About the Author

Emilie Aries is a nationally recognized speaker, writer, and podcaster, and the founder and CEO of Bossed Up.

Emilie is a political organizer turned award-winning women's leadership consultant. Through her work at Bossed Up—a personal and professional training organization—she provides programs, tools, and resources to help women craft sustainable careers and support companies wrestling with gender diversity and inclusion at work.

Her TEDx talk, "The power of no," shows how to set healthy boundaries and invest in sustainable long-term achievement. Her forthcoming book, Bossed Up, will be published in 2019 by Public Affairs Books and will help women assertively design a sustainable career path.

After co-hosting the HowStuffWorks podcast, Stuff Mom Never Told You in 2017, Emilie launched her own podcast, Bossed Up, to break down listener career conundrums, interview expert guests, and deliver boss tips to listener's earbuds each week. Emilie also writes as a regular contributor at Forbes, and is a sought-after speaker at companies, conferences, and universities across the country.

She earned her BA in political science from Brown University and completed a fellowship on organizing at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Emilie recently relocated to Denver, CO after five wonderful years spent in Washington, D.C. There, she continues to combine her political instincts and personal experience with burnout to help women step into their power and be the boss of their lives.
