What happens when one of the greatest minds in modern technology has a spiritual awakening that shatters everything he thought he knew about reality? In this exclusive interview on Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Federico Faggin — legendary physicist-turned-inventor, creator of Silicon Gate Technology, father of the first commercial microprocessor at Intel, and early pioneer of AI — opens up like never before about the transformational experience that changed the entire direction of his life. Faggin reveals the moment a beam of pure love, peace, and joy radiated through him, showing him that consciousness—not matter—is the true foundation of reality. This awakening didn't just shift his worldview…it reshaped his life's work, his understanding of physics, and his mission to bridge science and spirituality. Federico Faggin breaks down: - How his spiritual awakening rewired his life & work - Why Consciousness & Free Will actually explain Quantum Physics (and not the other way around) - The 3 levels of reality, and why our spiritual reality is inseparable from the material one - Why humanity faces destructive consequences (like environmental collapse) when we're out of alignment with true reality - How gravity itself is “proof of love” at the deepest level - How ego overidentification blinds us to the true nature of existence - Why the boundary between science & spirituality has already dissolved - How the next evolution of medicine will awaken a deeper understanding of oneness, consciousness, and free will - Why your personal happiness is ultimately up to you and no one else - His insights on the Afterlife, Collective Consciousness, and whether we're living in a Simulation PLUS...Federico shares a special sneak peek at his groundbreaking new book! If you've ever wondered what consciousness really is, whether science can explain spirituality, or what happens after we die, this conversation will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about reality.

Are you really in control of your life, or are you being unconsciously driven by old stories, buried trauma, and misleading intuition? In this powerful episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Sue Morter—renowned international speaker, Bio-Energetic Medicine pioneer, and author of The Anatomy of Awakening—reveals how to finally break free from the narrative running your life and step into the highest version of yourself. Dr. Sue explains why anchoring into your present body is the key to escaping fear loops, anxiety, paranoia, nervousness, and survival-mode thinking...and how to transform that stuck energy into creativity, passion, movement, purpose, and unstoppable tenacity. She shares practical, real-world tools to shift your internal state, elevate your frequency, and choose a worldview where the universe is actually working for you, not against you. You'll learn how to tell when your intuition is misleading you—triggering false “unsafe” signals that hold you back from the next stage of life—and how to distinguish true guidance from subconscious fear. Dr. Sue breaks down the hidden implications of being driven by the trauma stored in your subconscious, and how to rewrite these old memories to unlock your next chapter. She reveals why “safety” shouldn't be your primary goal, and how energy vibration changes the moment your mind, body, and breath unite into wholeness. You'll also discover how meditation reconnects you to the soul, plus an accessible breakdown of chakras, levels of consciousness, and the vibrational frequency of love—along with the specific energy centers that determine your life path and soul purpose. Dr. Sue even opens up about her own radical spiritual awakening - triggered by transcendental meditations she began to heal her chronic migraines. (Her experiences lifted her into a realm above the earth, where she realized we are all made of pure light!) We dive deep into the physical manifestations of buried trauma, the truth about your multidimensional nature, and how anyone can use remote healing to send and receive transformative energy across space and time. At the heart of it all? Love—the ultimate vibrational mechanism that gives you access to higher consciousness! If you're ready to shift your entire energy system, expand your awareness, and rewrite the story of your life, this is the episode of MBB you don't want to miss.

