In this poignant and humorous memoir, Hollywood's most powerful woman, the creator of iconic shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal, shares how saying YES transformed her life—and how it can change yours. Despite her success, Shonda Rhimes, an introvert, avoided public appearances and suffered from anxiety before interviews. Before her transformative Year of Yes, she often declined invitations, using her busy schedule as an excuse, but also out of fear—fear of social faux pas and live television mishaps. Her life revolved around work, her children, and comfort food until a comment from her sister on Thanksgiving 2013 ignited a change: "You never say yes to anything." This realization propelled Shonda to embrace a challenge: for one year, she would say YES to everything that scared her. The memoir explores her life before and after this pivotal year, highlighting her nerdy childhood, her commitment to creating diverse characters, and her journey of self-discovery. As she stepped out of her comfort zone—appearing on shows and giving speeches—she learned to prioritize her health and embrace her true self. This candid account reveals how Shonda Rhimes, an unexpected introvert, achieved personal empowerment and how you can too.
