  • MENTAL HEALTH
  • UPDATED TWICE WEEKLY

Consciousness. Spontaneous healing. UAPs. Near Death Experiences. Manifestation. Psychic phenomena. Angels. Nothing is off limits if it can be approached with curiosity and rigor. MBB started as a conversation about mental health — and quickly became something much bigger. Because the deeper you go into what it means to be human, the faster you run into questions science hasn’t fully answered yet. Hosted by neuroscientist and cultural icon Mayim Bialik and spiritual explorer Jonathan Cohen, MBB is a multi-award-winning podcast where science and spirituality meet. Together they break down the assumptions, the misperceptions, and the boundaries between disciplines — and every breakdown is a breakthrough. This is where the biggest questions get taken seriously — and where you realize you’ve never been alone in asking them. Can the mind actually heal the body? Can quantum physics explain psychic phenomena? What do Near Death Experiences reveal about the nature of consciousness and the seat of the human soul? What if the only thing separating you from your own intuition - or even God - is the assumption that it’s out of reach? And if governments are publicly acknowledging the existence of UFOs, what does that mean for the future of humanity? These are the questions Mayim Bialik's Breakdown asks every week.

    Spiritual Teacher On The Hidden War For Earth, WWIII, Dark Forces, And How The Light Can Win | Lee Harris

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

Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty Parenting today feels like navigating endless advice while quietly wondering if you’re doing any of it right. Jay sits down with bestselling author and economist Emily Oster to unpack one of the most overwhelming journeys many people will ever face: becoming a parent. In a world filled with endless advice, social media pressure, and conflicting research, parenting can start to feel like a test you’re constantly failing. Emily offers a refreshing, data-driven perspective that helps parents cut through the noise, separating real evidence from the myths that fuel unnecessary anxiety. From pregnancy and fertility to sleep training and screen time, this conversation reveals what truly matters and what parents can finally let go of. Together, Jay and Emily challenge many of the parenting beliefs we’ve accepted without question. They explore why modern parents feel so overwhelmed by information and expectations, when the data actually shows there are many “right” ways to raise a child. Emily breaks down how correlation is often mistaken for causation in parenting advice and how that misunderstanding quietly drives guilt, fear, and comparison. Whether it’s breastfeeding versus formula, screen time, sleep training, or developmental milestones, Emily encourages parents to move away from perfection and toward confident, thoughtful decision-making. In this episode you'll learn: How to Stop Overthinking Parenting Decisions How to Decide What Parenting Advice to Ignore How to Choose the Sleep Strategy That Works for Your Family How to Raise Kids with a Growth Mindset How to Plan Parenting Decisions Before Problems Arise How to Let Go of the Pressure to Parent Perfectly Parenting can feel overwhelming, especially in a world filled with endless advice, opinions, and expectations. The truth is, raising a child isn’t about getting every small decision perfectly right, it’s about showing up with love, care, and intention, day after day.

    Re-Air: Danny Trejo: I Was As Sick As My Secrets

    In honor of Alcohol Awareness Month, we’re revisiting a very special episode from 2023 with the one-and-only Danny Trejo. Danny Trejo (actor, restaurauteur, & author) joins us in-studio to discuss how the culture he was raised in contributed to his early drug and alcohol use, the evolution of his relationship with a higher power from one of fear to one of love, and his transition from convict to actor/author/restaurateur. He opens up about being conditioned as a child to use rage and violence to survive, what early sobriety taught him, and why he feels like he can reach troubled youth better than other adults. Danny explains what it was like to be incarcerated for the first time, his role as an “Inmate Social Catalyst” in prison, and why his parole board actually suggested he murder someone. Mayim and Danny consider the weaknesses of our prison system and the inhumanity of solitary confinement after Danny shares his heartbreaking experience being locked up “in the hole.” Danny reveals how his drug counseling skills led him to land acting roles, his experiences training movie stars in the art of prison boxing, his love of good food and the fascinating story of how he got into the restaurant business. He also considers the negative effects of toxic masculinity, his complex relationships with women, why his children are his vulnerable spot, his favorites of his iconic acting roles, and his status as a Los Angeles icon.

    Part Two: Searching for Alien Life, the UFO Disclosure Era, the Great Filter & How Much Time Earth Has Left | Dr. David Kipping

    Are We ALONE…or Already Being WATCHED? The Truth Might Be Stranger Than Sci-Fi What if aliens could already find Earth, but we still can’t find them? What if the reason we haven’t detected nonhuman intelligence is actually more disturbing than proof that they exist? Is the universe teaming with life, or are we screaming into a void? In this episode of Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown, Dr. David Kipping (Columbia University professor and Director of the Cool Worlds Lab) discusses why the ‘proof’ of alien life might be hidden in plain sight—and why our human brains struggle to accept it. From the Fermi Paradox to the terrifying reality of the Great Filter, we’re breaking down the science of the stars and the psychology of solitude. From controversial Mars discoveries to theories about communicating with aliens through time, not space, this episode will challenge everything you think you know about our place in the universe.

