Morra Aarons-Mele: Founder of Women Online & Author "Hiding in The Bathroom"

Morra Aarons-Mele quit 10 jobs before the age of 30. She found herself feeling depressed, crying in ladies rooms, and uncertain of where she fit in the workforce. As an introvert and self described “hermit”, Morra eventually came to the realization that for some, success might mean “leaning out” instead of “leaning in.” Today, she's an entrepreneur, author and host of the podcast “Hiding in the Bathroom.” As the founder of digital marketing agency, Women Online, and has launched award winning campaigns for the U.N., Hillary Clinton, and President Barack Obama, to name a few. She's here with Sophia to talk about finding success on her own terms—and open up about anxiety, the ever-increasing social pressure to keep moving up, and her new book, Hiding in the Bathroom: An Introvert's Roadmap to Getting Out There (When You'd Rather Stay Home).
