Bevisode with Mayim's Mom! Mysticism, Motherhood, Hungarian Superpowers & Pioneering Prison Programs

Bev breaks down previous episodes in our fourth Bevisode installment! This week, Bev reacts to an engaging slot of recent episodes by discussing her own responses to the callings of waking dreams touched on by Elizabeth Bachner, along with the importance of recognizing when to seek help in the struggle with addiction addressed in Brian Posehn's episode. Later, Bev reminisces about teaching in a women’s prison and the programs she pioneered during her successful career in response to the Sal Khan episode, and shares the sadness and understanding she felt during Wil Wheaton’s revelations about wanting to leave the entertainment industry.

We need an episode where Bev shows us her art!❤

I second this. I’s swear that the painting in her wall at her back is hers...

[@jerriwilliams9696]

Yes!

AGREED and maybe practice her seeing on someone in the listening audience. Lol

And now I'm not just a Mayim fan, I'm a Beverly fan as well ❤️😅

This Jonathan dude is amazing, thank you Mayim for make us get to know him.

[@samanthaodaniel]

I love your mother Mayim. She is hilarious and love her stories.

[@mirfir]

Definitely!

[@marisamartinezolivera]

Appart of more #Bevisodes (oh..how I adore her!) we need: A) Jonathan as guest of Mayim B) Mayim as guest of Jonathan C) An episode were some of your long term viewers and followers of your podcast are the guests (Zoom, how I love you! ) And..I volunteer myself here! D) Jim Parsons as guest A girl can dream, right? Thank you to the three of you for these adorable but wise #Bevisodes (btw, csn Bev adopt me? I wish I could have a mom like her! )😘😘

Hungarian superpower. As a Hungarian I really like the sound of that :D

I was thinking about the same. 100% Hungarian but i don't feel any simple power in me, definitely not superpower. Long way to go

[@kristenv80]

My Mom's health is declining and watching the Bevisodes has really got me thinking that even though doing this with a Mom might be painfully awkward, it could probably be extremely healing. Because of the Podcast, I have been approaching my limited time with my Mom as a laid back "interview". It's been helping me to get to know HER as a PERSON better. I swear, interviewing your Mom is such a brilliant idea. Thank all three of you!!!!

[@auntnathaly]

A Bevisode + mysticism!! Damn right she's trending!

[@reneelviracontreras9646]

Love your Mom ! When she’s on time goes by fast, I could listen to her for hours ❤️

[@charliejess2516]

“Maybe you could paint my father and bring him back I kinda miss him!” Oh mayim, you’re the funniest

[@kayleed2497]

Have you ever felt like an episode was made just for you, and that someone was speaking direct to you? Thank you always Mayim

[@KristinM626]

I was just thinking how it’s been a while since we’ve gotten a Bevisode & woke up to a new one. These might be my favorite episodes!

[@lauriemillmanrubin50]

Maybe that's why I like you - we are a very intuitive family with some of our background coming from Jewish eastern European, Latvian and Hungarian, as well as indigenous Mohawk Kanewake - my Hungarian mother was not only intuitive but also read yes leaves; myfather and his brother's daughter are also very intuitive. I have taken workshops for psychic mediumship and shamanism to improve my awareness of my ability - my daughter, son, and my daughter's daughter are highly intuitive. Your mother's story struck a similar note - I am connected to my adult daughter so much, that when she had a c- section 12 stories above us where we were waiting for hours, I felt and knew exact time the baby was removed from her body!

[@amyt3949]

This is the episode I didn't know I needed. I feel like an old soul; I'm also deeply empathic and a twin. I feel like there are different things that we cannot quantify, yet I'm also a realist and at times cynical. The melting pot of the human experience, in a Bevisode. Thank you everyone this has been enlightening.

[@vitomcsween974]

It's a great pleasure to meet your mom Mayim, even if it's not in person

[@danielafurlan322]

Yes, I do relate to the Old Soul stuff, also having a strong connection with my younger sister....we tell each other we are "Siameses".

Thx Mama Beverly! You’re awesome!

Beverly & Barry Bialik were decades ahead of their time. Wow…They remind me of my own parents.

[@daseinclaire8364]

Dr. Bialik inspires me to become a better person, a woman that can inspire women. I love you Mam

[@kathrynsamuelson1983]

Being connected to other peoples emotions is called being an empath. If so, it would be good to learn to clear these other people's emotions and energies.

[@TeseTill]

Well, you teased that enough that **I** want to hear Jonathan's 'story'......

Me too. I want a Jonathan episode. 🤞

[@stephanieatkins8617]

Yes!

[@dporter-gage9907]

Love Bev and her Bevisode!! She is a phenomenal human being. Her students were so lucky to have her as a teacher. She could only have given birth to Mayim. Your parents created another phenomenal human being. Thank you for sharing your story. So cool!!

[@isaacsac5]

We need and episode with Jim Parsons on it.

[@carolineonline2112]

I DARE anyone to watch a “Bevisode” with Mayim’s mom Beverly and not absolutely fall in love with this remarkable woman! 😊❤️😊❤️😊

[@erickahidalgo3144]

I love how humble all this 3 people are as well as open minded,Mayim being a scientist has more of a “ahh I dunno “ attitude and I luv it too , she is not nasty about it either.