This week to celebrate Thanksgiving, we are revisiting our episode with the one and only Matthew McConaughey (Dazed and Confused, Dallas Buyers Club)! Matthew helps us break down the science behind feeling and expressing gratitude, something especially important to focus on this time of year. He also takes us on an electrifying journey through his intriguing life, from his intense childhood in which his parents divorced and remarried each other three times, to surviving off a head of lettuce with ketchup in Australia, to his current ambitions considering a run for political office. Matthew details his life-changing quests sparked by having the same wet dream twice and how he puts himself in positions to receive divine, prophetic messages from the universe. He explains why his dad was proud of him for getting into a bar fight, why he cries during births and not deaths, and why his son creates Powerpoint presentations to illustrate why Matthew is wrong. Mayim and Matthew discuss parenthood, and Matthew opens up about the sense of immortality he felt at the birth of his first child. Mayim also breaks down binding anxiety! From the entire Mayim Bialik's Breakdown team, we want to wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Are Your Memories Lying to You? Neuroscientist Dr. Nikolay Kukushkin—NYU clinical associate professor, research fellow, and author of One Hand Clapping—joins Mayim Bialik's Breakdown to BREAK OPEN everything we thought we knew about memory, consciousness, evolution, and the future of humanity. Dr. Kukushkin might be the first to scientifically prove that “the body keeps the score," and he's here to share his groundbreaking research revealing that every cell in the body may have the potential to store memory. What this means for trauma, healing, and everyday life will blow your mind! We explore how human memory evolved, why we remember the way we do, and the hidden purpose memory plays in meaning-making, identity, and human experience. You'll learn how memory is stored, changed, and distorted, why memory is NOT reality, what makes the human experience truly special, and what sea slugs can teach us about being human. We also discuss whether it's more accurate (or useful) to view reality through a materialist vs spiritual lens, how natural selection is far more creative and intelligent than we ever imagined, and whether Artificial Intelligence is humanity's evolutionary path. Dr. Kukushkin reveals what we've been getting wrong about dopamine: its real evolutionary purpose, how to harness this new science to boost motivation, productivity, and well-being, and why social media “dopamine hits” are so addictive - and so damaging. Dr. Kukushkin also breaks down: - Overlooked implications of being a carbon-based species - Sinister effects of sleep deprivation - Can the human brain ever reach its memory capacity? - What happens when we're downloading too much information from our environment - What happens when we outsource our language abilities to technology? - What are the consequences of forming human-like emotional connections with chatbots? - Is there hope that we will return to using our brain's full cognitive power? PLUS...the spiritual experiences technology can never replicate, and why real life will always give us what machines can't! If you care about human potential, the future of consciousness, or understanding the truth about your own mind, this is the episode of MBB you CANNOT miss.

Are You Really Neurodivergent — or Just Relating to the Traits? In this mind-opening episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Mayim and Jonathan dive deep into the fascinating, complicated, and sometimes confusing world of neurodivergence — from self-diagnosis pitfalls to the superpowers hiding inside neurodivergent brains. Discover what's actually happening physically in neurodivergent brains, and explore the wide range of traits and disorders that fall under the neurodivergent umbrella — from ADHD, autism, and dyslexia to sensory sensitivities and beyond. Mayim and Jonathan unpack the potential superpowers that come with neurodivergence, including empathy, intuition, creativity, pattern recognition, and even enhanced extrasensory perception. Are neurodivergent minds wired for deeper insight? Why has neurodivergence become such a massive topic on social media? Is there really a rise in neurodivergent diagnoses, or just a rise in awareness? We're exploring the difference between validation and pathologizing, the challenges of navigating such a broad spectrum, and the surprising benefits of having a label. They also break down the exhausting nature of masking, share practical tips to combat social anxiety, and explore how to best support neurodivergent young minds in a world built for neurotypicals. From overlapping symptoms to proper diagnosis, treatment options, and environments best suited to manage sensory overwhelm, this episode is packed with insight, empathy, and real-world strategies. PLUS...Mayim and Jonathan take a neurodivergence self-assessment live, Mayim shares her personal coping tips for living with neurodivergence, and Jonathan opens up about how he manages his dyslexia with creativity and humor.

We Almost Ended Our Friendship Over THIS?! | Exclusive Episode (Previously Substack-Only!) You won't believe how close Mayim and Jonathan came to never speaking again - and all because of something ridiculously simple. In this exclusive episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown (once only available to our Substack community), they open up about the hilarious moment that nearly ended years of friendship, collaboration, and love…and what it taught them about checking the “simple fixes” before assuming the universe is against you. Mayim and Jonathan also explore the line between mediums and channelers, the role of creativity in expanding consciousness, and how spiritual practices can calm the body and open the mind, diving into insights from our hit episode with Lee Harris (channeler of “The Z's”) where we unpack the tension between skepticism and open-mindedness and how altered states might help us perceive more of our reality. They also break down: - Do mediums and channelers access more of their brain…or the entire consciousness system? - How creativity (and even trauma) can open the doorway to altered states - Why spiritual practices ground us when life feels chaotic - How to reimagine your life when your current path stops working (whether that means changing cities, careers, or your whole perspective) If you love exploring how metaphysics meets real life, or just need a reminder that the universe might be on your side, this one's for you.

