- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- Alison Desir, athletic activist and counselor, blurs the line between mind and body through the integration of two of her passions: community based mental health and running. Mayim and Alison examine how running has fit into each other’s lives and how it has provided a meaningful coping mechanism to deal with life’s many stressors. Alison ends her segment with an amazing discussion on the black experience in the United States and how empowering exercise can be for black and brown communities!

Wow! 2 episodes in a week! Thank you, Mayim and Jonathan! ♥️
What is behind Mayim that makes her look like she has antennae? It's hard to focus on the discussion.
@@MargaretJEllis i think those are plants. Just happened to be on a weird position that it makes it look like she has antennae.
During difficult times like these, Your podcast are just outstanding and wonderful to watch. I really enjoy all the guests that you bring on your podcast! Thank you so much Mayim!
YAY! a second episode...thank you so much Mayim and Jonathan 🥰
As someone who also had to change my father's diapers and watch him deteriorate when I was still in college, I can definitely relate to her. She's a powerhouse and is inspiring me to try running more!
Awesome! Yes, Mayim and Alison, you are "a woman who's lived a lot of life"! You all seem like fun! Let's hang out, again, next week. Thanks!
I already "like" the videos before I watch them. Thank you Mayim and Jonathan! ✌️😃
This was uploaded like 4 am. It was the first thing I saw this morning. Great 👍 start to my day!!! So motivational.
What is it about people that are so motivational just in their presence alone 🤔🤩🤩🤩🥳🥳🥳
Thanks
Heyyy Mayim…it’s Ann from New Brunswick Canada. I’m a live-in caregiver for my 91 year old mom in her home. It is a challenge half of the time. But I’ll always love her. My dad died Dec 30,2013.
Wow! I love Alison and her journey. I ran the Toronto marathon, and lived to tell about it...which was my goal, and hardly ever had to think about what I would wear, where I would run or what I would do should I meet a police officer during my training. Alison’s description of running black was not shocking to me but it certainly did highlight the sad differences in our experience of marathon preparation.
An Atalanta reference from Mayim? Free to Be You and Me was my FAVORITE record as a kid. Still have it to this day....such great, timeless messages for humanity; taught me so much about how to be tolerant. I wish it would be reissued for the new generations of families.
Yay another podcast thank you Mayim and another rainy day watching #BialikBreakdown with a glass of wine what more do u need , hope you are ok Mayim stay safe , I ❤️ you xx
Another fantastic episode 😍 thank you and the second this week! ❤️
I'm so looking forward to a show with Jim Parsons....!!!!
Yes
Awakening from a regional anesthesia from my basal cell leg’s skin cancer and still a few dopped..THIS IS THE BEST GIFT!💜 Who wants flowers 💐having a Mayim & Jonathan’s new #bialikbreakdown episode? I’ll view it later..when being fully “myself” & strong again (and nurses let me alone...) and if so will comment! THANK YOU!
Aw wishing you a great recovery and hope you feel better soon.
@@ellietrotta8626 Thanks! 💜
I really enjoyed this conversation
I was thinking the same thing when she first popped up on the screen.... What a beautiful smile!!
Thank you for touching on post partum depression; I felt after having my children that I was just "supposed to be" happy, and no one in my generation was willing to talk about my problem. This is real, but we don't talk about the rough stuff.
2 in the same week?! I checked the notifications to see if there was a Bevisode and found this one!
Bevisode came out today!
@@adriannenash9852 Just saw it!! great as usual!
Lately, I have been keeping my sanity by running laps for 40 minutes (5km-ish) on my rooftop while listening to Mayim's Breakdown. Today I ran 10km through this entire episode. Listening to both of your story and every individual guest has been very therapeutic for me. Thank you Mayim, Jonathan and all the guests before and in the future
This is to Jonathan: How about making a drink joke every time “late bloomer” Mayim appears at an episode? With all my love to Mayim 💜, from a 5’ 6’ once late bloomer here, now an average woman too! 🍻🍺
i did cross country when i was in college. once I had a good ranking (vice champion of Provence in Marseille🙂) I like the race and the freedom that it provides. Now I rarely run but I dance 😁. 100,000,000 thanks for this gem of an episode
This was so great 😀!! I ran a lot in my life and forgot the mental, spiritual benefits!! ❤️👍🥰😘
Thank you for being a place for open discussion,love it ,love it,love it!!!!
Thank you for this episode & conversation! Thank you to Alison for her work & sharing her story with us
Im way too distracted by that boba tea on the piano without a coaster. Why am i like this? 😅Im excited for this episode tho.
Same here, is going to stain the piano....
I saw that too. Maybe she has super wax on the surface so nothing can harm.
