  • Cheyenne Jackson's journey began as a closeted musical-loving kid in a tiny town in Idaho. He has gone on to star in 7 Broadway shows and a myriad of film and TV projects. He's currently co-starring as Mayim's love interest in their new Fox show Call Me Kat. In this episode, Cheyenne opens up and shares touching stories on how sobriety helped him define his path as he navigated depression, anxiety, and addiction.

    My love for Cheyenne just grew exponentially after this interview. He lay himself bare and shared his amazing journey. And despite his success he's so humble and just so sweet.
    Also, this episode just proved why Mayim is a queen in the LGBTQA+ community with the way she defended Cheyenne about playing the role of Max.
    Another wonderful episode, thank you Mayim and Jonathan 💕

      "Mayim Bialik's Breakdown" is awesome. I know "Call Me Cat" is wonderful but "Mayim Bialik's Breakdown" is equally critical! However, "Mayim Bialik's Breakdown" needs to be expanded and simulcast on Bravo or mainstream (with a TV rating of PG-14 or Mature) So that the conversation can maintain its richness and continue to be filled with depth and bypass the "false television sheen dance" This experience and level of expertise needs a full (daily or at the very least weekly) exposure to a mass audience somewhere.
      Because, it is so honest and engaging and filled with depth. (No Disrespect) Mayim is the Doctor that Doctor Phil McGraw wishes he could fulfill the perspective of on television.
      She is genuine without bombast or snark; nor is she passive aggressive with an overarching sense of look at my knowledge base; none of that. Instead, she looks at the truth, beauty, and the honor in each individual circumstance and life story. Please generally consider this suggestion, I hope it happens. Thanks - John Collins

      Just catching up here. Interesting to see that I'm not the only one whose mind went to food to relate to Jackson's description of the obsession of the alcoholic. It is hard for me to eat and socialize because I am obsessed like that with the food. "Why aren't they eating that? How do they just carry on a conversation like there's not food sitting there?" I have to have rules about food. Clearing the table is helpful.

    What an incredible chat with Cheyenne. He was so open and honest. On the ADHD discussion, I was diagnosed at 50. A lot of times, women aren’t diagnosed because they don’t present with the hyperactivity aspect of ADHD. My counsellor used the glasses example when explaining how medication can work for some people - that all of a sudden they see the world more clearly. Also, many people who are diagnosed as adults have developed their own coping mechanisms. I totally get the overwhelm of too much busyness and noise. My non-ADHD friends don’t get it, but it can be a lot. It’s good to see that people are talking about adult diagnosis and about medications being okay (there are many different kinds - not everything works for everyone). There are SO many co-morbidities with ADHD, as well as there being such a wide variety of symptoms, no wonder it’s difficult to diagnose. And there isn’t a ‘medical test’ you can take that will provide a conclusive answer. This was the first of your podcasts I’ve listened to. Can’t wait to check them all out! Thanks for being you! Nice to see (and hear) that you’re hanging out with a fellow Canadian! Hi Jonathan, from Halifax, Nova Scotia. 👋🏼

    I will never be able to choose a favorite. All of these are brilliant and helpful and funny. I second all the folks who assert we feel a kinship and want to hang out with Mayim. This podcast is a silver lining of COVID closure.

    I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and took meds; I was amazed on how other people see the world. I was able to get so much more work done. I stopped taking it when my new insurance caused my copay to be utterly ridiculous.

    I had the very same experience in Surrey, B.C. Canada. I came out at about the same time in my life and felt all the same feelings. We were Christian Centre Academy. Unfortunately, I didn't have Cheyenne's talent or looks. haha. All ended well after I got sober and my parents ended up being my best friends. Thanks Cheyenne.

    I found this podcast a few days ago. Goodness. This resonated with me so much. I have been married for 18 years to my husband. An American fundamental Christian who turned his back on the church. We live in London. Met on business when he was here. Obviously.
    I started drinking a little too much a few years ago. I know this. Need to stop. There is an age gap of 14 years between us. Me being older. However, I am so in love with him and he with me but feel that there is nowhere to go now. I have had 8 days without drinking. Only 8 but it is a start. Here is to many more. Thank you Mayim and Cheyenne.