What if secret societies have been controlling the world from the shadows since the dawn of civilization? In this explosive interview of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Richard B. Spence — Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Idaho, expert on espionage, secret societies, and occultism, and co-host of the hit podcast Strange As It Seems — pulls back the curtain on the hidden organizations that may have shaped history, politics, and even the founding of the United States itself. Dr. Spence breaks down the benefits of being in a secret society (and why you should care, even if you'd never join one), whether ancient secret orders have influenced the rise and fall of empires, how modern politics is subtly manipulated by groups we don't even realize exist, and the psychological and mystical appeal that keeps these societies alive. He discusses whether secret societies help dangerous leaders rise to power, including shocking theories around Hitler's rise, the true definition of "the occult", why many secret orders are accused of Satan worship or dark rituals, the most active and influential secret societies today, and how new ones are forming online in the digital age. Dr. Richard B. Spence also reveals: - Surprising parallels between ancient orders and modern Greek life (fraternities and sororities) - Origins and influence of the Freemasons: were the Founding Fathers truly Freemasons, and what ideals did they embed into this country's DNA? - How secret societies evolve, and why some are actually designed as self-improvement programs - Why these organizations can become “petri dishes for nefarious actions”, sparking revolutions and even government overthrows - Why these groups have historically been male-dominated, and the surprising stories of female and even child secret societies - How intelligence agencies may manufacture conspiracy theories as tools of psychological warfare - Difference between misinformation vs. disinformation, and how each is weaponized - Are modern day government agencies like the CIA really just secret societies with better branding? - Fine line between secret societies, cults, and religions, and how they manipulate loyalty and belief - Why it's harder than ever to tell truth from deception, especially in the age of AI-generated misinformation - And finally…could the MAGA movement itself be considered a modern-day cult? This deep dive will make you question everything you thought you knew about power, control, and truth.

Vicky Bond has done lots of impressive stuff in her career – she started working as a vet and later ended up running a 100+ person organisation, The Humane League (THL), which many of you might be familiar with as one of the key organisations campaigning to get chickens out of cages. She is now the CEO of Madre Brava, an international climate campaigning group focused on food. Given Vicky's extensive leadership and management experience, managing teams ranging from 5 to over 110, I wanted to pick her brains about leadership and management in the animal advocacy movement. I would highly recommend it for people who are leading teams of any size or want to learn more about how to do it well!Podcast news:We now have a Substack where we'll soon be sharing summaries and key takeaways from all episodes!

What if space and time aren't real, and consciousness is the true fabric of the universe? In this mind-expanding conversation of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Donald Hoffman, pioneering cognitive scientist and author of The Case Against Reality, breaks down the revolution currently shaking science to its core. Could everything we experience — even space and time — be just part of a virtual interface our minds use to survive? Dr. Hoffman explains why consciousness (not matter) might be fundamental, what could exist beyond space-time, and why merging science and spirituality may be the only way to solve the Hard Problem of Consciousness. He also breaks down why: - Reality may just be what we perceive through a VR headset - Thinking you are your body could be one of humanity's greatest dangers - AI will never truly be conscious - Consciousness doesn't arise from physical processes, but might create them - Darwin's Theory of Evolution may suggest our world isn't real at all - Technology could be clouding our ability to perceive God - Recognizing a higher consciousness naturally leads to compassion and love for others - Building a scientific framework for spirituality could allow science to finally confirm what mystics have always known - His mathematical model of consciousness may reveal a collective mind & even prove the existence of God - His theory of the observer could unlock real magic: time travel, instant knowledge downloads, limb regeneration, and more We may have discovered the first layer of the Simulation's software; once we understand it, can we manipulate it to create magic? But with this potential power comes danger — if we unlock reality's source code, what happens next? Dr. Hoffman believes that if science proves consciousness is fundamental, confirming spirituality itself, the impact on humanity will be unlike anything we've ever seen. If consciousness really is the code behind reality, this might be the most important conversation of our lifetime. Don't miss it!

Are Aliens Just an Extension of Our Consciousness? Are psychedelics the only way to tap into a higher state of consciousness? Dr. James B. Glattfelder on the Transcendental Multiverse, Psychedelics, and the Fight for Meaning What if communicating with aliens isn't “out there”, but deep within?

Glattfelder, complexity scientist, metaphysical idealist, former quant, and author, dives deep into the true nature of consciousness, the limits of traditional physics, and the emergence of meaning in our increasingly fractured world.