What about whatever's behind her head to make her have horns? Oh, maybe that was w/Mathews?
Helping people identify their power. I love that. She’s incredible. Thank you 👏👏🙏✌️🧡
I think running really helps with staying in good shape and i’m not just talking about physical shape but also mentally 😊. I see it in my dad, he turned 89 in February and running does that for him. One time he had to stop for a while because he had a surgery and that month was hell for him. Going for a run 6 days a week it’s therapeutic for my dad, and still goes to 5k and 10k competitions💖
The iphone screenshot of your “calves striptease” and your face then, made my hospital day surgery’s recovery perfect! 💜💜
Omg you posted 2 podcasts in one week!!!! Also this is beautifulllll
Hi Mayim! i'm new to your channel. i so love your podcast. it helps me heal. and also, i've just finished TBBT. I so sooo love youu omg
Oh my gosh, Alison seems like an amazing person and I bet she is a wonderful therapist!!!! Another great interview, Mayim!!! Thank you.
Running with Mayim and Johnathan it doesn't get better than that.
She is speaking my truth
THANK YOU Alison and Mayim (and Jonathan! my second favourite Canadian)! Such an amazing episode. Hits really close to home.
I appreciate this Podcast and this episode especially. I check the box with Alison on so many levels and she is inspiring to me. I am sending this episode out to many of my Haitian family and friends.
So much love for Alison! Really great job, Mayim as always!!❤️
Awsome interview!! Definately have her back shes amazingggg. Thanx Mayim and Johnathan
This was such a great episode!! I loved the way Alison talked about everything she talked about it. She was amazing to listen to and was just overall aesthetically pleasing as a human. Loved loved loved this episode. Also really appreciate that Mayim is just chilling in her pajama pants that were super cute. Thank you all for putting these episodes out there and speaking so honestly and freely. Love to all.
This woman impresses me so much
Thursday episode?! Be still my ❤️❤️❤️
Yay! A new Mayim video. Hello!
I LOVE that you two are together ❤️
A new podcast!! yayyy
Another incredible interview. You guys have a hit on your hands.
Wow, I loved this one, what a beautiful person!
So happy when I got the TH-cam notification for a new episode today 💖
I ran cross counter in high school and ran a half marathon over 10 years ago. I really enjoyed it but stopped running to pursue other activities and this podcast really is giving me the itch to run again! Perfect timing because we finally have some decent weather on the East coast. ☀️🕶
Thank you for talking about the caregiving aspect. My husband has Parkinson's, and as a person with anxiety and depression, this is really hard for me. It's hard to talk about this with "normies" who think it should be easy, etc. I love my guy, and I'm doing it, but most days I don't like it and want our old life back.
Loved this episode so much. This podcast has amazing guests and incredible co hosts which makes this podcast worth listening to and makes it so so enjoyable. I think so much important things were said in this episode and to have this podcast is so helpful and wonderful. I love this podcast and this episode so so much and Thank you to every single one of you for this episode. I always look forward to every episode and it makes me so happy when I know another episode is out.
This was such a lovely conversation.
Every time I watch I think you are both so awesome. I do want to say also that Jonathan is such a sweet and funny guy. He complements you and is the perfect partner in this amazing podcast. Kudos to you both. Thank you so much for your efforts.
Hi guys. I LOVE your podcast sooo much. Used to look forward to new episode every week. Now u make 2!!!!amazing. Your doing such a great job. Always very interesting topics people know (or talk) not enough about and great guests!
Thank u!!!
We've all pooped ourselves if ya think about it. Ha. So happy to see this pop up this morning. What a soothing balm. I was a runner when I was younger. I CAN'T EXPRESS HOW COOL THIS IS!
"talk more about my proportions" is a line that cannot go unnoticed.
Great episode. I love to run. I’m 58 years and my adult children are 32 and 30 now. My deliveries were awful and my recovery was long but there was not a lot of resources for help. I guess I worked through it, but I really enjoyed your discussion on having a baby. Keep up the great discussions.
I really appreciate hearing women's voices. Media favors the male perspective, and it get tiresome and boring.
Heyy mayimmm!!! I just finished watching TBBT! It’s awesome and I love your character Amy! I relate soo much to it! I’m 13 years old and I love science too, I wanna pursue it in the field of chemistry! Thank you soo much for motivating us! You are awesome!Tbbt❤️ I just can’t stop crying about it’s end.
Hats off to Allison!!!
Kismet. This auto started when I got on the treadmill to embrace running again after 15 years. 🤩 Thank you!
Looks like you have horns? Lol Thank you for another good podcast..👏👏👏
Allison is awesome!!
