Mayim Bialik's Breakdown

What happens after we die? What if the afterlife is nothing like we’ve been told?

At just 21 years old, John J. Davis was clinically dead for 7 full minutes…and what he experienced during that time completely shattered everything he thought he knew about life, death, and the universe.

Unlike most near death experiences that begin with the famous tunnel of white light, John says his journey started beyond the light, in a realm that felt more real than Earth itself. Even though only minutes passed here, it felt like hours exploring the other side.

In this powerful episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, John describes in vivid detail what he experienced during his time beyond death, including:

- Meeting his spirit guide for the first time

- Entering an orientation center where souls are greeted by loved ones who have passed (including our beloved pets!)

- Why people appear to be in their 30s on the other side

- How the afterlife still includes joyful activities like beaches, music festivals, and creative pursuits

- Why souls choose meaningful work roles for fulfillment instead of paychecks

- How time operates completely differently beyond Earth

- His life review & the shocking moment he witnessed 3 of his past lives

- Why Earth may be the most difficult place a soul can choose to incarnate

- Truth about soulmates

- A mysterious “planetarium” that revealed countless forms of life across the universe

- A massive library of history where souls can literally watch past events unfold in study rooms

- Revelation that religion was created by man, not God, and that hell does not exist

- His breathtaking encounter in a meadow with the being he believes was Jesus...and the message he was told to bring back to humanity

But returning to Earth wasn’t easy.

After coming back to life and telling loved ones where he had been during those 7 minutes of death, John struggled deeply. He fell into depression, questioned everything, and even considered taking his own life as he tried to reconcile the beauty of the other side with life on Earth.

Eventually, he discovered a new purpose.

Today, John shares how his experience allows him to bring comfort and hope to people experiencing grief, especially parents who have lost children, and how his work in hospice care helps those who are nearing the end of life face death without fear.

We also explore:

- How he handled skepticism when he began sharing his story publicly

- How the experience completely transformed his approach to parenting

- How he integrates what he saw into everyday human life

- Whether he returned with any special abilities like many NDE experiencers report

- How hypnotherapy later confirmed his memories, revealing the same past lives he saw during his NDE

This is one of the most detailed and thought-provoking NDE accounts you’ll ever hear. It raises profound questions about the afterlife, the purpose of life on Earth, and what may be waiting for all of us beyond death.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when we die, this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew.

Today we’re sharing something special that was previously only available over on Jonathan’s Substack page, Practical Spirituality.

Are you seeing the world as it actually is, or are you just seeing the stories you’ve built to survive it?

Mayim joins Jonathan for a surprise guest appearance to explore what I believe is one of the most important topics to understand if you want to truly know yourself: the invisible architecture that shapes each of our realities.

We often move through the world under the impression that we are seeing things as they actually are and if other people understood what we saw, everything would make sense. But the truth is that we are all living inside a reality that is being filtered, interpreted, and created by us in real-time!

We tend to treat our thoughts as objective truths, but every thought you have isn’t a standalone fact; it is a single thread connected to a much larger, often unconscious story.

These stories aren’t just mental; they are deeply somatic. They live in our bodies as energetic imprints and reinforced neural pathways that dictate how we breathe, how we hold tension, and how we vibrate in a room. Mayim and Jonathan discuss how these physiological “grooves” make our stories feel so undeniably real that we don’t even think to question them.

These stories guide our lives, shape our behavior, and influence what we believe is possible. When you think you are reacting to the world around you, you are often just reacting to a story you’ve already told yourself—and one your nervous system is already playing out.

In this live, we dive into:

- The Filtered Reality: How to recognize when you aren’t seeing “the truth,” but rather a version of the world that has been heavily edited by your subconscious programs.

- The Core Narratives: Why most of our varied anxieties—whether they are about work, family, or the future—actually stem from just two or three “root stories” that have been guiding our entire lives.

- The Solution States: What becomes possible when you begin to see the threads. We discuss the “gift of the pause” and how somatic awareness allows you to stabilize your physical response before the story takes the wheel.

- A New Agency: Moving from being a character in your stories to being the one who chooses which stories are allowed to carry forward.

“You are not the story; you are the one choosing which stories carry forward.”

Let’s build better stories together.

What if the hardest relationship of your life was the one that raised you?

Recorded LIVE at the Innovations in Psychotherapy Conference in Anaheim, CA (October 2025) — in front of an incredible audience of therapists and mental health professionals — this powerful conversation with renowned psychologist and bestselling author of Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, Lindsay C. Gibson, brings depth, clarity, and practical healing to one of the most talked-about topics in mental health today.