In this mind-expanding episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Bernardo Kastrup (Executive Director of the Essentia Foundation, CEO of AI company Euclyd B.V., and the leading voice behind the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism) explores the BIGGEST questions humans have ever asked, like: - What is the true nature of reality? - What happens when we die? - Is consciousness more fundamental than matter? - Does love actually matter? - Is suffering necessary, or just misunderstood? - Could reality be mental at its core, and not physical?

Aliens Incoming?! Harvard Scientist Dr. Avi Loeb reveals the astronomy behind why 3I/Atlas could cancel your Halloween plans… On October 29th, just two days before Halloween, a mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is set to make a highly unusual approach to our sun and it's raising MAJOR red flags! Could this be a disguised alien mothership on a secret surveillance mission to Earth? The trajectory coincidences are so bizarre, they defy all known statistics. In this explosive episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Avi Loeb (Harvard professor, astrophysicist, and bestselling author of Interstellar: The Search for Extraterrestrial Life and Our Future in the Stars) dives deep with Mayim & Jonathan into what 3I/ATLAS might really be…and how it ties into everything we thought we knew about life beyond Earth.

The Rising Risks of Cancel Culture & The Psychology & Language That Built It! In this explosive episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Steven Pinker (renowned Harvard psychologist and author of When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows) joins Mayim Bialik and Jonathan Cohen for a no-holds-barred conversation that quickly turns into a fiery debate on the limits of science, belief, and human consciousness. From the hidden mechanics of social dynamics and language to the perils of thought policing and cancel culture, Dr. Pinker dives deep into how shared knowledge shapes society, why what people think others believe can shift power, and how social media became a modern-day coliseum for public shaming. But the sparks really fly when Mayim and Jonathan challenge Pinker's staunchly materialist worldview — questioning whether extrasensory perception (ESP), near death experiences (NDEs), and higher consciousness might point to something beyond the reach of scientific instruments. Pinker doesn't hold back, offering his sharply skeptical takes on mystical claims and pushing back against spiritual notions with cool-headed logic. Dr. Pinker also breaks down: - Why what others think of us actually matters - Dangers of being too direct or too indirect — especially for neurodivergent folks - How to create or hide common knowledge in relationships - The first case of cancel culture on social media (and its ancient roots!) - The thin line between freedom of speech and incitement to violence - How distrust in science fuels conspiracy theories - Can we depoliticize science? Or is it already too late? - The danger of defunding academic research - Why authoritarian regimes fear open communication - The healthcare system: overprescription, profit motives, and how to fix it - Is free will real? Or are we just dancing to the tune of biology and environment? Don't miss MBB's first-ever toe-to-toe spiritual showdown between Mayim, Jonathan, and a die-hard materialist. Whether you lean scientific, spiritual, or somewhere in between, this conversation will challenge what you think you know about reality.

Can You REALLY Talk to the Dead? MIT Neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart Says Yes—And Brings the Science to Prove It What happens when one of the world's leading MIT neuroscientists, Dr. Tara Swart (Senior Lecturer at MIT Sloan and author of The Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe) loses her husband and begins receiving undeniable messages from the beyond? In this groundbreaking episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Tara Swart opens up about her journey from respected neuroscientist and leadership advisor to spiritual explorer after the sudden loss of her husband, Robin. Known globally for her work on neuroplasticity, brain science, and intuition, Dr. Swart reveals how grief led her to a profound awakening: vivid dreams, ancestral connections, angel numbers, and even a visitation she refuses to dismiss as hallucination. She blends her rigorous background in neuroscience with her lived experience, challenging us to rethink the boundaries between science and spirituality. Dr. Tara Swart breaks down: - Neuroscience of Intuition: How to train your brain to tune into instincts and signs - Near Death Experiences (NDEs) and why the brain may be filtering out reality - Grief and trauma in the body: Why talk therapy alone isn't enough - The surprising link between creativity, movement, and trauma healing - Why altered states of consciousness don't require drugs - The health benefits of ancestral healing and spiritual connection - Why beauty acts as a healing frequency for the brain - The thin line between mental illness and genius - Why she believes in angel numbers—and how they've shaped her decisions - Her most radical theory: Consciousness may not live in the brain at all This isn't just another conversation on neuroscience. Dr. Tara Swart pushes us to expand the limits of what it means to be human by merging brain science, spirituality, and the mysteries of consciousness into a powerful roadmap for life after loss, trauma, and fear.

