ANECDOTE

Coma After Terminal Lymphoma

Anita describes extreme physical decline from lymphoma: severe weight loss, fluid-filled lungs, and golf-ball sized tumors across her body.
She stopped breathing and went into a coma on February 2, 2006, while doctors told family she had hours to live.

ANECDOTE

Running Away Before An Arranged Wedding

Anita recounts being groomed for an arranged marriage, then running away three days before the wedding with her mother's support.
That escape was a pivotal assertion of autonomy that shaped her later life choices.

INSIGHT

Illness As Permission To Self-Care

When Anita first received a lymphoma diagnosis she felt relief that she could finally prioritize her own care and say no to others.
That reaction signaled she had been living out of alignment long before illness appeared.

Cancer Put Her in a Coma. She Survived. Her Near Death Experience Changed Everything.

Mayim Bialik's Breakdown delves into Anita Moorjani’s (renowned author, TedX speaker & self-help spiritual speaker) mind-blowing near-death experience (NDE) story and how it completely transformed her cancer, her path to healing & spiritual awakening, and how it changed the way she viewed life after death.

Before her miraculous cancer recovery, Anita opens up like never before about the emotional toll of escaping an arranged marriage, her belief that neglecting her own needs while caring for others may have contributed to her cancer, and why living out of alignment with your true self can be toxic (and even deadly). Her integration journey post-NDE wasn’t easy. Friends and family treated her like the same person — but she had touched something far greater than this world, and she couldn’t go back.

Anita Moorjani also breaks down:

- Her belief that heaven is not a place, but a state of being

- How we’re all eternally connected — past, present, and future

- Why intuition, self-love, & authenticity are the real medicine we've all been missing

- How you’re likely manifesting wrong

- How Ayurveda and naturopathic healing deeply resonated with her healing journey

- Difference between unconditional love (the kind people experience during NDEs) and earthly love

- Why deepening your intuition starts with radical self-confidence

- How letting go of what isn’t authentically you is the key to ultimate healing

This is not just a story about cancer — it's a wake-up call about life, death, spiritual awakening and the power of living as your truest self. Tune in to MBB now if you’ve ever felt stuck, afraid, disconnected, or if you’ve ever wondered what really happens after we die.
