Workplace Confessions: Behind Closed Doors
Hosted by best friends Dawn and Elsa, the podcast blends decades of experience across very different industries. Dawn spent 25 years as an employment lawyer investigating workplace drama from the inside out. Elsa built a long career in the beauty industry as a brand educator, with a few TV cameos along the way. Together, they’re unapologetic extroverts who meet new people everywhere—and always want to know how they got their jobs, what they love about them, what they can’t stand, and what really goes on behind closed doors.
Equal parts informative and titillating, Workplace Confessions serves up all the tea while honoring the incredible, complicated, often messy work people are doing across industries and across the map.