Dr. Gibson reveals the hidden patterns of emotionally immature parents, and how growing up with one may still be shaping your adult life in ways you don’t even realize. She breaks down:

- Subtle (and not-so-subtle) characteristics of an emotionally immature parent

- 4 distinct types of emotionally immature parents, and how each one impacts a child differently

- What children of emotionally immature parents look like in adulthood

- How they function in romantic relationships (people-pleasing, over-caretaking, fear of conflict, emotional shutdown, & more)

- Powerful connection between emotional immaturity, codependency, alcoholism, & even chronic illness

- Why being forced into emotional caretaking as a child can damage your intuition & sense of self

- How emotional immaturity differs from diagnoses like narcissistic personality disorder and borderline personality disorder

- How to become an emotionally mature parent (even if you didn’t have one)

- Cultural shift in parenting expectations, and why so many adults are just now recognizing their childhood wounds

- Double-edged sword of social media: self-diagnosis vs. finally realizing you’re not alone

- How to know when to set boundaries: When to limit contact & when healing the relationship is actually possible

- Practical, actionable steps to rebuild your confidence, strengthen your sense of self, & learn how to truly connect

Most importantly, we explore why recognizing you were raised by an emotionally immature parent is not about blame — it’s about healing. As Dr. Gibson explains, many parents were doing the best they could with the emotional tools they had. Understanding that truth can be the first step toward freedom, forgiveness, and breaking generational cycles.

If you’ve ever felt:

- “Why do I feel responsible for everyone else’s emotions?”

- “Why is it so hard for me to trust myself?”

- “Why do my relationships feel one-sided or exhausting?”

- “Was my childhood actually normal, or was something missing?”

This conversation might change how you see your past — and your future. Watch until the end for Dr. Gibson’s most powerful advice on reclaiming your intuition, strengthening your identity, and becoming the emotionally mature adult (and parent) you needed.

You are not broken. You are not alone. And healing is possible.

For 41 years, Darryl Anka has served as the channel for Bashar — a multidimensional, physical extraterrestrial hybrid being from a parallel reality…and what he’s revealing now may change EVERYTHING.

Is humanity heading for a massive reset?

Is 2026 the true Year of Disclosure?

And will we experience OPEN CONTACT in 2027 — literally being introduced to extraterrestrials?

In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Darryl explains why he believes the next few decades will redefine humanity forever, and how disclosure, contact, and even artificial intelligence are part of a larger evolutionary leap.

Darryl Anka breaks down:

- Shocking story of how Darryl first began channeling Bashar after witnessing UAPs

- What it felt like the first time Bashar spoke through him in a meditation class (and what happens in his body and brain during channeling)

- Past-life agreement he says he made to become a channel in this lifetime

- Who Bashar really is: a “First Contact Specialist” from a parallel civilization making telepathic contact

- Why Bashar’s civilization is trying to help humanity evolve

- Why Darryl says everyone is channeling, whether they realize it or not

- Real requirements for believing he’s genuinely channeling (& what would disprove it)

- Phases of “Open Contact” & what we should be doing right now to prepare

- Why some humans experience alien abductions

- His take on the "Zoo Hypothesis"

- Are we living in a simulation? (Yes, but not how you think!)

- How extraterrestrials travel through space & time

- Why 2026 leads to disclosure & why 2027 could bring face-to-face contact

- Is AI the beginning of human hybridization?

- Telepathy, ESP, PSI, astral projection: How YOU can unlock them

- Why following your passion literally raises your frequency

- Why Earth is one of the most unique soul-learning environments in existence

- What reincarnation truly allows your soul to experience

- Guardian angels, spirit teams, & interventions from the other side

- Spontaneous healing & why energy healing sometimes doesn’t work

- How addiction keeps us spiritually stuck

- Creativity as a direct spiritual connection

- Why abundance isn’t just about money

- Bashar’s message for navigating illness, death, & the intense times we’re living in

- And the big question: What happens if these predictions don’t come true?

Darryl also reveals how channeling Bashar has changed the way he lives his own life, and why the coming years may demand more courage, authenticity, and alignment than ever before.

Whether you’re skeptical, curious, or already deep into consciousness exploration, this conversation will challenge what you think is possible. If even a fraction of this is true…humanity is about to enter its next chapter!

For 41 years, Darryl Anka has served as the channel for Bashar — a multidimensional, physical extraterrestrial hybrid being from a parallel reality…and what he’s revealing now may change EVERYTHING.

Is humanity heading for a massive reset?

Is 2026 the true Year of Disclosure?

And will we experience OPEN CONTACT in 2027 — literally being introduced to extraterrestrials?

In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Darryl explains why he believes the next few decades will redefine humanity forever, and how disclosure, contact, and even artificial intelligence are part of a larger evolutionary leap.

Darryl Anka breaks down:

- Shocking story of how Darryl first began channeling Bashar after witnessing UAPs

- What it felt like the first time Bashar spoke through him in a meditation class (and what happens in his body and brain during channeling)

- Past-life agreement he says he made to become a channel in this lifetime

- Who Bashar really is: a “First Contact Specialist” from a parallel civilization making telepathic contact

- Why Bashar’s civilization is trying to help humanity evolve

- Why Darryl says everyone is channeling, whether they realize it or not

- Real requirements for believing he’s genuinely channeling (& what would disprove it)

- Phases of “Open Contact” & what we should be doing right now to prepare

- Why some humans experience alien abductions

- His take on the "Zoo Hypothesis"

- Are we living in a simulation? (Yes, but not how you think!)