As someone that worked in the psych field, dealt with postpartum anxiety, and was a runner: this episode checked all my boxes. I broke vertebrae during a restraint with a client in the hospital, and since then I have had a hard time with physical fitness. It took many years to get to the point I am. However, I still wish my body would just bounce back. As women we hold ourselves to this ridiculous standard. Great episode.
I keep thinking to myself "I think this is my favorite one so far..." and they keep getting better.
Hi Mayim, love your podcasts. :) I was wondering if you could do an episode on the effects adoption/fostercare has on our mental health please. Either way I'd like to say thank you for your podcasts. They are helping me so much to understand and to learn new ways of coping with my own mental health. Love from the UK. Amber
This Has Been An Amazing Episode, Mayim. So Attuned To Political, Cultural & Social Awareness Of Current Life, Not Only In The USA, But In The United Kingdom...Where I’m From. Thank You. Btw, I Too Started Running About 10 Years Ago & Found How Freeing & Emotionally Uplifting It Was. The Pandemic Has Interrupted It Bec I Cannot Run With a Mask On.🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️
Hi mayim and Johnathan
All love from India❤️
So interesting loved this x
Just want to let people know in case you are thinking about getting them, I talk about Rothy's with the same excitement as Mayim! Lol I also love their tote bag that is also washable!!!!
Wow!
Such an interesting episode. Very sad all that a Black runner must take into account. Her statement that Black people have never been able to move freely was very sobering. We should all do everything we can to change that.
😄 when mayim was talking about why she liked going to the same college for all 12 years and said ".......i know where my favorite snacks are....." it brought back memories of one semester when i had 2 hours between classes, so i'd go to this little cozy lounge area and get my vending machine dinner consisting solely of potato chips and chocolate cupcakes (no lie!) park my butt on a couch and watch general hospital. those were the days 🤣 🤣 🤣
Horray for Seattle!
Have Mayim and Johnathan done a break down of their relationship? It's not clear to me how much they know each other. It would help my head to understand this wonderful dynamic that makes up the show. Sometimes I get the vibes that they grew up together other times not so much :). I feel like they probably connected through some facets of a mental health journey and it would make for an interesting breakdown.
As a former skateboarder, my left calf is bigger than my right
Mayim if you and Jonathan haven’t seen it, you’d love a documentary called “The First Basket,” about the Jewish basketball stars in the early years of the NBA. Not kidding.
I have two Masters and will definitely take a PhD or even an EdD. And hey, most of us want to be like you Mayim. Just saying.
"all legs" -- Two of the girls in the youth group I mentored were the same height standing, but when they'd sit down, one was 4 inches taller than the other. One was all legs.
🏃♀️ 🏃♂️ this a good moment to vent on how there are no dark hair or dark skin running emojis! Smh 🤷🏻♀️
🏃🏾♀️🏃🏿♀️🏃🏿♂️🏃🏾
I would love to see you interview Tommy Orange. There are not a lot of interview with Native Americans and our struggles. Our culture is usually treated as a cultural of mythology and not one still active today.
Johnathon is adorable! I am only 5 feet tall and my legs are like 32 inches! All legs and a Barbara Streisand nose until I grew into the nose!
Can postpartum depression last for years? My son is 2 and I still feel crazy. No insurance so yoga and meditation are the only help I've been able to get myself.
Is it true that Columbia University denies anyone, while on campus, to throw strike-out signs at each and/or one another?
love your pijamas tho! lol
Anybody else distracted by the plant behind Mayim's head? It's just in the wrong place :)
So can I have Postpartum depression if my “baby” is 39 years old? And still lives at home, where we care for his 4 year old son 4 days a week, and I resent that I can’t have time for myself?
Well, when we get tired of being sick & tired, we'll do something about it.
Mayim, love you and your podcast...but that picture on the wall behind you...could you please straighten it?
Great episode as usual! Jonathan, you're supposed to have Mayim's back... Need to get rid of the plant in the window behind Mayim's head. Currently she's growing horns every episode and it doesn't suite her sweet demeanour... And I'm so distracted🤗
This is a little off topic oh and trying to think about how to word this word is it offensive to both parties but I wish you would get a hold off McCurdy off iCarly and have a broadcast with You two talking
💕💕💕💕💕
Running is killer on the knees.
I’m was a stick growing up & tall

Please don’t tell pregnant ladies to stop (running/exercising) when pregnant. It is generally safe and encouraged to continue any physical activity in which you have been engaged previously during pregnancy if you check with your doctor first.

"Running while black".....Sounds like a black Congressman!!!!
👍

@@liahtomlinson2105 not much liah, what about yourself?
Physical & chemical makeup speak volumes
😊😀👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My Dad called me chicken legs😆