[@LynnS971]

For lack of a better term, I referred to this in our family as Hungarian gypsy (my mother’s family is all Hungarian). My maternal grandmother, my mother, myself and my daughter are/were all very intuitive and could sense or feel things before it happened.

[@m_brokenleg]

I’m going to send to Bev & Mayim (though I feel that the only one using it if so is Jonathan) my T-shirt. I’ts pinted there in my Catalan language “We’re the grandaughters of the witches you were not able to burn” regarding to the thousand of wise women, mystical ones, healers, empathic women with special spiritual powers that infamous Spanish Inquisition burnt alive as witches in Catalonia, fearing that their powers threatened the patriarchy & Church ruling powers. I myself, not being from Hungarian but Catalan origin, had experienced three times in my life as Bev felt with her arm and her mom. Twice it were not serious accidents (one on head by sport practice, another a car crash) of two beloved ones. I felt that sonething were not going well sonehow..The third, but the first one in my experience, were in my late teens, when suddenly I felt as if my back neck hurt immensely without reason. I was feeling in Barcelona the sudden death by a bike crash of my beloved uncle Juan in Michigan, US. The cause of the death as autopsy told us were a fracture & medula section of the axis level due to helmet pressure. One hour later, my aunt Maureen called notifying us her husband’s death. I felt myself threatened and overwhelmed by this then. Witchery? Of course not. It must be the science’s part we still don’t know. The still unknown powers of our magnificent brain and of those people, maybe because being more empathic or feeling more intensely than others, who are able “to feel” them. As the feeling of “having been there before” to a place you’ve never been... Or maybe I am too an “old soul” as Mayim says, and not only because I’m a soon-to-be young grandma...😉. But one thing I’m certain of: Had I lived in the late Middle Age and Renaisance eras in my country, and I’d had ended on the 🔥bonfires... But in these days I ended at a creative proffession as architect is that needs deep connections with people who are clients. Just curious, right? Thank you Beverly, Mayim and Jonathan for this precious gems 💎that are all and everyone of the #BialikBreakdown #Bevisodes (Google TT by the way💜!!)

[@erikadetlof8388]

I’m very in tune with my surroundings…I’ve sensed something major happening many times & incredibly intuitive. It’s unreal, yet mind boggling.

Mayim you were my favorite character as Amy from the Big Bang theory and I was so impressed when I learned that you were also a neurobiologist in real life 😍 especially after spending some years in therapy and generally being interested in psychology and all that. I have been following you on and off for some years, I like listening to your thoughts and professional insights but only after I saw you had a talk with dr. Máté Gábor (whom I didn't know before I saw that video :O so thank you for that as well, he is so inspirational and loveable) I heard that you had Hungarian ancestors ♥ now I feel connected to you even more 🥰 there is little chance you see this but I send you my greetings and love from Hungary 🇭🇺 ♥ ☺

I have always felt a connection to Mayim, now I know why.

It’s a “ paradigm” shift. “Pair of dimes”= paradigm. “Pair a dime”. Meaning God, the Creator of the universe is letting you know that a paradigm shift is coming in you and your daughter’s life.

Another lovely episode with your mom, Mayim. Thank you! I did want to hear your mom's thoughts on the Moshe Kasher episode though. It's been my fave so far. Love what you're doing ❤️

[@williamclaybrook4182]

Ok, what do I start off with. The phrase " inappropriately connect with people's emotions" hit home to me so hard. My face turned stark white and two people asked if I was ok. I don't know what to do with that information but finally it was correctly assigned a label made me feel a bit better. Second the concept of indigo children was brought up to me also, but I'm 53 and by hearing different people talk about this subject. I thought they had explained it to the point of crystal children came in generational sets. I am an empath. I do feel and just know about people's feelings and had spent most of my life trying to help and make others happy. Topping it all off, when you live in the deep south, speaking about stuff like this sends you to the crazy ward really quick. Always enjoy your show Thanks for doing this.

[@beeg693]

You both have an interesting show, so I will keep listening in and watching. Along the lines of Bev sharing about the connection with her mom having a stroke, there is a book. The book titled, "Does the soul survive by Rabbi Elie Kaplan Spitz. He has stories about people having connection feelings or knowing about someone either died or was about to. Regarding feeling energy, I found doing Chi Gong practice of siting in a chair with palms facing each other. Sit up straight, elbows bent forward with palms about a foot apart. Focus on the middle of both palms where your ring fingers can touch the middle of your palm. Close your eyes and move your palms in and out as if you have a beach ball between your hands. I will hopefully get a Jewish meditation book Mayim recommend by Aryeh Kaplan. I have Hungarian heritage as well, but I get more things from dreams. There are other gifts too. I am very open to those things.

[@HarrietLouis]

So many topics discussed that I can relate to. I do believe that I am an empath and I also have some experiences where I've known or had a sense of things before it transpires. Enlightening to hear other people's experiences and it definitely leads me to believe there are still so much that we don't know. I hope that in our lifetime significant progress will be made in demystifying these experiences.
