Summary
#949. Can you have a successful career, a strong marriage… and still feel like yourself?
Today, Kaitlyn sits down with Elena Cardone for a conversation that goes way deeper than “having it all.”
From a traumatic moment at 14 that shaped how she showed up in relationships… to leaving everything behind to build a multi-billion dollar empire… Elena shares the mindset shifts that changed the trajectory of her life.
They get into identity, independence, and what it actually means to be in a “support role”—and why she sees it as power, not limitation. Elena also opens up about why she doesn’t bring relationship problems to her friends, the importance of doing your own internal work, and the kind of sacrifice it really takes to build something lasting.
Plus—money. The difference between saving vs storing, how to start thinking like an investor, and what women are getting wrong when it comes to building wealth.

| 1:28.2 | ambition or what having it all might look like, this one's going to hit. Okay, I want to know first off, |

| 1:45.0 | Yeah. Forced you? Yeah. I witnessed my best friend who lived across the street, |
| 1:51.7 | parish in a house fire with her mother. No. Yeah, at 14. So every time I was going... Oh, that just made my heart drop. I know. It was, it was horrific. Yeah, yeah. And obviously a lot of trauma |
