Danica Patrick Opens Up About Breast Implant Illness, Inflammation, and Starting Over

About this episode

Danica Patrick discusses her experiences with breast implant illness and the psychology behind elite performance.

The most decorated woman in motorsports history will tell you she feared losing far more than she loved winning, and that fear is exactly what drove her to the top. In this episode, I’m with racing legend Danica Patrick to unpack the psychology of elite performance, from the “blind faith” that carried her through two decades of racing to the nervous system conditioning she built starting at age 10. What would be possible for you if you learned to channel pressure instead of escaping it? Want ad-free episodes?
