harlow, Drake, or Post Malone.

She left open the possibility of resuming the podcast in the future, contingent on the ability to secure such high-profile guests. For the time being, though, she reiterated her choice to put the podcast on hold.

Shortly after making the initial statement, the actress appeared to have a change of heart. In a subsequent, now-deleted video on TikTok, she took a moment to clarify, admitting that she should not have said what she said earlier about the challenges in securing certain high-profile guests.

Bynes emphasized the unpredictable nature of the future, noting, “because, you never know, you might get them in the future.” Likewise, to reassure her audience, she went on to share that the upcoming guests already lined up for future episodes are genuinely great.

With an air of excitement, she expressed her anticipation for the next episode’s filming, signaling a positive shift in her perspective and a renewed enthusiasm for the podcast’s direction.

Nevertheless, given the deletion of TikTok, where she mentioned resuming her podcast, there’s uncertainty about whether she plans to continue it at this time.
