She then tried to fan herself with a stack of paper. “I don’t think my hormones have any respect for national television,” she said. The presenters of the television program chose to go to commercial so that Crump could recover.
In conversation with the BBC, the woman says that she noticed that she had difficulty pronouncing certain words. “I can’t describe the moment in any other way than that you feel like lava. And at the same time you suffer from needle pricks.” She felt she had to explain what was going on at that moment, because otherwise she would ‘come across as if she was bad at her job’. “Luckily I received the right support at that moment from the presenters who also indicated that we should actually be honest about this.”
‘It is normal’
She felt it was important to tell the truth: “Half of the population is dealing with menopause. Everyone knows this kind of thing is normal, but few people talk about it.”
“The hot flashes, anxiety, brain fog, itching, and sore gums (yes, really) can be distracting and sometimes disturbing. This morning my hormones decided to attack me live on television.”
Praised for openness
The woman was praised on social media for her openness. “Thank you for your authenticity, the more we can all be real with each other, the more people can reach out when they need support knowing they will be heard and understood,” one follower wrote. Another added: “So glad it wasn’t ‘glossed over’ – it was just a real person doing something normal – and you just made it even more normal.”
