The World's #1 leading authority on behavior profiling, nonverbal human communication, influence, and persuasion, Chase Hughes, reveals the psychological systems secretly shaping modern society, and why he believes humanity is living through the biggest PSY OP in history.From government manipulation and engineered division to consciousness, DMT, spirituality, and the loneliness epidemic, this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown goes far beyond politics and exposes the hidden forces influencing how we think, behave, comply, and perceive reality itself.Chase explains why anger is the media's most powerful weapon, how fear and tribalism are used to manipulate entire populations, and why most people don't realize they're being psychologically programmed in real time. He breaks down his FATE Model (Focus, Authority, Tribe, Emotion) and reveals how governments, institutions, and social media exploit ancient mammalian survival instincts to control human behavior.He also shares why he believes the global response to Covid was the largest psy op ever conducted, why ostracization is humanity's deepest fear, and how the threat of social rejection can override logic, morality, and independent thinking.The conversation then takes a profound turn into spirituality, altered states of consciousness, and the nature of reality itself.After 9 military deployments and witnessing the psychological effects of violence and desensitization, Chase began searching for deeper answers about consciousness, meaning, and human connection. He describes his first guided DMT experience as “death by astonishment” and “smoking an alien microchip,” revealing the mysterious “code” he saw during the experience and why it completely transformed his understanding of reality, and saved his life.Chase explores whether consciousness is something we create or something we access, why “everything is consciousness” could explain quantum entanglement, and why some people appear to be “banned” from the DMT realm entirely.He also breaks down the hidden similarities across ancient spiritual texts, the most repeated phrase throughout human history's sacred writings (including 7 Hermetic Principles & the Emerald Tablets), the illusion of separation, and why modern society may be engineering psychopathic behavior through digital isolation and performative social media culture.Chase Hughes also breaks down:- Why history predicts future government behavior- Psychology of mass compliance- Why social media may be destroying authentic human connection- Whether anyone can truly live authentically anymore- Loneliness epidemic & digital relationships- Why we have more in common with political opponents than with the people manipulating us- What humanity gets wrong about prayer- How perception of reality became the throughline of Chase's life work- Why manipulation works best when people believe they are immune to itThis is one of the deepest conversations we've ever had on psychology, consciousness, propaganda, spirituality, manipulation, human behavior, DMT, media control, social engineering, and the future of society.FFRF: If that matters to you, go to http://FFRF.US/BREAKDOWN or text, “BREAKDOWN” to 511511 to learn more and join.For a limited time, get $250 off Cove Pure water filtration at http://www.covepure.com/breakdownMachine Washable Rugs, Made Better.

In honor of Men's Mental Health Month, we're revisiting an episode we've always been proud of from 2022 with Charlamagne tha God (host of the widely popular radio show, The Breakfast Club, bestselling author, philanthropist) as he discusses his journey to discovering his true self apart from his famous radio persona, how CBT therapy taught him to unlearn, and his positive and frightening encounters with the spirit realm. He opens up about his history with panic attacks, the vigilance he developed while selling drugs, and how anxiety can sometimes be his superpower. Charlamagne details growing up Jehovah's Witness, why he believes God is a woman, and the origins of his dark sense of humor. He explains why he uses his authentic, unapologetic voice to touch on touchy subjects especially around mental health gaps in the Black community, including the intergenerational trauma and institutional racism that can prevent minorities from seeking support. Mayim and Charlamagne consider anxiety around returning to our hometowns and bond over their love for Marvel comics and Judy Blume books.Make your summer wardrobe feel easier.

