Why Pam quit acting?

Pam decided to walk away from the entertainment industry, saying her mental health struggles were the main reason she quit.

“As you guys know, I’ve been doing content creation part-time and have been in the mindset that I will be going back to acting. But recently I’ve actually decided that I’m now going to become a full-time content creator, and I’m very excited about that,” she said.

“That’s just where my heart is right now. My heart is no longer in being an actress or being in that world,” she said. “And when you’re feeling like that, it’s very hard to find a normal job,” she added.
