Struggling with what to do next? Need honest realtalk cause you’re tired of the curated highlight reels on the socials? And want strategies to get out of your own way?
Your host, Elaine Lou Cartas, a first-generation 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, quit jobs, changed careers three times, and been in debt. Elaine’s success story? She’s always done what’s true to herself and wants you to know it’s possible too. She’s a former grassroots organizer, and nonprofit fundraiser who raised $11 million.
On the WOC and Allies: Business and Career Realtalk™ Podcast (formerly known as the Color Your Dreams® podcast), Elaine and her guests get real when it comes to mistakes, growth and aligned action to help you create your own definition of success and happiness. Whether you’re a business owner or an executive leader, this podcast offers the tools to simplify workloads, reduce anxiety, and build sustainable systems that work for you and your team.
So bring your coffee, tea, or boba for some realtalk every Thursday!
