“I think I’m finally getting to a place where I can look back more,” Barrymore shared on a Tuesday episode of the “Drew Barrymore Show.”

“Since I was a kid, I’ve just been running, and I never stopped running,” she said. “And we’re all go, go, go, we’re all working so hard to figure things out, grow, live life.”

Barrymore shared the moment of reflection alongside friend and fellow actor Valerie Bertinelli, who praised Barrymore for finally giving herself space to pause and reflect — not to retreat, but to process.
