""Before, work was everything," Rhimes, 55, tells Bustle over Zoom. "I [now] feel like I'm much more of a three-dimensional, rounded person. I have a work life, I have a personal life, I have a social life. I get to spend all the time I want being a mom. It's about finding a life that's more in balance.""
""It took me a bit of self-reflection to really think about what had changed in the past 10 years, and what were the moments that felt like they really resonated in terms of me realizing a newer lesson about saying yes," she says."
""was both one of those things that felt really magical, but also really made me think, what am I doing?""
Shonda Rhimes, 55, transformed her identity from being solely work-focused to embracing a more balanced, three-dimensional life that includes a work life, personal life, social life, and extended time for motherhood. She pursued opportunities outside her comfort zone and engaged in self-reflection about changes over the past decade, leading to lessons about saying yes. Career milestones included a near-disastrous TED Talk, an increased interest in sports, difficulty finding a mentor, and recognition such as being anointed a Commander of the British Empire. A major $15 million donation to her alma mater resulted in a residence hall bearing her name.