World-renowned astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson (Author of Take Me To Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter) returns to the Mayim Bialik's Breakdown studio for one of his most mind-bending conversations yet, covering UFOs, aliens, consciousness, near death experiences, secret government speculation, DMT entities, Antarctica's hidden lakes, and what humanity may discover beyond Earth.Neil reveals why he REFUSED an invitation to inspect an alleged alien body and explains what most people get wrong about extraterrestrials. He shares his biggest problems with how aliens are portrayed in Hollywood, why alien life may not need to be silicon-based, and whether stories about reverse-engineered UFO technology (including theories involving the Wright Brothers) hold any scientific weight.He also addresses the mysterious deaths and disappearances of U.S. scientists connected to nuclear research and aerospace programs, and whether any of it could realistically be tied to nonhuman intelligence, UAPs, or classified technology.The conversation goes even deeper into consciousness and altered states. We explore the controversial DMT laser protocol experiments and why so many experiencers report seeing the same “source code,” encountering entities, communicating with departed souls, or entering what feels like other dimensions. Neil explains the scientific evidence he would require before accepting out-of-body experiences or near death experiences as real phenomena existing outside the brain.He also reveals why he has never used drugs, why he does not believe consciousness survives bodily death, and breaks down his fascinating “3 varieties of truth” framework for understanding reality itself.Plus:- What Neil deGrasse Tyson hopes humanity's first contact with aliens would actually look like- How aliens & UFOs became mainstream cultural topics- Why he wanted to become part of the alien conversation- Whether underground lakes beneath Antarctica could serve as models for icy alien oceans elsewhere in the solar system- Future of astrobiology, extraterrestrial discovery, & human understanding of consciousnessThis is one of the deepest and most controversial discussions Neil deGrasse Tyson has ever had on aliens, UFOs, DMT, consciousness, near death experiences, and the search for life beyond Earth!Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson's latest book, Take Me To Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter: https://neildegrassetyson.com/books/2026-05-take-me-to-your-leader/Follow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/BialikBreakdown.comYouTube.com/mayimbialikSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if your struggles, heartbreaks, illnesses, relationships, and biggest challenges were never random, but lessons your soul chose before you were born?In this very special episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Mayim and Jonathan investigate one of the most controversial spiritual ideas ever discussed: Earth School — the theory that Earth is a classroom for the soul, and that every experience in your life has a deeper purpose.Near death experiencers around the world report strikingly similar revelations:- Choosing their lives before birth- Seeing a life review after death- Discovering a hidden purpose behind suffering- Learning that consciousness may survive physical deathBut that's only the beginning.Ancient civilizations separated by oceans, languages, and thousands of years all appear to describe the same mysterious journey of the soul. Could Plato, Tibetan mystics, Kabbalists, Buddhists, Hindu sages, and modern NDE survivors all be pointing toward the same hidden truth?We're breaking down:- Shocking NDEs that reveal life as a "school"- Why many NDE survivors return convinced they chose their challenges- ncient story of a man who died, returned, and described souls selecting their next lives- Forgotten biblical teachings about reincarnation that were later rejected by church authorities- Tibetan, Buddhist, Hindu, Greek, and Kabbalistic traditions that describe the soul's evolution- Mysterious phenomenon of children who remember previous lives- Scientific research investigating NDEs & consciousness beyond death- Why suffering may be a lesson, not a punishment- Theory that humanity may be part of a much larger cosmic experiment- Whether Earth School is spiritual truth...or humanity's greatest coping mechanismWhether you're a skeptic, spiritual seeker, philosopher, or simply wondering why you're here, this conversation will challenge everything you think you know about life, death, and the journey of the soul.If life isn't happening TO you—but FOR you—what lesson are you here to learn?Class is in session.Full episode with Betty Guadagno: https://art19.com/shows/mayim-bialiks-breakdown/episodes/19072ff3-528c-4247-bb6e-b90d26a58212Full episode with Dr. Raymond Moody: https://rss.art19.com/episodes/2560c428-3814-4dbf-9a10-aacc692ae0d8.mp3Full episode with Dr. Bruce Greyson: https://art19.com/shows/mayim-bialiks-breakdown/episodes/4e43ce85-fa70-4dbd-b379-3d27e4a5e4c9Full episode with Dr. Jim Tucker: https://art19.com/shows/mayim-bialiks-breakdown/episodes/51710fc8-a5df-4302-bdc9-ef2fb67ddda8If you're struggling with OCD or unrelenting intrusive thoughts, NOCD can help.

Former U.S. Navy F/A-18F pilot Ryan Graves reveals what REALLY happened behind the Pentagon's UFO disclosures, and whether the newly released UAP files are hiding something even bigger.As one of the most credible voices in the UFO/UAP conversation, Graves breaks down shocking encounters military pilots experienced firsthand, including near mid-air collisions with unexplained objects described as “a cube inside a sphere,” mysterious black triangles, and even a bizarre “15-foot disco ball” spotted in restricted airspace.On this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, he explains why elite military radar systems suddenly started detecting anomalies pilots couldn't even see with their own eyes, and why many aviators feared they might crash into these unidentified objects during missions.Ryan also dives into the infamous Tic Tac UFO and Gimbal UFO incidents involving David Fravor, how military leadership allegedly kept the phenomenon quiet for years, and the terrifying realization among pilots that these encounters were happening far more often than anyone knew.The biggest unanswered questions:- Where are these objects coming from?- How are they operating?- Why do they appear to defy physics?- And why does the government still seem unable (or unwilling) to explain them?Graves explains how highly trained military pilots are uniquely qualified witnesses due to their professionalism, emotional control, and advanced observational training, making their testimonies impossible to casually dismiss. He also reveals why so many commercial and military pilots are still afraid to report UAP sightings despite the fact that commercial pilots reportedly witness unexplained phenomena up to 5 times per day.Ryan shares disturbing patterns involving UAP activity near nuclear sites, reports of craft moving seamlessly from air to water, and accounts of objects seemingly reacting intelligently to pilot maneuvers.He opens up about the personal and professional consequences of speaking publicly about UAPs, what finally pushed him to come forward, and why he founded Americans for Safe Aerospace (ASA) to create a secure environment for pilots and military personnel to report encounters safely.Ryan also explains how investigators separate credible data from misinformation, rumors, and internet hoaxes while building serious scientific and national security frameworks around the UAP issue.If even a fraction of these encounters are real, the implications are massive...Visit Americans for Safe Aerospace where you can report UAP and learn more about their work: https://www.safeaerospace.org/ Follow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/BialikBreakdown.comYouTube.com/mayimbialikSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In honor of Pride Month AND PTSD Awareness Month, we're revisiting an awesome episode from 2022 with Raven-Symoné & her wife Miranda Pearman-Maday (content creator, producer, writer, doula)!They joined us to discuss defense mechanisms, their individual therapy journeys, and the confining nature of labels when it comes to sexuality and gender. They explain how their sexualities protected their true identities and their struggles with depression. Raven opens up about her past relationships with people with narcissistic tendencies, her parents' reservations about therapy, and her PTSD and anger challenges. She and Mayim bond over their strikingly similar coping mechanisms from having grown up as child actors, their abilities to read others, and how celebrity can heighten people-pleasing tendencies. Miranda reveals how somatic therapy has helped her, and Raven shares her positive experiences with shadow and energy work.Follow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/BialikBreakdown.comYouTube.com/mayimbialikSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
What if EVERYTHING we know about reality is missing a deeper operating system?In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Brian Keating (professor of physics, experimental cosmologist, and host of the Into the Impossible podcast) dives into the biggest unanswered questions in science, consciousness, God, the Big Bang, extraterrestrial life, simulation theory, and the hidden limits of human knowledge.Dr. Keating breaks down:- Why humanity NEEDS a Grand Unified Theory before we can ever reach a true “Theory of Everything”, and how scientists are trying to uncover the operating system of reality itself- “A telescope is a time machine”: How looking into deep space is literally looking backward through time toward the origins of existence- Shocking scientific and philosophical implications of the Big Bang, and the terrifying question: What was BEFORE time?- Could another universe have collapsed to create ours?- Why studying space-time itself may unlock secrets hidden before the beginning of the universe- Why the Big Bang explains the expanding universe, and where modern cosmology still breaks down- How Dr. Keating reconciles being both a scientist & a person of faith- Can God & science coexist? How God may tie into the creation of the universe through a scientific lens- Why God's existence should not be subjected to scientific testing- Hidden limits of both religion AND scientific data- Where consciousness may actually come from according to modern physics- Why the role of scientists is not to “prove” things- Why even world-famous scientists secretly struggle with imposter syndrome- Deistic implications of the Simulation Hypothesis, and whether reality itself could be engineered- Search for extraterrestrial life: why we still have ZERO confirmed evidence despite viral claims- Debunking alleged “signs of life” on Mars and separating science from speculation- His take on the mysterious deaths and disappearances of U.S. scientists connected to nuclear & aerospace research- Could unexplained events be connected to UAPs, nonhuman intelligence, or classified technology?- Cattle mutilations, alleged energy weapons, and why unexplained phenomena always breed suspicion- Why uncertainty is one of the most dangerous (and fascinating) forces in human civilizationThis episode explores the edge where cosmology, philosophy, consciousness, religion, and the unknown collide.If you're fascinated by the Big Bang, aliens, simulation theory, UAPs, consciousness, physics, God, or the future of humanity, this conversation will completely change how you think about reality itself!Substack newsletter & transcript: https://briankeating.substack.com//mbbMayim's viewers only — win a real 4.3-billion-year-old meteorite: https://briankeating.com/mbbDr. Brian Keating's podcast, Into the Impossible: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJGKdZD30K_9rVCDAdRSwoJLi5ls6JN-qDr. Brian Keating's books: https://briankeating.com/books/Follow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/BialikBreakdown.comYouTube.com/mayimbialikSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