TALKING TO ALIENS THROUGH TIME - Why communication across time could be easier than across space - Paradox of UAP sightings: visible one moment, undetectable the next - What kind of scientific evidence would actually prove alien encounters HOW LIFE REALLY BEGAN (AND WHY IT TOOK SO LONG) - Biggest mysteries behind the origin of life on Earth - How understanding our beginnings could help us discover life elsewhere - Why Earth could become uninhabitable in under 1 billion years BLACK HOLES, WORMHOLES, & BREAKING REALITY - What actually happens when something falls into a black hole - Black hole information paradox & why it could unlock the universe - Lab-created “mini” black holes - Wormholes, negative energy, & what might exist on the other side - How the Holographic Principle is shaking the foundations of physics AI, BABY UNIVERSES & THE FUTURE OF SCIENCE - How AI is accelerating discovery, but also creating new risks - Why the public is starting to feel misled by science - What baby universes mean for reality FROM OUR GALAXY TO THE EDGE OF EVERYTHING - How recent tech advancements have transformed our understanding of the cosmos - Why exoplanets could have been discovered much earlier - What makes Earth scientifically special…and why it might not be that special at all If you’re curious about aliens, the origin of life, black holes, or the ultimate fate of humanity, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss!

    Part Two: The Holistic Psychologist: Why Childhood Wounds Block Intuition, How Trauma Pulls You Into The Past & The Science of Reparenting Your Nervous System | Dr. Nicole LePera

    What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t about your job, your partner, or your motivation, but a wound you’ve been carrying since childhood? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Nicole LePera — better known as “The Holistic Psychologist” and author of Reparenting the Inner Child — reveals why your adult patterns are NOT random…and why insight alone will never set you free. Dr. Nicole LePera breaks down the 9 different childhood wounds silently shaping your adult relationships, like: - If you couldn’t trust a caregiver → why you’re guarded, suspicious, and prone to self-sabotage - If you had too much responsibility → why you’re a compulsive caretaker battling burnout and weak boundaries - If you were rejected → why perfectionism and people-pleasing became your survival strategy She also reveals: - Why “inner child work” feels like being pulled into an alternate timeline (how your nervous system literally drags you back into the past!) - Hidden damage of being a parentified child, and the burnout, resentment, and boundary struggles that follow you into adulthood - Shocking prevalence of sibling abuse, and how it fractures the inner child in ways most people never acknowledge - Real dangers of corporal punishment (& what it wires into a child’s nervous system) - Why denying a child’s emotional reality creates lifelong shame - Shame 101: What it actually is, how it’s different from guilt, how it lives in the body - How unresolved emotions block your intuition and keep you from your life path Dr. LePera explains how childhood wounds don’t just live in your memories — they live in your body. Chronic tension. Digestive issues. Hyper-independence. Emotional numbness. “Survival mode” that you thought was normal. (It’s not.) We also unpack: - Can you truly heal if you can’t reconcile with your parents? - How emotionally immature caregivers were shaped by their wounds - Why it’s especially hard to admit you need inner child healing when you’re a parent yourself - What people are getting completely wrong about boundary-setting - Delicate balance between honesty with kids & preserving parental authority - Why it’s never too late to become the parent you didn’t have - Shadow work: The unconscious forces driving your projections & sabotaging your relationships And maybe most importantly…How to have grace for yourself while making small, powerful shifts. Because healing isn’t about blaming your parents. It’s about reclaiming your power. It’s about realizing survival mode was adaptive, but it doesn’t have to be your forever state. If you’ve ever thought: “Why do I keep doing this?” “Why do I feel shame for no reason?” “Why can’t I just change?” This conversation might be the missing piece. On the other side of this work? Clarity. Regulation. Authenticity. Hope. And proof that it’s never too late to come home to yourself.

  8. Part Two: He Actually Died: What He Saw on the Other Side of the White Light, from the Life Review to Meeting Jesus to the Truth About Why Earth Is the Hardest Place to Incarnate

    Part Two: He Actually Died: What He Saw on the Other Side of the White Light, from the Life Review to Meeting Jesus to the Truth About Why Earth Is the Hardest Place to Incarnate

    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.

About

Consciousness. Spontaneous healing. UAPs. Near Death Experiences. Manifestation. Psychic phenomena. Angels. Nothing is off limits if it can be approached with curiosity and rigor. MBB started as a conversation about mental health — and quickly became something much bigger. Because the deeper you go into what it means to be human, the faster you run into questions science hasn’t fully answered yet. Hosted by neuroscientist and cultural icon Mayim Bialik and spiritual explorer Jonathan Cohen, MBB is a multi-award-winning podcast where science and spirituality meet. Together they break down the assumptions, the misperceptions, and the boundaries between disciplines — and every breakdown is a breakthrough. This is where the biggest questions get taken seriously — and where you realize you’ve never been alone in asking them. Can the mind actually heal the body? Can quantum physics explain psychic phenomena? What do Near Death Experiences reveal about the nature of consciousness and the seat of the human soul? What if the only thing separating you from your own intuition - or even God - is the assumption that it’s out of reach? And if governments are publicly acknowledging the existence of UFOs, what does that mean for the future of humanity? These are the questions Mayim Bialik's Breakdown asks every week.
