In this episode of We Too Are One, we meet Morra Aarons-Mele, author of The Anxious Achiever and host of the acclaimed podcast of the same name. Morra shares her journey of navigating anxiety in high-pressure environments, how she turned her own struggles into a powerful framework for success, and why she believes transparency about mental health is key to a more inclusive workplace. She also gives an insight into her next work, a book on neurodivergence for which she is currently conducting research which listeners are invited to take part in. In this episode, we cover topics including:

The overlap of neurodivergence and anxiety.
The importance managers of neurodivergent people play in the workplace.
The impact of Gen Z's greater awareness and expectations regarding mental health and well-being on organisational culture.
The challenges of getting senior leaders to openly discuss their anxiety.
The importance of recognising and breaking habitual anxious thoughts and behaviours.
