Welcome to My Breakdown

I’m Mayim Bialik and welcome to my breakdown!

Not my literal breakdown. It’s the way I start every episode of the podcast I started with my partner and BFF, Jonathan Cohen. Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown (our podcast or MBB as we call it) is available on my YOUTUBE channel and anywhere you listen to podcasts.

I have decided to come over to Substack - and bring the podcast with me! - because here, I am excited to connect in deeper and more meaningful ways with a community of like-minded individuals. Some of you may know the podcast, some of you may know me from my acting career, but no matter how you got here, I think we are all on a journey to figure out who we are, what we can do to feel and live better and how opening our minds and hearts can help us achieve things we never believed possible. That’s what our podcast seeks to do and that’s what I hope to share with you here.

Here’s a bit more about our podcast: We have 75M downloads and almost 300 episodes released to date, and every episode has me and Jonathan bringing insightful, inspired, and often hilarious conversations exploring the intersection of science and spirituality.

In addition, I am sooooo excited to get back to writing, sharing the lesser-known aspects of my time as an actor and public person since the age of 11. Most of my writing will live over on the MBB substack, so I encourage you to subscribe and follow so you don’t miss anything!

In addition the MBB substack is where you need to be subscribed to to receive our weekly newsletters and watch me do weekly lives - you don’t want to miss those! We will review episodes, talk about current events, answer your questions, and provide surprise content! I’ll mostly be going live from that account so make sure you are subscribed there for all of that fun stuff. . If you choose to be a subscriber to MBB (which I hope you will!), you will also get Monday check-ins, a ton of fun bonus podcast content and a variety of other awesome features!

I’m excited to build a community here at a time in our lives when social media and the news cycle can feel destructive and hurtful and dialogue can become so politicized and hostile. I’m eager to have this be a fun, creative space where people are focused on growth, understanding, creativity, friendship, and learning new things together. Thanks for being here!!!!

I’m so glad we found each other.