- How extraterrestrials travel through space & time

- Why 2026 leads to disclosure & why 2027 could bring face-to-face contact

- Is AI the beginning of human hybridization?

- Telepathy, ESP, PSI, astral projection: How YOU can unlock them

- Why following your passion literally raises your frequency

- Why Earth is one of the most unique soul-learning environments in existence

- What reincarnation truly allows your soul to experience

- Guardian angels, spirit teams, & interventions from the other side

- Spontaneous healing & why energy healing sometimes doesn’t work

- How addiction keeps us spiritually stuck

- Creativity as a direct spiritual connection

- Why abundance isn’t just about money

- Bashar’s message for navigating illness, death, & the intense times we’re living in

- And the big question: What happens if these predictions don’t come true?

Darryl also reveals how channeling Bashar has changed the way he lives his own life, and why the coming years may demand more courage, authenticity, and alignment than ever before.

Whether you’re skeptical, curious, or already deep into consciousness exploration, this conversation will challenge what you think is possible. If even a fraction of this is true…humanity is about to enter its next chapter!

Today we’re sharing something special that was previously only available to The Breaker community on the MBB Substack page. We were joined by Elizabeth Gilbert—celebrated author of Eat, Pray, Love and Big Magic—to discuss her newest book that explores a rarely-addressed topic: the dangerous impacts of co-dependency and sex and love addiction. We discussed how her path took her from the stability of a suburban marriage into a profound, life-altering romance with her best friend-turned-lover, Rayya Elias. And we explore the “untouchable darkness” that followed, where a relationship with a relapsing addict revealed Elizabeth’s own deepest addiction and codependency.

Elizabeth describes her descent into unmanageability, contemplating both murder and suicide—her only perceived options out of the pain—before experiencing a spiritual revelation and hearing the voice of what she now knows is her Higher Power.

While we often investigate the life experiences that shape our behavior, Elizabeth asserts that understanding “why” we suffer is rarely enough to heal us. Many of us attempt to fill a persistent internal darkness with food, drugs, sex, work, or porn, but ultimately, that “God-shaped hole” is only filled through a direct relationship with a power greater than ourselves.

Our live also covers:

- Visions and the Voice of God: The specific spiritual revelations and “visits from beyond” that have directed Elizabeth’s writing career and her path to love.

- The Dissolution of Fear: A look at the numerous spiritual revelations that led her to be rid of fear, anger, and shame.

- Discovery vs. Recovery: Why understanding the “why” of our behavior isn’t enough to change it.

Elizabeth reminds us that our peace cannot be held hostage by the expression on another person’s face. We invite you to watch this session as we explore the “invisible line” between love and pathology and find our way back to ourselves.

This might be the most vulnerable episode we’ve ever recorded.

No guests. No buffer. Just Mayim and Jonathan…and something we didn’t realize was quietly shaping Mayim's entire life!

We’re talking about Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) — and what started as a casual conversation turned into a full-blown personal reckoning.

If you’ve ever:

- Felt physical pain when you thought someone was disappointed in you

- Spiraled for HOURS (or years) over one tiny mistake

- Assumed you were getting fired every time your boss said, “Can we talk?”

- Left parties early because you were sure you didn’t belong

- Become enraged, ashamed, or devastated over something other people say “isn’t a big deal”

…this is the episode to help you make it all make sense.

Mayim & Jonathan break down:

- Very real, very intense emotional and physical experience of RSD (the kind often associated with ADHD and neurodivergence, but not limited to it)

- What’s happening in the brain

- Why logic DOESN’T fix it

- Overlap with perfectionism, people-pleasing, codependency, & rage

- Why success, fame, or external validation doesn’t magically make it go away

- Whether extreme physical training could override emotional sensitivity

Mayim shares stories she's never shared before:

- Why being late to meetings triggers white hot rage

- Why improv makes her want to cry

- Why hosting Jeopardy! didn’t protect her from feeling exposed

- What it was really like making public appearances while starring on The Big Bang Theory

And yes…you know they had to take a quiz. Follow along with us and share your results!

This Isn’t About Being “Too Sensitive”. This is about a nervous system that experiences perceived rejection as catastrophe.

For some people, it feels like:

- Being punched in the chest

- Not being able to breathe

- Instant shame and/or rage

- Total collapse of perspective

And if you don’t experience this? You’ll finally understand what someone you love might be going through.

The Hard Questions We Ask

- Is this just low self-esteem?

- Are we over-diagnosing everything?

- Is this a modern luxury problem?

- Does having a label help…or limit you?

- Can confidence actually fix this?

- What you can actually do to cope

And the most important takeaway:

This isn’t about weakness.