She escaped an arranged marriage the DAY AFTER her mother died…and what happened next will leave you speechless.In this unforgettable episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Zarna Garg reveals the raw, shocking, and deeply inspiring story behind her rise, from fleeing tradition under unimaginable circumstances to becoming one of the boldest voices in comedy today.After losing her mother, Zarna made a life-altering decision overnight—running away from an arranged marriage and surviving by couch surfing for 2 years. What kept her going? A surprising legacy of kindness her mom left behind that saved her life.From immigrating to America with nothing, to redefining her identity on her own terms, Zarna shares what America truly means to her and why she believes destiny had a hand in her success.She opens up about love, loss, and rebellion - how she navigated dating solo (including her wildly unique online dating ad!) and ultimately found her perfect match.Encouraged by her own kids, Zarna took a leap into stand-up comedy...and never looked back. Today, she's breaking stereotypes, pushing boundaries, and challenging cultural norms with every punchline.Zarna addresses the backlash she faced for performing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival—and why she did it anyway, hoping to inspire women in marginalized communities.She gets real about the tough questions:- Did her father's death change how she sees karma?- Why should you NEVER ask your partner “what are you thinking?”- Is Western culture completely misunderstanding yoga?- Are beauty standards harsher in India or America?Plus, her hilarious takes on:- Growing up influenced by American culture & sibling birth order- Why she loves Mayim's "Amy Farrah Fowler" character from The Big Bang Theory- Balancing cultural pride without “demonizing” her roots for Western audiences Zarna also shares her powerful belief that ALL religions hold value, and how she's built her own philosophy by taking the best from each.This is more than comedy. It's survival, rebellion, identity, and destiny...all wrapped in one incredible story you don't want to miss. Her perspective might completely change how you see culture, courage, and what it really means to choose your own life!Go to https://bioptimizers.com/breaker and use code BREAKER for 15% off. 2026 is the year you finally start sleeping great again.Go to https://tidd.ly/4uVltMe and use the code MAYIM50 to get $50 off your Elastique order.Check out Wondering Jews with Mijal and Noam podcast and subscribe: https://unpacked.bio/nmxGet the Discounted Early Bird registration to the IANDS Annual conference before the sale ends July 15.

Dr. Rick Doblin (founder and president of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, and one of the most influential figures in psychedelic science) returns to Mayim Bialik's Breakdown for one of the most controversial and eye-opening conversations on psychedelics we've had yet.From the shocking experiment where scientists gave MDMA to an octopus, to why ibogaine may be the most powerful AND dangerous psychedelic ever studied, this episode explores the future of psychedelic therapy, trauma healing, addiction recovery, policy reform, and human consciousness itself.We break down Trump's new executive order accelerating psychedelic research and what it could mean for the future legalization of psychedelic-assisted therapy in America. Dr. Doblin explains why veterans suffering from PTSD and disabilities have become central to bipartisan support for psychedelics, and why this issue is now reshaping politics on both sides of the aisle.We also dive deep into ibogaine: its mysterious origins, its ability to help reset opioid addiction, its connection to ancestral memory and intergenerational trauma, why it carries serious risks, and why Dr. Doblin still believes its benefits may outweigh the dangers. He also shares his own profound ibogaine experience that helped him confront perfectionism and his fear of death.Dr. Doblin discusses:- How psychedelics help people integrate trauma- Why psychedelics are generally considered non-addictive- Difference between recreational vs therapeutic psychedelic use- Why psychedelic treatment should be customized to each patient- Importance of integration, peer support, and paying attention to dreams after treatment- Measures of success in MDMA-assisted couples therapy- Origins of the opioid epidemic- "Psychedelic churches": How organizations are openly operating under the umbrella of religion- Capitalism vs democratizing the benefits of psychedelic medicine- How a better psychedelic therapy model could be built- Why transparency is critical for science-backed drug policy reform- When psychedelics may realistically enter the open market- Dr. Doblin's long-term vision for a psychedelic-informed publicAs psychedelic research rapidly expands worldwide, this conversation explores the science, politics, risks, ethics, and revolutionary potential behind one of the fastest-growing movements in mental health and medicine!DISCLAIMER: MBB is not providing medical or legal advice. Listeners should speak to their doctor before engaging in any course of psychedelic protocols. Psychedelics are still illegal in many places - MBB is not encouraging engaging in illegal substance use, but simply sharing the latest scientific insights from our guests.Learn more about MAPS & their research: https://maps.org/To learn more about the world's largest psychedelic conference, Psychedelic Science, taking place in Denver, CO next year, visit: https://virtualtrip.maps.org/Follow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/BialikBreakdown.comYouTube.com/mayimbialikSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

