"You know, you don't work 30 something years in this business without knowing how to push yourself. So, I just kept pushing myself and pushing myself. The other thing that happens is when your hormones get out of whack your emotions come up"
About this Quote
Then she swerves into something pop culture still struggles to say plainly: physiology has a vote. "When your hormones get out of whack your emotions come up" cuts against the old showbiz myth that professionalism is pure mind over matter. Osmond isn’t romanticizing breakdown or packaging vulnerability as branding; she’s naming a mechanism. The subtext is that resilience, especially for women in entertainment, gets framed as moral character when it’s often chemistry plus circumstance. Hormonal shifts - menopause, postpartum, stress - are treated as private mess, yet they can be career-shaping forces.
Contextually, this lands as a quiet rebuke to a culture that praises the grind while pathologizing the cost. She’s not asking for pity; she’s insisting on a fuller accounting of what endurance actually requires: discipline, yes, but also honesty about the body’s limits and the emotional backlog it can suddenly release.
