What does success look like when you're drowning in it? Shonda Rhimes had built an empire-Grey's Anatomy revolutionized television, Scandal made history, and her production company churned out hit after hit. Yet in 2013, she was profoundly miserable. Not the kind of unhappiness you can point to and fix, but a creeping numbness that had slowly drained all color from her life. She'd become a master at declining invitations: Jimmy Kimmel's show? No. Kennedy Center Honors? No. Speaking engagements? Absolutely not. Her excuses seemed reasonable-three children, multiple shows, no time-until Thanksgiving dinner when her sister Delorse casually dropped a truth bomb: "You never say yes to anything." Those six words detonated Shonda's carefully constructed fortress of fear. Weeks later, sitting in the Presidential Box at the Kennedy Center Honors beside Barack and Michelle Obama, she woke at 4 a.m. with a horrifying realization: had she been asked rather than told to attend, she would have said no. Despite creating fictional characters who lived boldly-Meredith Grey, Olivia Pope, Cristina Yang-Shonda herself had become someone who retreated from real-world experiences. Standing at this crossroads between the life she was living and the life she was missing, she made a decision that would alter everything: for one year, she would say yes to everything that scared her.