He also shares his own profound ibogaine experience that helped him confront perfectionism and his fear of death.Dr. Doblin discusses:- How psychedelics help people integrate trauma- Why psychedelics are generally considered non-addictive- Difference between recreational vs therapeutic psychedelic use- Why psychedelic treatment should be customized to each patient- Importance of integration, peer support, and paying attention to dreams after treatment- Measures of success in MDMA-assisted couples therapy- Origins of the opioid epidemic- "Psychedelic churches": How organizations are openly operating under the umbrella of religion- Capitalism vs democratizing the benefits of psychedelic medicine- How a better psychedelic therapy model could be built- Why transparency is critical for science-backed drug policy reform- When psychedelics may realistically enter the open market- Dr. Doblin's long-term vision for a psychedelic-informed publicAs psychedelic research rapidly expands worldwide, this conversation explores the science, politics, risks, ethics, and revolutionary potential behind one of the fastest-growing movements in mental health and medicine!DISCLAIMER: MBB is not providing medical or legal advice.

What if EVERYTHING you've been taught about science, consciousness, and even your own thoughts…is incomplete? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Robert Edward Grant (renowned polymath, inventor, entrepreneur, mathematician, philosopher, host of the series Code X on Gaia.com) pulls back the veil on reality itself, revealing why millions are feeling an intense shift right now as humanity crosses into the Age of Aquarius. This isn't just spiritual talk - it's a radical fusion of math, physics, ancient wisdom, and consciousness that will leave you questioning everything. Why are so many people experiencing massive life transitions right now? Is the universe actually NOT material? Are your thoughts even happening inside your brain, or somewhere else entirely? We go deep into the hidden patterns that connect numerology, astrology, mythology, and sacred geometry, uncovering why music is literally “the geometry we hear” and how math might be the source code of reality itself. Robert shares his shocking personal journey, from Big Pharma CEO to spiritual seeker, and how repeated betrayal led him to one profound realization: You are here to learn unconditional love. Discover why what you judge is exactly what you attract, why he believes everyone must go through narcissism as part of their evolution, and whether ancient civilizations like Egypt, and even Leonardo da Vinci, have known secrets about higher-dimensional geometry that we're only now rediscovering. Robert breaks down: - What if the brain isn't a storage device, but an antenna tuning into a non-local field of consciousness? - Are there hidden codes embedded in da Vinci's art? - What is the Akashic field, and could all memory (past, present, and future) exist in an invisible infrasonic frequency field connecting Earth, the sun, and human thought? - If reality is a simulation, what happens when you become lucid inside it? - Why science and spirituality are not opposites, but the same language - How all disciplines (math, biology, psychology, physics, philosophy) are just different lenses of one truth - Deeper meaning behind the most popular song the week you were born - Why prime factorization is the foundation of encryption, and possibly reality itself - His belief that God is still learning and evolving - Why he doesn't fear “dark people”, only those who deny their darkness - How much of your life is actually predestined - Why polymaths appear on the walls of the Vatican - Mystery behind his favorite number, 137 His ultimate message? You don't need a guru. You don't need AI. You don't need religion. Everything you're searching for is already within you. If you're ready to rethink reality, consciousness, and your place in the universe, this is the conversation you've been waiting for.

What if everything you've been told about fitness, hormones, dieting, and “healthy habits” was built for the WRONG body? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Stacy Sims (exercise physiologist and leading expert in female nutrition & performance) exposes the shocking truth about why women are STILL misunderstood in science, and how it's silently wrecking health, metabolism, and longevity. Dr. Sims breaks down: – Why women are drastically underrepresented in research (and why it's more complicated than just sexism) – Hidden biological & hormonal differences that make “one-size-fits-all” health advice completely ineffective for women – Dark side of GLP-1 weight loss drugs, diet culture, and over-exercising, and how they're quietly destroying quality of life – Strength training: Why lifting heavy is the key to fat loss, brain health, longevity, & hormonal balance – Alarming link between contraceptives, brain development, anxiety, & bone density in young women – Why fasting doesn't work the same for women & how it can backfire hard – Why women NEED higher body fat & why chasing “lean” can be harmful – Overlooked connection between muscle, glucose control, brain function, & osteoporosis prevention – How poor nutrition is ruining your sleep (and the surprising food that can fix it fast) – Dangers hiding in peptides – Why most multivitamins are failing you (and how too much of ONE nutrient can actually harm you) – Nutrient deficiencies almost everyone is dealing with (especially if you're busy, stressed, & overworked) – Why diet & exercise feel impossible for so many women & the systemic reasons behind it – Science behind saunas, cold plunges, & whether they're actually worth it – Creatine explained like never before: brain fog, stress resilience, ADHD, sleep cycles, muscle performance - who needs it & how much – Why you might be drinking water WRONG (and how overhydration is making you bloated) – Shocking differences in lifespan vs. healthspan between men and women, especially for Alzheimer's & dementia – How strength training can literally protect your brain as you age – 5 NON-NEGOTIABLE habits every woman needs during perimenopause & menopause – Fiber intake mistakes that are wrecking gut health and hormones (especially after 40) – Why Hormone Replacement Therapy isn't the answer for everyone, and what to do instead – How AI & social media are spreading dangerous health misinformation (why women are the biggest targets!)