Could Simulation Theory be the key to uniting science and spirituality once and for all? Dr. Rizwan Virk (MIT professor, video game pioneer, and bestselling author of The Simulation Hypothesis) joins Mayim Bialik's Breakdown to explore whether we're living inside a computer simulation and why this idea may be the most important breakthrough of our time. From bridging ancient spiritual wisdom with modern quantum physics, to explaining life's glitches, suffering, and precognitive dreams, Dr. Virk unpacks why simulation theory could radically change the way we see reality. In this mind-bending podcast episode, Mayim & Jonathan dive into: - Why Rizwan Virk believes simulation theory is more spiritual than you think - The surprising connections between quantum physics, religion, and near-death experiences - The Virtual Reality moment that convinced Virk the simulation might be real - “Glitches in the Matrix” and the Mandela Effect - Are precognitive dreams & near-death experiences proof of the simulation? - Could aliens or future humans be running the simulation? - What's beyond the simulation? Are we about to be unplugged? Whether you're spiritual, scientific, religious, or just simulation-curious, this is the rabbit hole you've been waiting for.

Cancer Put Her in a Coma. She Survived. Her Near Death Experience Changed Everything. Mayim Bialik's Breakdown delves into Anita Moorjani's (renowned author, TedX speaker & self-help spiritual speaker) mind-blowing near-death experience (NDE) story and how it completely transformed her cancer, her path to healing & spiritual awakening, and how it changed the way she viewed life after death. Before her miraculous cancer recovery, Anita opens up like never before about the emotional toll of escaping an arranged marriage, her belief that neglecting her own needs while caring for others may have contributed to her cancer, and why living out of alignment with your true self can be toxic (and even deadly). Her integration journey post-NDE wasn't easy. Friends and family treated her like the same person — but she had touched something far greater than this world, and she couldn't go back. Anita Moorjani also breaks down: - Her belief that heaven is not a place, but a state of being - How we're all eternally connected — past, present, and future - Why intuition, self-love, & authenticity are the real medicine we've all been missing - How you're likely manifesting wrong - How Ayurveda and naturopathic healing deeply resonated with her healing journey - Difference between unconditional love (the kind people experience during NDEs) and earthly love - Why deepening your intuition starts with radical self-confidence - How letting go of what isn't authentically you is the key to ultimate healing This is not just a story about cancer — it's a wake-up call about life, death, spiritual awakening and the power of living as your truest self. Tune in to MBB now if you've ever felt stuck, afraid, disconnected, or if you've ever wondered what really happens after we die.

Drawing on decades of guiding people through their final moments, she reveals the spiritual, biological, emotional, and psychological changes that occur when consciousness leaves the body—offering profound insights into life after death and the mysteries of the dying process. You'll hear jaw-dropping stories of deathbed visions, including dream shifts, visits from deceased loved ones, and shared death experiences where relatives actually feel what the dying person is experiencing.

Dr. Atkins also breaks down: - Why we're so afraid to talk about death—and how doing so makes us more human - How sensory perception shifts as people begin to let go, and the signs that death is near - The difference between a natural death and dying before your time—and what that means for the soul's journey - Could Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy help us process grief in healthier ways? - Why presence matters most in a loved one's final days - How our treatment of elders reflects our values as a society, and why end-of-life care matters deeply Plus, Mayim opens up about the raw, painful, yet beautiful experience of caregiving for her father in his final days.

We're using our 1988 episode to finally wrap up our Backs of Life series, in which we review every backdoor pilot episode of classic 80s sitcom The Facts of Life. And this final two-part backdoor pilot from April 1988 is actually the end of the whole show! (Farewell, Tootie...) We start with a fleeting glimpse of the regular cast (which by this point also includes Australian moppet Pippa), but soon we're solidly in backdoor pilot territory. Eastland, the girls' old school, is in danger of closing, so Blair buys the place, and welcomes boys to enroll as well as girls. Then we see a whole new crop of young Eastland students, including some future stars: Juliette Lewis, Mayim Bialik, and Seth Green! Did this backdoor pilot lead to another beloved long-running series? Of course not. But does it end with the girls meeting a giant chicken? Well, kids, sometimes the world really seems to be living up to our dreams. The Flopcast website! The ESO Network! The Flopcast on Facebook! The Flopcast on Instagram! The Flopcast on Bluesky!
