What's your favourite TED/TEDx talk and why?
Shonda Rhimes: My year of saying yes to everything | TED Talk
I’m a huge Shonda fan (and Grey’s Anatomy) and I watched it from that love initially, however, her topic totally resonated with me as a creative working mum. Saying yes to things that bring me joy each day is something I really try to do, especially when it comes to time with my girls. There is so much that I can relate to in her talk about being out of your comfort zone, especially as a mum of a young family. It is one of the few talks that have really stayed with me and something I do try, where I can to implement actions from in my daily life.
