“Grey’s Anatomy” actress Sarah Drew says her pastor father’s advice helped shape how she responds to fear. In accounts of the story, Drew describes receiving Bible-rooted guidance from her father as she prepared for major life changes, including motherhood. She says the advice focused on addressing fear by practicing “aggressive gratitude,” positioning gratitude as an active response rather than a passive attitude. Across the reports, the emphasis is on the personal impact of the counsel and its role in her mindset during a period when she anticipated motherhood. Both outlets present the recollection as a formative influence from her father, who is described as a pastor, and they frame Drew’s comments as reflecting how she has continued to apply the advice. Neither report provides additional specifics about the exact wording of the advice beyond Drew’s description of its themes, and no broader corroborating details are included beyond her own account.
