Back again this week with what is quickly becoming a fan favorite, the Bevisode! In this third installment we go a little meta with Bev breaking down her own episode... breaking down other guests’ episodes. Bev goes on to share her admiration for us getting a ‘down to earth’ millennial like Sofia Franklyn on the show along with her lack of enthusiasm for the mindful, philosophical conversation we had with Sam Harris. Later Bev reflects on the sadness she felt during Jaleel White’s openness about the realities of being a child star and the similarities she saw in Mayim. And finally, we break down her thoughts on male nail polish in AJ McLean’s episode, plus the correlations around the idea of ‘chaos’ that she experienced in her life.

Unlock the secrets of human potential & self-actualization with Scott Barry Kaufman, Ph.D. (cognitive psychologist, host of the #1 psychology podcast in the world - The Psychology Podcast, author of Rise Above)! Kaufman explains the mysteries of extrasensory perception and how he now believes in past-life transgressions. He unravels the complexities of a ADHD diagnosis and how ADHD could be a sign of giftedness not just a disorder. Mayim and Jonathan explore with Kaufman the shocking link between trauma, creativity, and intelligence. Discover how labels like "learning disability" can be shattered to overcome anxiety and depression, how we all might be neurodiverse, and how cognitive distortions can influence your personality and create a victim mindset. Get ready for his game-changing take on reincarnation, creative genius, and the science of narcissism. Plus, we’re back into unpacking more of the chart-topping podcast, The Telepathy Tapes! Mayim breaks down the scientific framework around collective consciousness and the challenges with proving it scientifically. This is a conversation you won’t want to miss!
Jeffrey Kripal is a professor of Philosophy and Religious Thought at Rice University in Houston, Texas and he is back on the pod to answer all your burning questions about extremely popular podcast THE TELEPATHY TAPES (is it real? Is it a hoax?), near-death experiences and how science falls short when studying the metaphysical. Jeffrey explains how the very attempt at measuring extra-sensory abilities could make them unmeasurable. Mayim and Jeffrey explore the possibility that those with autism, ADHD or who are nonverbal may be able to tap into another realm and how fear plays a large role in limiting our perception of these abilities.
David Poses (speaker, expert, activist, author of The Weight of Air) discusses the intersection of addiction and mental health. He opens up about becoming addicted to heroin in an attempt to treat his depression after learning about it in a school drug education program, and how he was able to function on and effectively hide his addiction to the drug. Mayim and David debate the benefits and disadvantages of 12-step programs and consider how society’s need for instant gratification may contribute to the ongoing opioid epidemic. They discuss the need to change our perceptions about those with substance abuse issues and restructure the way we view mental illness in general. Mayim explains the effects of marijuana on depression in another installment of Ask Mayim Anything.
