Hey, everyone. I'm Kai Dickens, and welcome back to the Talk Tracks. In this episode, we're sitting down with Mayim Bialik, someone that many of you may know from her decades-long career in television, from her roles in shows like Blossom to The Big Bang Theory, where she played a neuroscientist on TV. The incredible thing about Mayim is that in real life, she actually is one. Mayim holds a PhD in neuroscience from UCLA, with a focus on psychoneuroendocrinology and obsessive compulsive disorder. She is also the host of her own podcast, Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, where she explores the intersection between science and spirituality. This was a super fun conversation, and Mayim and I have a lot in common, so I hope you enjoy it. [gentle music] Hi, everyone. I'm Kai Dickens, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to the Talk Tracks. In this series, we'll dive deeper into the revelations, challenges, and unexpected truths from The Telepathy Tapes. The goal is to explore all the threads that weave together our understanding of reality, science, spirituality, and yes, even unexplained things like psi abilities. If you haven't yet listened to The Telepathy Tapes, I encourage you to start there. It lays the foundation for everything we'll be exploring in this journey. We'll feature conversations with groundbreaking researchers, thinkers, non-speakers, and experiencers who illuminate the extraordinary connections that may defy explanation today, but won't for long. If you wanna see our incredible guests in person, we have a video version of this episode on The Telepathy Tapes YouTube page.
