Shonda Rhimes’ message at TED2016: Say ‘yes’ to what scares you, even if it’s saying ‘no’ to work
Are you a fan of writer and producer Shonda Rhimes? ABC has devoted its Thursday night line-up to the “Shondaland shows How to Get Away With Murder, Scandal and Grey’s Anatomy. ABC snapped up Rhimes’ latest series, The Catch. Shondaland shows have the special ability to capture both fan devotion and critical attention – she’s won everything from a Peabody Award to a People’s Choice Award.”
I’ve been a fan of Gray’s Anatomy for many years and Scandal since it started. I like Viola Davis but How to get away with Murder is not my kind of show so I don’t watch it.

Most of us can relate to feeling overworked even if it is work we love to do. Shonda shares what she realized when burnout hit and she lost the “hum” in her work.