It’s about perception. And perception can shift.

This conversation evolved in ways we did NOT expect. It’s raw. It’s personal. It’s uncomfortable. And it might explain things in your life you’ve never had language for.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why does this hurt so much more for me than for everyone else?”

What if the technology that could save humanity…could also predict its end?

In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Michio Kaku — legendary cofounder of string field theory and author of Quantum Supremacy — breaks down the quantum revolution that’s about to change everything.

What is quantum computing, really?

Dr. Kaku explains its evolution from wild theory to world-altering reality — and how it could soon solve problems today’s supercomputers can’t even touch.

But that’s just the beginning. He reveals how quantum computing could:

- Extend human longevity and transform medicine

- Track dangerous asteroids before they strike

- Accelerate the search for extraterrestrial life

- Predict possible planetary catastrophes

- Help us study parallel universes

Are black holes actually gateways to interstellar travel?

Dr. Kaku explains the shocking physics that suggests they might not just destroy matter, but connect distant regions of space-time.

Are we alone in the universe?

He explains why he believes we are not, and how string theory may one day prove the existence of a multiverse.

Artificial Intelligence: Humanity’s Greatest Tool — or Its Biggest Threat?

Dr. Kaku shares why advancing AI deeply concerns him, why fighting AI may be the wrong strategy, and why he believes we may eventually need to merge with it instead.

Could AI and robots become our partners in space exploration?

Will artificial intelligence ever achieve consciousness?

What would physically merging with technology actually look like?

And what safeguards must we build before that future arrives?

Plus: Why he predicts we may see more “3I/ATLAS”-type interstellar comets entering our solar system, and what that means for Earth.

From quantum supremacy to the multiverse…from AI-human integration to black holes as cosmic gateways…this conversation explores the future of humanity at its most extreme edge.

The future isn’t science fiction. It’s already unfolding.

In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Michio Kaku — legendary cofounder of string field theory and author of Quantum Supremacy — breaks down the quantum revolution that’s about to change everything.

What is quantum computing, really?

Dr. Kaku explains its evolution from wild theory to world-altering reality — and how it could soon solve problems today’s supercomputers can’t even touch.

But that’s just the beginning. He reveals how quantum computing could:

- Extend human longevity and transform medicine

- Track dangerous asteroids before they strike

- Accelerate the search for extraterrestrial life

- Predict possible planetary catastrophes

- Help us study parallel universes

Are black holes actually gateways to interstellar travel?

Dr. Kaku explains the shocking physics that suggests they might not just destroy matter, but connect distant regions of space-time.

Are we alone in the universe?

He explains why he believes we are not, and how string theory may one day prove the existence of a multiverse.

Artificial Intelligence: Humanity’s Greatest Tool — or Its Biggest Threat?

Dr. Kaku shares why advancing AI deeply concerns him, why fighting AI may be the wrong strategy, and why he believes we may eventually need to merge with it instead.

Could AI and robots become our partners in space exploration?

Will artificial intelligence ever achieve consciousness?

What would physically merging with technology actually look like?

And what safeguards must we build before that future arrives?

Plus: Why he predicts we may see more “3I/ATLAS”-type interstellar comets entering our solar system, and what that means for Earth.

From quantum supremacy to the multiverse…from AI-human integration to black holes as cosmic gateways…this conversation explores the future of humanity at its most extreme edge.

The future isn’t science fiction. It’s already unfolding.

In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re revisiting one of our favorite episodes from 2024 with legendary journalist, Connie Chung.

Connie Chung Shattered the Chains of her Cultural Traditions and Navigated the News Waters in a Sea of Men.

Now she’s opening up about being sexually abused by her doctor as a teenager, her deep desire to be “one of the guys”, and why she thinks current news media is in the toilet.

She reveals how she conquered the male-dominated realms of journalism and politics, the clever ways she combated sexism and racism in the newsroom, how she managed to keep her emotions in check while delivering impartial news that shaped our world, and her struggles with tying her self worth to her career.

Hear about Connie’s wild stakeouts during the Watergate scandal, the reason she was forced to cover controversial figures like Tonya Harding & OJ Simpson, and her longtime marriage to daytime talk show host Maury Povich!

Connie Chung also breaks down:

- Her parents’ arranged marriage at a very early age & the loss of her older siblings

- How she broke out of the mindset of the traditional Chinese caste system

- Dangers of being seen as a feminist when she began & what feminism mean to her now

- Her first big news break

- Importance of neutrality & credible fact-checking in the news media

- Challenges women in media face today

It’s no wonder why so many Asian-American parents continue to name their kids after THE Connie Chung!

What if cancer isn’t just a disease… but a split personality inside your own body?

In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Michael Levin (Professor of Biology at Tufts University, Director of the Allen Discovery Center) drops paradigm-shattering insights that could redefine medicine, consciousness, intelligence...and what it even means to be human.

