Elena Cardone | Can You Have It All? (Marriage, Money & Identity) May 28, 2026

Show notes

#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.

Misha Brown | Be Your Own Bestie! May 26, 2026

Show notes

#948. Kaitlyn sits down with bestselling author, performer, and the internet’s brutally honest best friend, “Your Bestie Misha,” Misha Brown.

They get into everything — from his early days performing on cruise ships (and the wild, truly unhinged stories that come with it) to chasing Broadway, getting sober, and completely reinventing his life.

They also dive into his new book Be Your Own Bestie, including the S.A.S.S. approach, what confidence actually looks like in real life, and the viral “Lessons in Not Crossing a Gay Man” series.

It’s funny, real, and feels a little like getting called out by a best friend… in the way you probably need!

Chari Hawkins | The Olympic Moment That Broke Her… And What Happened Next! May 21, 2026

Show notes

#947. Chari Hawkins lived every athlete’s dream by making it to the Olympics… and then had her hardest moment play out on the world stage.

We get into that viral Olympic moment, what it really felt like behind the scenes, and why she chose to keep competing when most people would’ve walked away.

But this goes way deeper—Chari opens up about the mental work it takes to not spiral, shares tools you can actually use in your own life, and what it really looks like to train both physically and mentally at that level.

We also talk about the decade-long grind to the heptathlon, the financial realities of being an athlete, and her next chapter—writing a memoir and a children’s book.

Emotional, eye-opening, and genuinely motivating—this one stays with you!

Arielle Vandenberg | Thick Hair, Real Boobs And The WAP! May 12, 2026

Show notes

#944. This episode started as a simple game… and somehow turned into a full conversation about WAP’s!

Arielle Vandenberg is back, and instead of behaving like adults, they play a “don’t spit out your water” challenge using the most random things they could find in their houses. Kaitlyn kicks it off by pulling out testosterone cream for her dry puss… which is exactly how we learn Arielle is, well… thriving. Must be nice.

From there it’s just chaos—spit takes, unhinged reveals, Two Truths and a Lie, a quick Bieber Fever throwback, a mini Val-from-DWTS spiral, and at some point, someone is forced to text “the rash went away…” to a very unsuspecting contact.

It’s ridiculous, it’s unfiltered, and it fully feels like you’re eavesdropping on two friends who should not be left alone with microphones.

Christina Kirkman | The Reality of Being a Nickelodeon Child Star! May 05, 2026

Show notes

#942. You might remember her as the girl who won her way onto Nickelodeon… but that’s only the beginning. This week, Kaitlyn sits down with Christina Kirkman for a raw and unexpectedly emotional conversation about growing up in the spotlight, losing your identity, and finding your way back.

Christina shares what it was really like winning a nationwide competition with over 10,000 kids and being thrown into one of the biggest shows of our childhood, All That. But what happens after the cameras stop?

From bullying and becoming a “shell” of herself, to years of rejection and rebuilding her confidence, she opens up about the long road back — and why she realized she wasn’t chasing fame, she just genuinely loved performing.

They also get into where she’s at now: stepping back into acting on her own terms, and the dream roles she’s finally ready for (female Deadpool, anyone?). One of those conversations that reminds you how much can change when you finally choose yourself!

Fancy Hagood | One of Us Texted a Therapist… The Other Texted a Pretty Little Liar! Apr 30, 2026

Show notes

#941. Oh you fancy, huh? Well… yes. He literally is.

Today Fancy Hagood is on the pod, and he shares his story — with a lot of humor along the way.

He was signed to Scooter Braun and launched under the name “Who Is Fancy”… because they literally hid his identity while pushing his music. We talk about what that was like behind the scenes, being a gay man in the industry, and why fitting into the “right version” of yourself still matters more than it should.

And then… we completely spiral.

We play a game where you either answer the question — or you have to text someone: “still thinking about that one time…”, with no context.

One of us texted a therapist. The other texted a Pretty Little Liar.

This episode is chaotic, full of tangents, and a lot of laughs. Enjoy!

David Archuleta | What Happened After American Idol: Leaving the Mormon Church & Coming Out! Apr 28, 2026

Show notes

#940. At 16, David Archuleta was living out what looked like a dream on American Idol…

But behind the scenes, he was hiding who he really was — from the world, from his faith, and even from himself.

In this episode, David opens up about growing up Mormon while questioning his sexuality, being engaged to women while knowing he was attracted to men, and the emotional toll of living a double life. He shares what it was like navigating fame at such a young age with a controlling “dadager” — his father who managed every part of his career.

This is a raw conversation about identity, pressure, family dynamics, and what it really costs to live authentically!
