Top 5 Ways to Thrive Not Survive! How Meditation, Somatic Work & Building Interpersonal Trust Can Dramatically Improve How You Feel Each Day w/ Dan Harris
Exclusive Substack Release! We originally posted this episode to our Substack Breakers ONLY and we thought it was time we shared with YOU! Subscribe at bialikbreakdown.substack.com for more exclusive content like this and more!
We sat down with our friend Dan Harris (author of 10% Happier, journalist, and meditation teacher) for a raw, unscripted conversation about anxiety, meditation, and what it really means to live with more calm and connection.
What began as Mayim confessing her nerves quickly unfolded into an exploration of habit formation, the messy reality of meditation practice, and why "success" doesn’t mean never feeling anxious again. Dan shared personal stories of facing claustrophobia, panic on planes, and the unexpected childhood memories that surfaced through brainspotting and therapy. Jonathan weighed in on consciousness, body memory, and the ways stress embeds itself in us—and how practices like EMDR or somatic work can help release it.
The conversation didn’t stop there. We also touched on:
We hope this live encourages you to judge yourself a little less, and lean on others a little more.