He explains why he calls cancer “dissociative identity disorder of the body” — a breakdown in the body’s bioelectrical network — and how this could open the door to treating cancer without drugs or chemotherapy, why “mind blindness” prevents us from recognizing nonhuman intelligence, and how “human” might be defined in a future of tech implants and biological augmentation.

Dr. Levin also breaks down:

- What does a body think about before there is a brain?

- Can we regrow limbs in our lifetime?

- Are we closer than we think to communicating with our organs via an app?

- What flatworms reveal about how trauma and memory are imprinted in tissue, and whether we might one day overwrite trauma itself

- What nonhuman intelligence could actually look like

- How you might play tic-tac-toe with an alien

- Real dangers of anthropomorphizing AI

Dr. Levin also tackles some of humanity’s biggest existential questions:

- Are we defining consciousness all wrong?

- How can ancient traditions and modern biophysics coexist?

- Why compassion may be the most advanced technology we have

From developmental biophysics to computer science to cognitive science, this conversation explores how intelligence may be woven into life itself — from cells to organs to entire bodies.

If what he’s saying is right…

Medicine will change.

AI debates will change.

And our understanding of ourselves will change.

You will never look at your body the same way again!

Are you the “fixer”? The old soul? The one everyone confides in?

If you’ve always felt responsible for other people’s emotions…

If chaos makes your nervous system light up…

If you feel calmer giving care than receiving it…

You might be a Wounded Healer.

In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Mayim & Jonathan break down the psychology, neuroscience, and archetype of the Wounded Healer — the empath, therapist, caregiver, parent, or high achiever who learned early in life that being needed was safer than being loved.

We explore:

- The myth of Chiron and the origin of the “wounded healer”

- How childhood trauma, alcoholism, chronic illness, or emotional unpredictability shape hypervigilance

- Neuroscience of empathy, mirror neurons, & nervous system entrainment

- Why highly sensitive people (HSPs) & empaths often burn out

- Hidden link between codependency & overgiving

- Why you attract people who “need fixing”

- How to set boundaries without losing your superpower

- How you can learn to "care without carrying”

Plus...Mayim and Jonathan take the 10-question Wounded Healer Quiz!

This isn’t about shame.

It’s about awareness.

Your ability to read micro-signals, anticipate needs, and feel what others feel before they say it can be a profound gift. But if you don’t consciously harness it, it can lead to burnout, emotional exhaustion, and relationship imbalance.

If you learned to be useful before you learned to be loved, this conversation is for you.

You are allowed to help.

You are allowed to heal.

And you are also allowed to receive.

Watch until the end for practical tools on regulating your nervous system, identifying unhealthy patterns, and transforming wounds into integrated strength.

What if the roots of modern cults, extremist politics, and even today’s “wellness” movements trace back to Nazi occultism, hypnotic manipulation, and one of the most controversial religions in the world?

In this explosive episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Jon Atack — the world’s leading expert on authoritarian cults and a former Scientologist who has spent over 40 years investigating its origins — reveals the shocking connections no one talks about. Drawing from his groundbreaking book If Scientology Ruled the World: Nazi Occultists, Sex Magick, Space Aliens, and the Second Coming, Jon uncovers how occult beliefs influenced the Nazi Party… and how those same ideas shaped Scientology.

Jon Atack breaks down:

- How L. Ron Hubbard repackaged occult practices (including hypnotic techniques, repetition, fixation, and mimicry) and sold them as revolutionary “science”

- Outlandish promises that hooked followers: supernatural powers, immunity to illness, genius-level IQ, emotional mastery

- How Hubbard’s early interest in psychology morphed into the darker techniques behind Dianetics

- Hidden factors in Hubbard’s personal life (addiction, PTSD, and legal trouble for practicing medicine without a license) that shaped what Scientology would become

- Allegations of how followers were treated, including psychological and physical abuse

- Frightening recourse Jon himself faced for speaking out

Jon also shares his deeply personal story of joining, and ultimately escaping, Scientology. He reveals the major red flags he ignored at first… and the first warning sign you should always look for before joining any movement or ideology.

But this conversation goes far beyond Scientology.

We also cover:

- What actually defines a cult or authoritarian group

- How recruitment tactics are now supercharged by the internet and social media

- Where dangerous occult practices are still hiding in plain sight

- Surprising benefits and dangers of hypnotherapy

- How to distinguish modern spirituality from manipulative occult systems

- Why today’s political climate often mirrors cult dynamics

- Why healthy skepticism might be the most important survival skill of the digital age

This isn’t about throwing away all ideology or spirituality. It’s about learning how to extract the good without falling for manipulation.

If you care about psychology, cults, spirituality, politics, authoritarian movements, mind control, or the hidden forces shaping modern society…this is a conversation you cannot afford to miss.

