This episode is a MUST listen.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, small, or tired of letting fear dictate your life, you need to hit play.
This is the most eye-opening, empowering conversation you’ll hear this year.
It’s time to stop playing small.
There’s a bigger possibility for your life, you are more capable than you know, and you can manifest the future you want.
Today’s episode will show you how.
In it, Mel is joined by Shonda Rhimes.
Shonda is one of the most powerful voices in entertainment history. She’s the creator of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal and the Executive Producer of Bridgerton and How To Get Away With Murder. She’s won Golden Globes, Emmys, broken records, and built Shondaland, a global storytelling empire.
But this is not a conversation about groundbreaking TV shows. It’s about taking your life back.
Shonda reveals that despite all her success, she was still living in fear. Still hiding.
And in this conversation, Shonda will challenge you to do the same things she started doing: to stop doubting yourself, stop waiting for permission, and start saying YES, even when it’s terrifying.
This is a masterclass in courage, clarity, and finding your power.
By the time it’s over, you won’t just believe change is possible. You’ll know it is.
Because the life you want? It’s on the other side of YES.
And it starts right now.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
