colorful futures, the podcast
"Colorful Futures" is the podcast that'll make you want to jump out of bed on Tuesday mornings. (Okay, maybe not jump, but at least crawl with a bit more enthusiasm.) Host Liora Alvarez, Founder of Colorful Futures, is all about helping you craft a career that's as unique and fabulous as you are.
Here's the deal: we believe in building a life that's not just about paying the bills, but also about making your soul do a happy dance. Whether you're neurodivergent, queer, BIPOC, gender-marginalized, or just feeling a bit 'square peg in a round hole' - we've got your back.
So whether you're dreaming of diving into a whole new industry, or breaking free from the 9-to-5 grind, or just want a job that doesn't make you want to hide under your desk - we're here to help you paint your future in all the colors of the rainbow (and then some).
Picture this: you, a comfy chair, and conversations so real they'll make you forget you're wearing headphones. We bring you chats with folks who've been there, done that, and got the t-shirt (and maybe a few battle scars) in entrepreneurship, career pivots, and the mythical work-life balance. No sugar-coating, no corporate jargon - just honest talk and practical advice that'll make you say, "Why didn't I think of that?"
Join us for some laughs, a few "aha!" moments, and the occasional ugly cry as we navigate this crazy thing called "career" together. Trust us, it's going to be one heck of a ride - and we can't wait to have you along for it! 💖
S1 E9: Building a Biz, the Neurodivergent Way
Calming the chaos of self-employment isn’t easy, especially as a neurodivergent entrepreneur. In this episode, I share my go-to strategies for organizing ideas, evolving business plans, and creating systems that actually work for ADHD brains. 🎧✨
S1 E8: finding authentic confidence (part two)
Welcome back to the Colorful Futures Podcast! This week, we’re back with part two of my chat with confidence coach Erika Eileen, and things are getting even spicier. We’re tackling the not-so-glamorous journey of self-discovery—you know, the one where you’re trying to figure out who you are while untangling all the fun (read: chaotic) influences like family dynamics, ADHD, and queerness. 🙃
Erika and I talk about how fashion isn’t just about looking cute; it’s a powerful tool for self-expression and identity. Plus, we dig into why confidence isn’t some linear journey with a finish line—it’s more like a chaotic road trip with detours, breakdowns, and unexpected views. And let’s not forget the importance of staying open-minded because, spoiler alert: life never goes exactly how you planned.
If you’re ready to laugh, reflect, and maybe rethink your own self-expression, grab your snack of choice, something cozy, and settle in. Let’s get real about what it means to show up authentically in a world that loves to throw curveballs. 💖