In this explosive episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Jon Atack — the world’s leading expert on authoritarian cults and a former Scientologist who has spent over 40 years investigating its origins — reveals the shocking connections no one talks about. Drawing from his groundbreaking book If Scientology Ruled the World: Nazi Occultists, Sex Magick, Space Aliens, and the Second Coming, Jon uncovers how occult beliefs influenced the Nazi Party… and how those same ideas shaped Scientology.

Jon Atack breaks down:

- How L. Ron Hubbard repackaged occult practices (including hypnotic techniques, repetition, fixation, and mimicry) and sold them as revolutionary “science”

- Outlandish promises that hooked followers: supernatural powers, immunity to illness, genius-level IQ, emotional mastery

- How Hubbard’s early interest in psychology morphed into the darker techniques behind Dianetics

- Hidden factors in Hubbard’s personal life (addiction, PTSD, and legal trouble for practicing medicine without a license) that shaped what Scientology would become

- Allegations of how followers were treated, including psychological and physical abuse

- Frightening recourse Jon himself faced for speaking out

Jon also shares his deeply personal story of joining, and ultimately escaping, Scientology. He reveals the major red flags he ignored at first… and the first warning sign you should always look for before joining any movement or ideology.

But this conversation goes far beyond Scientology.

We also cover:

- What actually defines a cult or authoritarian group

- How recruitment tactics are now supercharged by the internet and social media

- Where dangerous occult practices are still hiding in plain sight

- Surprising benefits and dangers of hypnotherapy

- How to distinguish modern spirituality from manipulative occult systems

- Why today’s political climate often mirrors cult dynamics

- Why healthy skepticism might be the most important survival skill of the digital age

This isn’t about throwing away all ideology or spirituality. It’s about learning how to extract the good without falling for manipulation.

If you care about psychology, cults, spirituality, politics, authoritarian movements, mind control, or the hidden forces shaping modern society…this is a conversation you cannot afford to miss.

Today we’re sharing something special that was previously only available over on our Substack page! Mayim and Jonathan lead the Breaker community in an inquiry into the nature of knowing, experiencing, and being. They discuss two of our most recent episodes: the neuroscientific mysteries and shocking disclosure of lead “Telepathy Tapes” scientist, Dr. Julia Mossbridge as well as the social “five-alarm fire” plaguing men, as tackled by Scott Galloway.

In This Live:

- Mayim tries Remote Viewing: We go behind the scenes of the Remote Viewing exercise from the Dr. Mossbridge episode, with Mayim explaining her attempts to quiet her analytical, scientific mind in order to access a non-linear, intuitive state. Dr. Mossbridge suggests that we are all capable of accessing untapped cognitive ability with the goal of expanding our intuitive senses and making connections we’ve been trained to ignore.

- A Missing History & Covert Operations? Dr. Mossbridge discusses her recent book which led her to reveal childhood memories of being tested in elementary school while given a “pink drink” as well as evidence of redacted records from that time. The Breaker community shares that they have similar memories of school testing in the 1970s - are these related?!

- The “Yes-Bot” and the Numbing Trap: Scott Galloway rang a “five-alarm fire” with his recent book, Notes On Being A Man, and Mayim and Jonathan discuss how women are paying the price for a generation of men who numb out through video games, pornography, gambling apps, and “Yes-Bots.” With two-thirds of men under 18 currently in a “relationship” with an AI entity, we explore how this can stunt emotional development and the impact men numbing out has on all of us.

As always, the Breaker community brings a vibrant and enthusiastic set of questions, as well as a growing sense of getting to know Mayim and Jonathan - and each other - better through these discussions. We are so happy Dr. Mossbridge and Scott’s episodes engendered such a lively - and hilarious - conversation!

Today, in honor of Eating Disorders Awareness Week, we’re revisiting one of our very popular episodes from way back in 2022 with singer, songwriter, musician, Alanis Morissette.

Alanis Morissette (singer, songwriter, musician) breaks down different versions of restoration, the dangers of intolerance and a lack of boundary-setting, and the beauty of anger as a catalyst for positive change. She explains why meditation may not be for everyone, the benefits of guided meditations, and her approach to creating her new meditation album. Alanis opens up about the origins of her disordered eating, her prophetic visions about her career, and the dangers of turning anger inward. Mayim and Jonathan discuss the reasons we project our parents’ relationship onto our own partners, cranial sacral therapy, and what it means to truly rest. Stick around until the end to hear Mayim sing and dissect Alanis’s lyrics!

What if your spiritual awakening was so powerful, you thought you were being mind controlled?

In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati — global spiritual leader and bestselling author of Come Home to Yourself and Hollywood to the Himalayas — reveals the raw, unfiltered truth about the awakening that shattered her old identity and opened her to a universal realization: everything is connected through unconditional love.

But it didn’t start peacefully. At first, she thought she was losing her mind.

From a science-trained skeptic to a spiritual teacher living in the Himalayas, Sadhviji shares what divinity actually feels like in the body, what happens when your attachment to your identity explodes, and why her awakening was so radical it led to the end of her marriage.

