LA Weekly awarded Elaine as the #1 Thought Leader in 2023, and MSN recognized her as the Best Leadership & Executive Coach in 2024. Elaine has online courses with LinkedIn, Duke, Brown, Penn and USC.
On the WOC and Allies: Business and Career Realtalk™ Podcast (formerly known as the Color Your Dreams podcast), Elaine reminds you that your definition of happiness in work and life can evolve.

As a business owner and career leader, this podcast is here to help you overcome overwhelm, while protecting your peace. So bring your coffee, tea, or boba for some realtalk every other Thursday! @elainelou_ // www.elainelou.com

115: My Mid-Year 2025 Check-In: What’s working, what’s not & my predictions
I just ended an incredible May, increasing my revenue by 65%. This month, I’m working on 2 courses for a company and partying a lot.
But it’s not what you think, I have kid birthday parties literally every weekend #weold
We’re half way through the year, and it’s my half-time, so I’m doing my own mid-year check-in to hopefully motivate you to also do your OWN mid-year check-in.
Special bonus, I’m also sharing exactly what I’m doing to honor a slower summer season, and what I’m focusing on for fall when things ramp up again.
What We Cover in This Episode:
- What’s been working for me - aka how the hell we’re doing really well despite this chaotic mess rn)
- What’s NOT working - Don’t worry this podcast episode isn’t a highlight reel, I get #realreal
- And my predictions for future trends - I’ve been spot on lately
