The Secret to Stopping Fear & Creating the Future You Want with Shonda Rhimes

from The Mel Robbins Podcast · host SiriusXM Podcasts

This episode is a MUST listen. If you’ve ever felt stuck, small, or tired of letting fear dictate your life, you need to hit play. This is the most eye-opening, empowering conversation you’ll hear this year. It’s time to stop playing small. There’s a bigger possibility for your life, you are more capable than you know, and you can manifest the future you want. Today’s episode will show you how. In it, Mel is joined by Shonda Rhimes. Shonda is one of the most powerful voices in entertainment history. She’s the creator of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal and the Executive Producer of Bridgerton and How To Get Away With Murder. She’s won Golden Globes, Emmys, broken records, and built Shondaland, a global storytelling empire. But this is not a conversation about groundbreaking TV shows. It’s about taking your life back. Shonda reveals that despite all her success, she was still living in fear. Still hiding. And in this conversation, Shonda will challenge you to do the same things she started doing: to stop doubting yourself, stop waiting for permission, and start saying YES, even when it’s terrifying. This is a masterclass in courage, clarity, and finding your power. By the time it’s over, you won’t just believe change is possible. You’ll know it is. Because the life you want? It’s on the other side of YES. And it starts right now. For more resources, click here for the podcast episode page. Get Shonda’s book, “The Year of Yes: 10th Anniversary Edition,” here.If you liked the episode, check out this one next: 3 Questions to Ask Yourself to Figure Out What You Really WantConnect with Mel:  Get Mel’s newsletter, packed with tools, coaching, and inspiration.Get Mel’s #1 bestselling book, The Let Them TheoryWatch the episodes on YouTubeFollow Mel on Instagram The Mel Robbins Podcast InstagramMel's TikTok Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes ad-freeDisclaimer Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