Sadhviji breaks down:

- Her journey through disordered eating, trauma, abandonment, and codependency before awakening

- Why healing childhood wounds is essential so adult triggers stop running your life

- Physical process of releasing anger, pain, and stored trauma from the body

- What’s really holding most of us back from spiritual experiences

- How she resists physical temptations and stays grounded in spiritual discipline

- Freedom that comes from “Breaking Free of the Self”

- How to integrate smaller spiritual experiences (even if you haven’t had a lightning-bolt awakening)

- Power of holy and sacred places for us as energetic beings

- How divine intelligence in nature reveals the “unexplainable”

- Why coming into everything with an open heart changes your entire reality

With her background in science, Sadhviji also shares her fascinating perspective on watching quantum physics slowly catch up in attempting to explain mystical truths sages have known for millennia, and what it will actually take to spark a global spiritual awakening (hint: it’s not as impossible as we think)

This isn’t just a spiritual story.

It’s a blueprint for healing, awakening, and living in radical love.

If you’ve ever questioned reality, longed for deeper truth, struggled with trauma, or wondered whether awakening is real, this conversation may change everything.

Today we’re sharing something special that was previously only available over on our Substack page, our exclusive live post-episode chat Mayim and Jonathan did with our special Substack community about the recent episode we did with Michael Singer, the renowned spiritual teacher and author of The Untethered Soul.

While many enter 2026 with a "best year ever" mentality that can feel arbitrary or even off-putting, this discussion offers something more grounded: a simple and powerful mantra for when things go wrong—"I can handle this."

How do we do that? We start by deconstructing the internal narratives that keep us in a reactive state. Mayim and Jonathan dive into the "most valuable sell" for anyone seeking peace: the realization that we don’t need to "wake up" to a new reality, but rather stop putting ourselves back to sleep with our own "emotional garbage".

But "I can handle this" is more than just a phrase; it’s a way to influence our biology. Mayim explains that when we use our intellect to imagine something different, we are actually changing our physiology—altering our body’s ability to heal, connect, and thrive. By leaning into this mantra, we stop the "animal part" of our brain from merely reacting to past programming and instead use our consciousness to navigate the world with choice.

The live also explores:

- The Myth of the Permanent High: Spiritual awakening is not a constant state of euphoria. It’s about the "residue" you bring back from the mountaintop to handle the messy reality of traffic, technology fails, and human conflict.

- The Sky Metaphor for Awareness: Peace and beauty are always available—like the sky—but we are often "unavailable" to notice them because we are fighting reality rather than acknowledging it.

- Navigating the "Grit vs. Flow" Balance: A deep dive into the tension between the tenacity required to achieve goals and the spiritual wisdom required to read the "writing on the wall" when it’s time to change course.

- Micro-Deconstruction of Fear: Jonathan explains how to slow down a reactive moment to distinguish between a genuine lack of safety and a familiar "story" generated by past programming.

- Acceptance as an Active Choice: How to move beyond "ignoring" or "suppressing" difficult feelings and instead learning to take the "signs of resistance" as vital information.

This is a conversation about the intersection of neurobiology and ancient wisdom, providing a toolkit for anyone ready to stop fighting the universe and start handling whatever 2026 brings.

We hope you enjoy it, and we hope to see you over on Substack!

What if consciousness isn’t just in your brain, but in every cell of the universe?

In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Marjorie Woollacott—renowned neuroscientist and leading researcher on consciousness and spiritual experience—shares her personal journey of spiritual awakening. She describes a transformative guided meditation where she felt an electric current flow from her head to her heart, accompanied by an overwhelming sense of love unlike anything she’d ever experienced.

Dr. Woollacott dives into the science, the mysticism, and the practical wisdom behind spiritual transformation, including:

- Why it’s vital to integrate spiritual experiences into daily life and how she finally merged her academic & spiritual paths after keeping them separate for so long

- Neural features in the brain that limit access to extrasensory perception, and why some people are born with “their senses wide open”

- Why you don’t need a scientific explanation to fully embrace the positive transformation of a spiritual awakening

- Practical tips to quiet your mind & deepen meditation, even if you’ve struggled in the past

- How connection matters more than ever in challenging global times

- Who is more likely to have psi abilities, and how Near Death Experiences can unlock hidden potential

- How some people can go beyond space & time if they believe it’s possible

- Why placebo works & how to balance self-agency with surrendering to the universe

- Her belief that consciousness exists differently in dreams & alternate states, and how collective consciousness can create real-world change

- The incredible story of a doctor's out-of-body experience during hypnotic regression in an NDE, and what it teaches us about the mind and soul

- Scientific argument for why telekinesis could be possible

- Importance of finding purpose, noticing synchronicities, and staying “open” to life’s hidden signals

- Power of prayer & Reiki, and why establishing energetic boundaries between healer & patient is essential

Whether you’re curious about spiritual awakening, consciousness, extrasensory perception, near death experiences, or the science behind mysticism, this conversation will expand your mind, open your heart, and challenge what you thought was possible.

