About this episode

This week, Scott is joined by the multitalented Mayim Bialik and Jonathan Cohen. You might know Mayim as the star of Blossom and The Big Bang Theory, or as the former host of Jeopardy!, but she’s also a neuroscientist with a PhD from UCLA and the creator of the popular mental health podcast Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown.

Jonathan Cohen, her co-host and co-creator, is a writer, poet, and futurist with a passion for storytelling, technology, and mindfulness. Together, they share a deep commitment to shifting the conversation around mental health and emotional well-being.

The three explore their shared journey, the power of authentic storytelling, and their mission to break down the stigma surrounding mental health. This conversation dives into everything from neuroscience to pop culture, offering a fresh perspective on what it means to thrive in today’s world.
