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 Natania, 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! 💖
