“The Ballet of Becoming": Mona Elsaka’s ...

Pineapple Audio Production
About this episode

This week on the Quality of Life Podcast, Raha sits down with global strategist, storyteller, former ballerina and proud single mother of two — Mona Elsaka,


With over 20 years of experience working with Fortune 100 companies and leading some of the most iconic sports and entertainment partnerships in the world, Mona’s career is powerful on paper but even more powerful in person.


In this open and deeply honest conversation, she shares:

  • Her visual triangle of quality of life and what sits at the top of it
  • How she rebuilt her identity after divorce and burnout
  • The grief of losing both parents young and how it shaped her independence
  • Why her two sons are her greatest source of joy and strength
  • The deep power of female friendship and why her girlfriends are her board of directors
  • The moment a therapist asked her the question that changed everything: who are you without the titles?
  • Why ballet helped her reconnect to herself after years of forgetting
  • What people don’t see behind the glamorous world of global partnerships
  • Her honest take on mental strength, asking for help and what it means to really pick yourself up
  • The pressure of performance, the beauty of softness and why resilience is her true superpower
  • This is not just a conversation about career or motherhood. It’s about remembering who you are, choosing to grow through the hard seasons, and showing up as yourself, one day at a time.


📚 Mona’s Book and Life Picks

  • Let Them by Mel Robbins
  • Daily rituals of dance, classical music and drawer organizing
  • Favorite mantra: Everything happens for a reason. One day at a time.


🍕 Guilty pleasures: pizza and a little numbing TV in the background
