@melrobbins: Shonda Rhimes said saying “no” to marriage wasn’t rejecting love… It was saying “yes” to herself. A “yes” to living life on her own terms. In this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, I sit down with @shondarhimes - the creator of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal, and the Executive Producer of Bridgerton and How To Get Away With Murder. She’s a Golden Globe and Emmy winner who’s built a global storytelling empire. But this conversation isn’t about TV. It’s about taking your life back. Shonda shares how learning to say “yes” - even when it meant saying “no” to everyone else’s expectations - changed everything for her. This episode is out now! 🎧 “The Secret to Stopping Fear & Creating the Future You Want with Shonda Rhimes.” #melrobbins #melrobbinspodcast #marriage #shondarhimes

Isn’t the main point of all things in life is that we have free will and can do what we want.

I thought I was alone for feeling this way. I can’t talk to anyone without being told that marriage is so wonderful and there’s someone out there for me. I just want companionship, not marriage. I love my freedom. I feel like if I get married I have to give up on my dreams or stop building.

Shonda girl! This is so Me coded. I’ve never gotten married not bc I don’t believe in marriage, but bc I take the institution so seriously,I never wanted to do it frivolously. Now at 46, I’m good with the life I chose for me. 🥰

Putting yourself 1st and releasing the shackles of society and loving whatever people choose for themselves is the greatest freedom. I’m there with you, Shonda Rimes. I am still defining myself. I don’t want to add another character to my story in such an intimate way that it takes away from me in any way. I have given enough!

As long as it's your truth and brings you fulfilment. None of us should succumb to societal construction that's not in alignment with who we truly are. But then again this should be preceded by knowing ourselves and doing the deep work.

You were completely honest with yourself and you decided to live in your honesty. That’s wonderful!

I just walked away from a marriage proposal and even dating to the same person. I have never felt so sure and right off myself. Marriage is good for those that see it as their all goal, some of us have been there, done it and are now prefer ourselves