Prepare to explore the frontier where science meets the soul, and discover how your own awareness could be far greater than you ever imagined!

What if the world’s most elite pilots and astronauts aren’t just highly trained, but perceptive in ways science still struggles to explain?

In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Iya Whiteley—Aviation & Space Psychologist and founder of Cosmic Baby Academy—reveals why the cognition of pilots and astronauts differs fundamentally, and what their mental wiring can teach us about intuition, creativity, consciousness, and extrasensory perception.

We explore why they’re often driven more by curiosity and creativity than fear or ambition—and why so many are artists or musicians. Dr. Whiteley explains how safety-critical environments sharpen awareness, yet make experts reluctant to share the intuitive or “non-rational” roots of their decisions.

From martial arts and embodied intelligence to the idea that intellect may live in the muscles (not just the brain), we unpack how heightened presence allows some to anticipate movement, energy, or events beyond the five senses. Could this explain why experts are studied to understand ESP, even when they can’t explain it?

Dr. Iya Whiteley breaks down:

- Reports of extrasensory perception in extreme situations

- Spherical awareness, synesthesia, psi abilities, and other heightened perception

- Why intuition becomes harder to access once we try to explain it

- How rigid rules suppress expertise, isolate experts, and block knowledge transfer

- Why fear of having our minds “read” may motivate us to clear negative thoughts (& what that says about thought’s power)

- Whether mindsets create change, or environments respond to mindset

- How internal organs & physiological responses differ in pilots & astronauts

- Family Constellation Therapy: what it is & how it works

- Childbirth visions & pre-birth communication during pregnancy & birth

- Synchronicity & meaningful coincidences: how they form lifelong patterns

The conversation extends into the UAP/extraterrestrial phenomenon, where Dr. Whiteley explains how her pilot and astronaut research applies to these encounters. Pilots report instruments switching on and off, unexplained objects in the sky, and real danger from distraction during critical flight moments—yet many fear reporting events due to stigma and professional risk. She shares a striking account of a helicopter pilot who encountered something mysterious while transporting a classified object, and introduces the “Astronaut’s Eye” phenomenon, showing why sharing anomalous experiences is essential to legitimizing them and advancing understanding.

This episode challenges the boundaries between science, intuition, embodiment, and consciousness—and asks: What becomes possible when we stop dismissing experiences that don’t fit existing models? If you’re interested in pilots, astronauts, ESP, UAPs, intuition, consciousness, or the future of human perception, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss!

What if the world’s most elite pilots and astronauts aren’t just highly trained, but perceptive in ways science still struggles to explain?

In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Iya Whiteley—Aviation & Space Psychologist and founder of Cosmic Baby Academy—reveals why the cognition of pilots and astronauts differs fundamentally, and what their mental wiring can teach us about intuition, creativity, consciousness, and extrasensory perception.

We explore why they’re often driven more by curiosity and creativity than fear or ambition—and why so many are artists or musicians. Dr. Whiteley explains how safety-critical environments sharpen awareness, yet make experts reluctant to share the intuitive or “non-rational” roots of their decisions.

From martial arts and embodied intelligence to the idea that intellect may live in the muscles (not just the brain), we unpack how heightened presence allows some to anticipate movement, energy, or events beyond the five senses. Could this explain why experts are studied to understand ESP, even when they can’t explain it?

Dr. Iya Whiteley breaks down:

- Reports of extrasensory perception in extreme situations

- Spherical awareness, synesthesia, psi abilities, and other heightened perception

- Why intuition becomes harder to access once we try to explain it

- How rigid rules suppress expertise, isolate experts, and block knowledge transfer

- Why fear of having our minds “read” may motivate us to clear negative thoughts (& what that says about thought’s power)

- Whether mindsets create change, or environments respond to mindset

- How internal organs & physiological responses differ in pilots & astronauts

- Family Constellation Therapy: what it is & how it works

- Childbirth visions & pre-birth communication during pregnancy & birth

- Synchronicity & meaningful coincidences: how they form lifelong patterns

The conversation extends into the UAP/extraterrestrial phenomenon, where Dr. Whiteley explains how her pilot and astronaut research applies to these encounters. Pilots report instruments switching on and off, unexplained objects in the sky, and real danger from distraction during critical flight moments—yet many fear reporting events due to stigma and professional risk. She shares a striking account of a helicopter pilot who encountered something mysterious while transporting a classified object, and introduces the “Astronaut’s Eye” phenomenon, showing why sharing anomalous experiences is essential to legitimizing them and advancing understanding.

This episode challenges the boundaries between science, intuition, embodiment, and consciousness—and asks: What becomes possible when we stop dismissing experiences that don’t fit existing models? If you’re interested in pilots, astronauts, ESP, UAPs, intuition, consciousness, or the future of human perception, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss!
