There\u2019s nothing more fun than telling an adorable, 30-year-old man that you\u2019re having a hot flash.

This is not a show. It\u2019s real life. We\u2019re just having conversations. Why should I fake it through that moment? Just be honest about what I am physically going through,&#8217;\u201d she explained. \u201cMenopause is teaching me [to] stop being uptight. Don\u2019t worry so much. Don\u2019t think you\u2019re gonna pull something off with having people not see you a certain way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Barrymore noted that sometimes her hot flashes are \u201cso bad\u201d that she can\u2019t \u201cfake through it.\u201d Thankfully, Blyth was \u201cso lovely\u201d and \u201cso cute about it and so sweet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI have no idea what that\u2019s like, for a young man to have a woman lean over and be like, \u2018Do you know about perimenopause or menopause?&#8217;\u201d she stated. \u201cBut, you know, if we start making it a casual conversation, then it\u2019ll take the stigma out of it. I am not going to be insecure about it. It\u2019s just a natural part of life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Fans appreciated Barrymore being open about her menopause experience on TV. \u201cYesssss!
