You're listening to I Choose Me with Jenny Girl.

Welcome back to I Choose Me.

We talk about the choices we make in life and where they lead us.

I'm so incredibly excited about today's conversation.

My guest is an actress you have loved and cried with for years probably, especially on one of the

most culturally dominant shows of our time. But what you might not know is that she is also a director,

a producer, a pastor's daughter, and someone who makes profound choices every single day

to live a life aligned with her purpose. Please welcome the brilliant, wonderful, and deeply real Sarah Drew.

I have so much to talk to you about. You've been so brave in your career and all the choices

you've made. You work nonstop. You have so many credits. I couldn't quite keep scrolling through

them all. It's been one. I feel so lucky and so blessed. And I, you know, I don't, I just, I love where I love to work and I love that there have been opportunities to keep working. And then I started writing. So then I started making my own work. And then it's, it's, yeah, it's a lot. But it's, um, and it's a lot to juggle with

kids and everything. It really is. It really. Speaking of kids, something you said really resonated with

me. I think you said before you had your kids that you were terrified of becoming a mom. Because that's a

I mean, I mean, that's the one of the the biggest I choose me moments you can make that choice to become a mother.

What are you so terrified of? And now that you have what a tween and a teen.

Yeah. Are you still terrified or are you more terrified?

It's a, it's, gosh, it's just all of the everything, right?

I think I was really afraid of failing.

Like, as a mom.

Just, I knew that becoming a mother would require a lot of sacrifice.
