What Shonda delivers is a rare infusion of real talk, jokes, yet also a level of reflection and honesty you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else. In many a episode, she talks about her own struggles and has what can feel like a conversation with listeners. Sometimes leading to you feeling called out when her gems are pulled out from wounds. But, as serious as topics can get, Shonda is quick to remind you that sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying. Hence a consistent stream of memorable anecdotes, comical phrases and one liners, and a unique voice that you can't wait to see a notification from.
In many ways, this podcast delivers the audio only the friend who knows themselves, are comfortable with who that is, but knows and wants better for them and you could deliver.