What if everything you've been told about mental health is backwards? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown in honor of Mental Health Month, Dr. Paul Conti (psychiatrist & President of Pacific Premier Group PC) reveals why focusing on what's wrong with you may actually be keeping you stuck, and how a completely different approach can unlock resilience, hope, and real change. We dive into the shocking truth that MORE THAN HALF of physical health issues may originate from mental health, and why treating symptoms alone (with medication or endless information) often misses the root cause entirely. You'll learn why overdiagnosis is more dangerous than you think, how self-fulfilling prophecies quietly shape your reality, and why “feeling fine” might be the biggest thing holding you back. Dr. Conti breaks down the hidden long-term effects of trauma, including how it impacts longevity and can even be passed down genetically, and why the cycle of intergenerational trauma can stop with you. He shares his personal story, the critical difference between grief and trauma, and why letting go of guilt and shame is essential for true healing. We explore why mental health stigma still exists despite everyone talking about it, why it's so emotionally difficult to examine your own mind, and why you can't separate mental and physical health, no matter how much we try. We also discuss: - Hidden root behind multiple symptoms you didn't know were connected - Why more information won't help unless you can actually apply it - Surprising reason relief from distress doesn't equal happiness - How your recurring thoughts may be shaping your entire life - Why giving back can make you feel whole in ways nothing else can Plus, we tackle some of the most controversial topics in modern mental health: - When medication should (and shouldn't) be used - Dangers of turning to AI for therapy - Why elevating science to the level of “truth” can actually limit human growth Most importantly, Dr. Conti introduces a powerful, practical framework: using compassionate curiosity to re-examine your life story - so you can begin healing, even without professional therapy. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're missing something important about your own mind, this conversation might change how you see yourself forever!

He was dead for 90 minutes. What he saw will shatter everything you think you know! Doctors say this should have been impossible. Vincent “Vinney” Tolman wasn't just clinically dead - he was gone for somewhere between 45 minutes and an hour and a half, with no brain activity and no chance of returning without severe damage. Yet somehow, he came back - fully conscious, forever changed, and carrying a story that has left even medical professionals stunned. What happened during that time? According to Vinney, everything we think we know about life, death, and reality is only the beginning. After an accidental overdose in a restaurant bathroom, Vinney crossed over - and what he experienced on “the other side” goes far beyond a typical near death experience. He describes leaving his body and entering a state where he could hear the thoughts and feel the emotions of others, moving through a realm where time doesn't exist the way we understand it, and encountering a level of unconditional love so overwhelming it defies human language. In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, he shares the moment he met his spirit guide, learned how to raise his energetic frequency to travel, and underwent a profound life review, reliving not just his own actions, but feeling every ounce of pain and joy he had ever caused others. After being resuscitated and placed in a coma for 3 days, Vinney returned with 10 specific messages he says were given to him from “the other side”, including insights into: - Why we're really here on Earth - Hidden purpose behind suffering, conflict, & evil - Why free will is essential to existence - Truth about authenticity, love, & judgment - How tech & other negative influences shape our spiritual path - Why our value has nothing to do with what others think He also reveals why he believes Earth has existed far longer than we've been told, how it moves through energetic cycles, and why children seem more spiritually connected. But coming back wasn't peaceful. Vinney opens up about the dark psychological aftermath of returning to his body: waking up in a hospital, desperately wanting to go back "home", seeing what he believed were departed souls, and nearly losing himself trying to process it all. From being prescribed antipsychotics to a supernatural turning point that pushed him toward spiritual understanding instead, his journey didn't end when he came back - it only got more intense. Now, he shares how he connects with his spirit guide, the premonitions and guidance he receives, what he believes “Earth angels” really are, and how anyone can begin connecting with their own spiritual guidance. He even links his NDE to childhood trauma, explaining how dissociation may relate to the ability to leave the body and what that means for human consciousness. Vinney believes we are currently in a global “shedding phase”, and his mission is clear: to awaken as many people as possible. This isn't just a story about death. It's a story about why you're here…and what you're meant to remember.

You won't believe the transformation behind this story.

