If It’s Not a Hell Yes, It’s a Hell No

You got the version of you that shows up to the sales call. And the version who talks how she talks, wears her hair how she wears it, laughs at the jokes she laughs at.

Somewhere along the way, you decided only one of them gets paid. My guest this week is CT Luna, author of Brown Beyond Borders: Emerging into Golden Multi-Dimensionality .

I read it in two sittings and closed it feeling lighter. So I brought her on, and we walked her book through my UNMASK framework, letter by letter.

She tells me why she walked out of a job less than two months in, and what her inner critic screamed the whole time. Tune in to learn the chocolate cake theory of life (yes, I asked about apple pie) and why a professional ghostwriter took so long to put her own name on a cover.

Luna About C.T. Luna C.T.

Luna is a biracial, multicultural author, writer, career coach and host of the Golden Creatives Talk podcast. Born in Trinidad to a Trinidadian father and a Swiss mother, she grew up navigating spaces that tried to categorize her, and chose to embrace every facet of herself: Trinidadian, Swiss, educated European, culturally American, Black, and unabashedly Brown.

Her career across the United States and Switzerland taught her that the journey to golden multidimensionality begins and ends with recognizing your authentic self. Her debut book, Brown Beyond Borders: Emerging Into Golden Multidimensionality, is her self-love story and a roadmap for readers’ own self-discovery.

Her mission is to empower Black and Brown women to uncover their fullest potential. Connect with C.T.
