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!

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. TUNE IN to MBB today to learn why neurodivergent people can feel more overwhelmed by external stimuli, how complex life experiences shape neurodivergent identities, why everyone’s talking about being ‘Neurospicy’, and how it’s changing the way society sees neurodiversity!

A single shift in your morning routine could change your energy, your mood, and even how you age!! And…your sex drive will improve too! Are you struggling with menopausal weight gain, endless food cravings, or feeling like your body just isn’t working the way it used to? You’re not alone. In this groundbreaking episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Mindy Pelz — leading expert in women’s health, hormone science, and fasting, and author of Age Like a Girl — exposes the truth about why women age differently, what’s really behind weight gain during menopause, and how to train your fat-burning metabolism to finally work with you, not against you. She reveals why everyone should care about women and how they age (it affects more than just women’s health!), the real causes of menopausal weight gain and how it differs from regular weight gain (and yes, it’s fixable!), how to train your metabolic system to burn fat efficiently (even after 40!), the mental health and chronic disease benefits of fasting, (especially for women in menopause), and the dangers of the “Make America Healthy Again” movement (what they’re getting wrong about your health!). Dr. Mindy Pelz also breaks down: - Fasting 101: When to fast, for how long, & how to break your fast safely - The truth about detoxing: Common toxin buildups & how to activate your natural detox pathways - Proven solutions to reverse menopausal weight gain naturally - The surprising reason older men also gain weight - How much protein & fiber you really need - Why fasting is not starving, and how to do it safely for your body type - The shocking origins of the “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” myth - Who should and shouldn’t fast, and why it isn't isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach - How processed foods are destroying your hormones (and why they’re even worse for women) - The real reason men lose weight faster than women, and how to level the playing field - Why we’re living in the most toxic time in human history, and what you can do to protect yourself - How fasting can ease menopause symptoms like hot flashes & brain fog - Why endometriosis diagnoses are rising - 3 things everyone should add to their diet right now for longevity & energy - The powerful role women are designed for after menopause (your brain actually rewires itself during this time!) - The real truth about hormone replacement therapy (HRT): Who should consider it, its risks, and why it only works with key lifestyle changes - How to finally beat food cravings once and for all, without feeling deprived - Why most people are getting aging completely wrong...and how to truly age like a girl!

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?

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?

She Sees Angels...and Her Spiritual Awakening Showed Her What’s Coming for Humanity Lorna Byrne has seen angels with her physical eyes since childhood — and in this jaw-dropping episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, the world-renowned spiritual teacher and #1 international bestselling author of Angels in My Hair reveals everything they’ve shown her about our past, present, and extraordinary future. From speaking to departed souls and her own angelic guides, including her late husband and baby brother, to her face-to-face encounter with Satan, Lorna shares deeply personal and powerful visions that will change the way you see the world.

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!

Could Mushrooms Save the World? Join the world’s most renowned mycologist Paul Stamets—author of Psilocybin Mushrooms in Their Natural Habitats—as he dives deep into the astonishing power of fungi, mycelium, and psychedelic mushrooms to transform not just our health, but our consciousness, society, and planet. In this mind-expanding episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Stamets reveals: - How psilocybin therapy is helping people overcome trauma, anxiety, and even the fear of death - How a heroic dose of mushrooms changed his life, helped cure his stutter, and opened his spiritual awareness - Powerful anatomy of fungi vs. mycelium vs. mushrooms, and how they mirror the structure of the universe - Why mycelium networks prove the health benefits of random acts of kindness - Humans are descendants of mycelium (and what that means for our evolution!) - Crucial role mushrooms play in biodiversity, ecosystem survival, and as the "lungs of the planet" - Difference between microdosing vs. macrodosing, and the creative, emotional, and neurological benefits of each - Why a "Mycelium Revolution" is sweeping the planet, and how it could unite humanity - Why Stamets believes psilocybin may be the key to curing our global creativity crisis - Sacred cultural history of mushrooms, and why honoring Indigenous wisdom is vital to our future - How mushrooms could help us clean pollution, build sustainable materials, revolutionize agriculture, and even colonize space So why isn’t psilocybin therapy more accessible? Why are thousands of mushroom species psychedelic? And how can fungi rewire society for healing, empathy, and planetary survival?

great episode overall but I don't think a non-empath can ever become an empath & vice versa, especially when it comes to emotional empathy. either you are one or you aren't. and I wish to God I wasn't. It hasn't done anything good for me, only constant and overwhelming suffering & pain while being labeled "weak". All the people around me who at least act like psychopaths switching their emotions for others off on command are much more successful and seem to be having much more comfortable lives.

I love the back and forth about frequency and vibration at the end. I think you might be looking for coherence. Taking the static out so the coherence is clear. Please consider having Eileen Day McKusick as a guest. She is a pioneer in sound/frequency healing using tuning forks. I think this would be a fantastic time!

The bible talks about not listening to everything that comes to mind. that God does not tempt anyone. if it's not God, then who is it? the lies based on real events is what's hard to not feed into.

Eliminating someone's immigration pass when that person used their education visa to spearhead material support for hamas terrorists and also used their platform to rally a violent mob into harrassing and traumatizing Jewish students isn't the same thing as deporting someone for free speech. I'm all for free speech but we have to stop defending the leader of a hateful racist mob just because trump is the one kicking him out.