In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, the resilience expert and bestselling author of How to Be Free: A Proven Guide to Escaping Life's Hidden Prisons shares the raw, unfiltered truth about the darkest moments of his life, and the mindset that helped him rebuild everything. What began in violence, addiction, and trauma ultimately led Shaka to become a global thought leader who now inspires executives, entrepreneurs, elite athletes, and audiences around the world. And the turning point? It happened inside a prison cell. Shaka Senghor breaks down: - Growing up in chaos & running away from home as a teenager - How drug culture & crack cocaine addiction nearly destroyed his life - The traumatic experience of being shot, and later discovering who pulled the trigger - PTSD & emotional trauma that followed - The night that changed everything: the murder that sent him to prison for up to 40 years - Support he wishes he had before prison - The desperate moment he tried to escape prison - The heartbreaking 4.5 years he spent in solitary confinement and other tragedies & injustices he witnessed behind bars - How literacy and journaling kept him sane - Wrestling with anger toward God & finding connection to a higher power through nature - How mentorship from older incarcerated men changed the trajectory of his life He also reveals the powerful mindset shift that transformed his life, including how he used the Law of Attraction to eventually get out of solitary confinement. One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is Shaka's process of healing: - Learning to track the sources of physical & emotional trauma - Identifying emotional triggers - Releasing shame for things he wasn't responsible for - Understanding how anger often grows from suppressed shame - Concept of “weaponizing the past” and how he learned to reconcile anger for what he did, and what was done to him We're also diving deep into forgiveness in ways you've likely never heard before. Shaka shares what it meant when the godmother of the man he killed forgave him, the life-changing moment when the person who shot him apologized, how that apology helped him forgive his mother for years of abuse, and why forgiveness isn't weakness, but liberation. After finally being approved for parole, Shaka created a plan to rebuild his life from the ground up. That plan eventually led him to become a successful author and speaker, advocate for prison reform, and even develop a close friendship with Oprah Winfrey. Shaka also talks about the surreal experience of reentering society, including the technological shock of cell phones and computers, his lasting PTSD symptoms from prison, the impact incarceration has on families and loved ones (not just the inmate), and his advice for supporting someone returning home from prison. Even if you've never experienced incarceration, Shaka's story is more universal than you might think. He explains: - Why uncertainty is one of the hardest emotions humans face - How many of us live inside “hidden prisons” of fear, shame, & trauma - Why vulnerability, forgiveness, & resilience are the keys to breaking free - Why every human being deserves hope, love, joy, & success...no matter their past Shaka's mission is simple: Help people reclaim agency over what ails them and realize that freedom starts within.

What really happens inside the world's most dangerous underground economies? And why do the people running them trust a journalist enough to talk? Mariana van Zeller — Emmy- and Peabody Award–winning investigative journalist, host and executive producer of Trafficked on National Geographic, and host of The Hidden Third podcast — has spent years embedded with scammers, smugglers, cartel members, assassins, and black-market power brokers. In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, she pulls back the curtain on the shadow systems that quietly shape the global economy. Mariana breaks down the difference between the black market vs. the grey market, why understanding these hidden economies is the only way to create real change, and how she manages to gain access to some of the most secretive and dangerous players in the world. She explains how empathy, not judgment, is often the key to getting people labeled “the worst of the worst” to open up, and why many of them speak with her because of something surprisingly simple: a deep human need to be heard and understood. She also addresses critics who say she shouldn't give criminals a platform, revealing why listening to these voices is essential to exposing the systems behind global crime. We dive into her most harrowing experiences in the field — including the terrifying moment she and her team weren't sure they would make it out alive, and the time they had to escape a country in the middle of a life-threatening military coup while filming. Mariana also unpacks the current climate in Mexico's drug war, explaining why violence often escalates when major cartel kingpins are taken down, and the troubling implications of the fact that many of the weapons used by cartels originate in the United States. We get into one of the fastest-growing criminal industries in the world: scams. She breaks down everything you've ever wanted to know about romance scams and “pig butchering” operations, including: - Psychological tactics scammers use - Who scammers typically target and why - Massive infrastructure behind modern scam compounds - Why many scammers are actually victims of forced labor themselves - Why victims often stay silent due to shame and stigma Mariana explains why advancing technology, crypto, and AI are making financial scams easier than ever, and why anyone can fall victim — no matter how smart or cautious they are, including the shocking case of a bank CEO who was successfully defrauded. We also explore medical black markets, from organ trafficking to international surrogacy scams, and discuss some of her most intense interviews, from conversations with a suspected Russian sex spy to Anna Delvey, the infamous socialite scammer. Despite spending her career face-to-face with some of the darkest corners of humanity, Mariana reveals something surprising: she still believes deeply in people. In fact, she sometimes finds more hope, honesty, and equality in underground markets than in global governments or legal capitalism. This conversation will change how you think about crime, power, empathy, and the hidden systems shaping our world!

SHOCKING REVELATIONS: NASA Scientist Breaks Silence on Nonhuman Intelligence, UAPs, and the Evidence They Don't Want You to See What if the truth about nonhuman intelligence is already here on Earth - hidden in our oceans, interfering with our technology, and operating beyond the laws of physics we thought were unbreakable? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Kevin Knuth (former NASA research scientist & Professor of Physics at the University at Albany) reveals jaw-dropping, real-world evidence that will completely change how you think about UAPs, aliens, and reality itself. Dr. Knuth breaks down: - Nonhuman Intelligence Already Living on Earth? Why advanced UAP capabilities suggest they may have underwater bases and a vested interest in our planet - Nuclear Missiles SHUT DOWN by Unknown Craft: Verified incidents that stunned military officials - UAPs That DEFY Physics: Instant acceleration, silent movement, & impossible flight characteristics explained - Burned Humans, Scorched Trees & Disabled Cars: Close encounters with real physical effects - Abduction accounts that will disturb you, Including cases where humans reportedly interacted with extraterrestrial beings…and even held alien infants - “Angel Hair” Phenomenon: Strange material falling from the sky witnessed by thousands and analyzed by scientists - UAP Crash Debris Analysis: What researchers are uncovering from mysterious recovered materials - 3I Atlas Mystery: New observations & anomalies that strongly suggest it's NOT a comet - The Water World Hypothesis: Why oceans may be the perfect hiding place for advanced nonhuman intelligence (and the growing number of sightings of objects entering and exiting the water!) - Why many scientists are afraid to speak publicly about UAPs - The lack of “smoking gun” evidence, and why that might be misleading - Patterns across thousands of sightings that suggest something real is happening - Beyond UAPs: Consciousness & the Unknown -Telepathy, remote viewing, and why accuracy drops the harder you try - Savant abilities that continue to defy scientific explanation - Dr. Knuth's own paranormal & precognitive experiences - How being near cattle mutilation cases first led Dr. Knuth to question everything—and begin his search for answers - Signs to look for if nonhuman intelligence exists within just one light-day of Earth This isn't science fiction. These are real accounts, real data, and real questions that challenge everything we think we know about our place in the universe!

