Rabbi David Wolpe is a leading rabbi in America, an author, speaker, and was named one of the most influential people in America by Time magazine. He was also named the most influential rabbi in America by Newsweek. We had a fascinating conversation truly about how more alike we are than different. I asked the Rabbi the question: does religion divide us or does it unite us? It seems like it divides it to me.  But we talked about how we were all more similar. And the fact that, you know what? We all kind of want the same thing. So we built a bridge, not a wall. I hope you like the show today.

I'm Danica Patrick and I'm Pretty Intense!  

I believe that each and every one of us has the power within ourselves to create the life that we really want.  And I want to inspire you to go conquer your dreams, both professionally and personally.

That's why I created this podcast. 

We can learn together with intense discussions with my guests about life, inspiring ideas and ultimately realize our true best self.   

Our guests will be from all aspects of life:   They're going to be family,  friends,  celebrities,  musicians, artists, experts and entrepreneurs.

Sometimes people haven't necessarily been asked a certain question or maybe someone hasn't thought a certain way or even challenge themselves.  And I feel like for me: I got that therapy through interviews. So, this podcast is going to be intense therapy! 

We're gonna go as deep as we can possibly go with people and learn what learn how they what they did, and how you can too.  

Join me for this deep dive...my only warning is, it could get Pretty Intense!

Today on The Pretty Intense Podcast my guest is Matthew Hussey. This is the second time Matthew has been on the show, and he has so much more to teach us. Matthew Hussey, a renowned speaker and relationship expert, emphasizes the detrimental impact of the stories we tell ourselves. He suggests that these narratives can often hold us back from reaching our full potential. Whether it's convincing ourselves that we're not good enough, capable enough, or deserving enough, these self-imposed limitations prevent us from taking risks and seizing opportunities in life and love. By recognizing and challenging these stories, Hussey encourages individuals to rewrite their narratives, empowering themselves to break free from self-imposed constraints and pursue their goals with confidence and determination. Hussey's insights underscore the importance of self-awareness and the power of mindset in overcoming obstacles and achieving personal growth.
