Women of Color Podcast | And A Podcast for Allies and People of Color
AS SEEN IN:
“Color Your Dreams®, Lead Your Legacy.”
Admit it: You’re struggling with what to do next in your work and life. And you need a podcast with honest realtalk so you know you’re not alone (and strategies to get unstuck along the way).
Your host, Elaine Lou Cartas, a first-gen Filipino immigrant, is an award-winning Business and Executive Career Coach for women of color and allies. Elaine is like you – she’s been fired 3x, quit 2 jobs, got let go of another job, changed careers 3x, and been in debt 3x.
Elaine’s success story? She’s always done what’s true to her and wants you to know it’s possible too.
On the WOC and Allies: Business and Career Realtalk™ Podcast (formerly known as the Color Your Dreams® podcast), Elaine and her guests get real sharing the mistakes and aligned action for you to do less and live more. As a business owner and career leader, this podcast is here to help you create your own definition of success and happiness.
So bring your coffee, tea, or boba for some realtalk every Thursday!