This week we are re-releasing a Substack Live from our Breaker community! Mayim and Jonathan are joined by Nicole Sachs, LCSW, a renowned psychotherapist, author, and speaker who has become an internationally recognized pioneer in the field of mind-body medicine. As the architect of the “JournalSpeak” method and host of The Cure for Chronic Pain podcast, Sachs has dedicated her career to treating patients suffering from chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, and fatigue by addressing the underlying emotional components of physical symptoms. Nicole explains that our brains often use physical pain as a “protective” distraction to keep us from feeling overwhelming emotions like rage, shame, or grief. Think of it like an emotional reservoir—when it gets too full, the pressure has to go somewhere, and often, it manifests as a backache, a migraine, or digestive issues. Nicole's story is as relatable as it is miraculous. After a year of being so locked up in pain that she couldn't even put her toddlers in their car seats, she had a spiritual and psychological breakthrough. By getting brutally honest with herself through a specific type of journaling, her chronic back pain was 80% gone by the next morning. Nicole breaks down her healing method into three simple parts that anyone can start today: - Knowledge: Understanding that your brain and body are constantly communicating. - The Work (Journal Speak): A specific, 20-minute daily practice of “unbridled rants” to get the hidden stress out of your system. - Self-Compassion: Learning to change the way you talk to yourself to help your nervous system feel safe. This approach has helped people struggling with fibromyalgia, IBS, migraines, anxiety, PTSD and addiction. As Nicole puts it, pain isn't a “broken” part of you—it's information. Once you learn how to listen to what your body is trying to say, the possibilities for your life are endless.

In honor of Autism Month, we're revisiting one of our popular episodes from 2024 with former Playboy Playmate, Holly Madison. She reveals SHOCKING truths about her life in the Playboy Mansion....from her relationship with Hugh Hefner (who was 54 years her senior) to LOVE BOMBING, the dark side of STOCKHOLM SYNDROME, and BREAKING FREE and discovering herself. Holly (bestselling author, podcaster, THE PLAYBOY MURDERS host & EP) opens up about how being diagnosed with autism recently affected her entire outlook on life and shares important signs that you might be in a manipulative relationship. She discusses everything you've ever wondered about Playboy life, including: - What enticed her about the Playboy mansion experience, how she came to live there, and how she became Hugh Hefner's “Main girlfriend” - Why she thinks she was an easy target for Hefner - Tactics Hefner employed to keep women from leaving the mansion - How she numbed herself through substance use to get through day-to-day life - How interpersonal dynamics & intense sense of competition within the playboy mansion contributed to her body dysmorphia - HEALING & EMPOWERMENT: What was Hefner really like behind closed doors? And how did she FINALLY break free from his grip? - What led her to break her silence on the trauma she suffered during her time at the mansion We're unpacking her fascinating autism diagnosis, from the benefits of finally being diagnosed and how it negatively influenced her decision-making process, to how it informed her parenting style. Holly breaks down: - The real cost of giving up yourself in a harmful relationship - Why people stay in harmful relationships, from fear of judgment to lack of financial stability - Finding spirituality in storytelling & the places she lets her intuition guide her - Her new mission as a free speech advocate! - What she does to maintain positive mental health, including her superstitious vision board process Mayim and Holly also bond over their love of true crime as Holly explains “The Playboy Curse”!

What if everything you've been told about Spirit is only half the truth? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Suzanne Giesemann—evidential medium, spiritual teacher, and author of Always Connected: How to Find Comfort, Clarity, and Direction from the Spirit Within—returns to reveal what really happens when you try to connect with Spirit, and why so many people are getting it wrong. After facing her own recent health challenges, Suzanne shares how Spirit taught her to flow with life's ups and downs, and why your connection can feel completely blocked when you're overwhelmed, stressed, or dealing with physical and emotional struggles. But here's the twist: you don't have to be fully healed to connect. If you've ever wondered… - Can psychics win the lottery? - Can they really find missing people? Suzanne answers both—and shares a remarkable real-life story of working on a missing person's case, including the astonishing details she received from Spirit. Suzanne also breaks down: - Why your focus narrows during hard times, and how that disconnects you from Spirit - Simple, practical ways to strengthen your intuition in just 1–3 minutes a day - How she clearly distinguishes between messages from spirit guides, angels, deceased loved ones, & her own intuition - What spirit guides actually are, and how they “match your frequency” to influence your life - Top 5 misconceptions about connecting with Spirit (including what it can't do for you) She also dives into the deeper truths most people aren't ready to hear… - Why spirit guides won't protect you from every challenge - Why humanity is still in its “adolescent” stage of evolution - How nervous system disregulation can completely block your spiritual connection - Why questioning your challenges might be the key to your growth - How psychics connect to deceased loved ones through energetic resonance - Why readings often come through as feelings, symbols, and imagery - What truly happens to “evil” people after they die - Why “Hell isn't a place, but a state of consciousness” - How love dissolves internal barriers & accelerates healing - Powerful question to ask a higher power: “What do I need to know that I don't know?” - Top 5 signs you're being guided by Spirit right now If you've ever felt disconnected, confused, or skeptical about spirituality, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and open a door you didn't even know was there.