    Again Mayim, bless you for your passion, insight, and wisdom. Cheyenne, so much of what you shared touched me and brought back much of what I went through growing up in the church. The pearl that will stay with me is "You're only as sick as your secrets"...truth. Thank you both.

    Wow. I went to the same church as your brother for a while. The abuse was crippling for me and I'm just now starting to piece myself together. Thank you for speaking about it. Sometimes it's easy to think it's all in your own head, but knowing it was a shared experience is helpful.

    This podcast always makes my day and listening to Mayim and Jonathan in the beginning and end is the best. Mayim is always so sweet and appreciative of all her guest stars and it is so amazing to see that. Thank you so much Cheyenne for sharing your story. It makes me so grateful when people share their stories as it helps so much people and not only that but shares light so someone who doesn't go through it can get an understanding which is incredible. Love this podcast and can't wait for next week

    Every week I tune in so that you, Mayim, can explain me to myself, and each week I am not disappointed. I experience all the same kinds of things that you describe, except I never realized that other people didn't experience the world as I do. A couple weeks ago I learned from you and Bill Prady for the first time about Sensory Overload and now that I KNOW, what it looks like, how I respond when it is happening, and (often for me most importantly) WHY it happens, I suddenly have control over it! I thank you and my children thank you, and you know why. :) This week you described how adult ADHD feels for you, something I experience in the exact same way you described but have been confused about my entire life. It is just about the filters, and I don't have any, plain and simple. I can't filter out visual stimulus, sounds, smells, touch, or other people's emotions and it is hard to live this way. I can't wait to find out how my life changes with this new information. The only part about my brain that you haven't explained yet is how my dyslexia plays into the mix with my HSP, ADHD, and empathic nervous system. I hope you have a Dyslexic friend you can bring on the podcast!

    Im starting ADHD medication as an adult this week... thank you for talking about this.... My doctor asked a lot of questions where I found out I'd had put in all these coping mechanisms in to handle something I didn't even know I was doing!
    So much of what you talked about your experiences with ADD are very similar to mine! Looking at a menu is so overwhelming I always order the same thing or the same thing as someone else cause I can't look at it without feeling overwhelmed!

    Good morning Mayim. I love Breakdown so much, I searched and found, and am in the process of watching, every TH-cam video you have done. You are so insightful in all of your observations and conversations. I just really appreciate it. With respect to this morning's episode, the way you talked about recovery bothered me a bit and I needed to let you know. I am a recovering alcoholic who has not had a drink for 31 years (I am 54). I do not attend meetings and am not part of an organized program. That does not make my sobriety any less real than someone who does attend a program and, quite honestly, when you talked about there being a difference between being sober and being dry it sounded like you were making a judgment of value. I am sure that is not what you intended, but I was hurt by that. I stopped drinking when I was 22 years old because I recognized myself to be an alcoholic. I was living in San Francisco then and did try to go to a couple of AA meetings. At the time I was also still struggling with accepting myself as a gay man so I specifically chose to go to gay-specific AA meetings. My experience was horrible. Every meeting I went to was filled with people talking about how their T-cell counts were 7 and that they had buried three loved ones the prior week (this was in the late 80's/early 90's). I felt guilty for being there because well geez, I just drank too much. I knew that I needed to stop drinking so I called a number of friends (some of whom were in recovery themselves) and asked their permission to reach out to them at any time or any day were I to need support. I set up my own network. At the same time I did this, I also introduced the topic into my therapy sessions and began working on it there too. Over the past 31 years I have worked hard at my sobriety and worked with others on theirs. I heard you when you said that certain programs have different definitions for being "sober" versus being "dry," but as long as you stop ingesting whatever substance(s) that was exacerbating the problem and work on resolving the underlying issues (after all, substance abuse is most often a symptom of some deeper underlying issue), then that, I believe, is what makes someone on the road to recovery. I know you were just doing a short definition of the word "recovery," and that it was not meant to be all-inclusive, but I felt it important to let you know how even that short explanation could have a huge, and in this case somewhat negative, impact on your viewers. That is obviously never your goal. Thanks for listening. And thank you even more for caring enough to even broach these subjects. You are quite a special individual.
