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. 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!