We're sharing something special that was previously only for the breaker community on our Substack page: a chat Jonathan and I did with our special Substack community about what happens when we stop defining ourselves by what we do and start looking at who we actually are. We explore the profound connection between our unique souls, our internal states, and our physical health. Building on our recent conversation with Simon Sinek (world-renowned author of Start with Why and The Infinite Game), we discuss how to find your purpose by reconnecting to your “soul traits”—those inherent qualities you've carried since childhood. Mayim breaks down the neurophysiology of optimism, explaining how the state of our nervous system acts as the ultimate gatekeeper for our capacity to heal. In a world that often feels increasingly cynical and designed to polarize, maintaining a state of openness is a biological necessity. Jonathan explores how to find our unique purpose, highlighting how we often box ourselves into perceived limits that leave us feeling constrained and disconnected from our potential. To get more on rewriting these narratives, check out the recent Live with Mayim on Jonathan's Practical Spirituality page. Drawing on the wisdom of Michael Singer (The Untethered Soul), we also discuss the importance of “not fighting the universe”—dropping the internal resistance to what is happening so we can trigger biological responses that facilitate healing, even on a global scale. “Optimism is believing that even in a dark tunnel, there's light at the end.” It is about holding space for the belief that peace and reconciliation are possible, regardless of current suffering. This Live also covers: - The “Junk Room” Metaphor: How to identify the mental clutter and limiting stories that keep you feeling disconnected from your true potential. - Biology vs. Belief: How to clear the “energetic residue” of stress to allow your body to move from survival mode into recovery. - Finding Beauty in the Mundane: The power in finding the awe and wonder hidden in your daily routine.

THIS EPISODE WILL CHANGE HOW YOU SEE REALITY What if EVERYTHING you've been told about consciousness, reality, and even world events…is only a fraction of the truth? Lee Harris — globally recognized spiritual teacher, intuitive, and best-selling author — is BACK in the studio, and this time he graciously introduces his mysterious guides “The Z's”, a collective consciousness that may even originate from his own higher future self. The Z's claim humanity has been in a “quarantine” of limited consciousness, and we are NOW emerging from it. Why? Because: Humanity is more ready than ever to hear this message. Consciousness is rapidly expanding. And something BIG is unfolding on Earth right now… In a LIVE channeling session, The Z's reveal: - Why THIS moment in history is urgent - How multiple timelines may be converging on Earth - Why war is NOT natural (& what's actually driving global conflict) - Shocking claim that WWIII has nearly happened multiple times already & why fear might be making it MORE likely - Hidden forces influencing global systems - Why labeling things “conspiracy theories” can keep people asleep - Deeper meaning behind the Epstein saga surfacing now - How COVID may have been a turning point in who we trust - Why mainstream media thrives on fear, not love - We may already be interacting with extraterrestrial intelligence - Some of our current technology may NOT be fully human-made - Earth itself could be part of a much larger galactic experiment But this isn't just about big ideas — it's about YOU. With Lee himself, we explore: - How he first began channeling - Do we all have guides tapping into a shared field of consciousness? - Difference between spirit guides vs angels - What it physically feels like to channel (& how Lee comes back to reality after) - What it's like living between the human world and the spirit realm - How to tell the difference between intuition vs fear - Why spirituality might NOT work for everyone - True role of a channeler (and why he doesn't rely on it for everything) - How to stay grounded during “energetic chaos” - Practical ways to grow, speak your truth, & resist division The takeaway? Even as systems feel like they're collapsing… Even as uncertainty rises… There is HOPE. Because: Human consciousness is rising faster than ever. Dark forces are more exposed than ever. And the next 5 years could bring an unprecedented shift in who we are. If you've ever questioned reality… If you feel like something bigger is happening… Or if you're trying to stay balanced in a chaotic world… You NEED to hear this. Machine Washable Rugs, Made Better.

With Lee himself, we explore: - How he first began channeling - Do we all have guides tapping into a shared field of consciousness? - Difference between spirit guides vs angels - What it physically feels like to channel (& how Lee comes back to reality after) - What it's like living between the human world and the spirit realm - How to tell the difference between intuition vs fear - Why spirituality might NOT work for everyone - True role of a channeler (and why he doesn't rely on it for everything) - How to stay grounded during “energetic chaos” - Practical ways to grow, speak your truth, & resist division The takeaway? Even as systems feel like they're collapsing… Even as uncertainty rises… There is HOPE. Because: Human consciousness is rising faster than ever. Dark forces are more exposed than ever. And the next 5 years could bring an unprecedented shift in who we are.

THIS EPISODE WILL CHANGE HOW YOU SEE REALITY What if EVERYTHING you've been told about consciousness, reality, and even world events…is only a fraction of the truth? Lee Harris — globally recognized spiritual teacher, intuitive, and best-selling author — is BACK in the studio, and this time he graciously introduces his mysterious guides “The Z's”, a collective consciousness that may even originate from his own higher future self. The Z's claim humanity has been in a “quarantine” of limited consciousness, and we are NOW emerging from it. Why? Because: Humanity is more ready than ever to hear this message. Consciousness is rapidly expanding. And something BIG is unfolding on Earth right now… In a LIVE channeling session, The Z's reveal: - Why THIS moment in history is urgent - How multiple timelines may be converging on Earth - Why war is NOT natural (& what's actually driving global conflict) - Shocking claim that WWIII has nearly happened multiple times already & why fear might be making it MORE likely - Hidden forces influencing global systems - Why labeling things “conspiracy theories” can keep people asleep - Deeper meaning behind the Epstein saga surfacing now - How COVID may have been a turning point in who we trust - Why mainstream media thrives on fear, not love - We may already be interacting with extraterrestrial intelligence - Some of our current technology may NOT be fully human-made - Earth itself could be part of a much larger galactic experiment But this isn't just about big ideas — it's about YOU.
