Chelsea Handler On How to Accept Your Mistakes and Make Drastic Changes!

Chelsea Handler (comedian, television host, bestselling author) opens up about her transformative journey, from her powerful lessons on sisterhood learned from a tense meeting with Jane Fonda to the moment she realized her tough exterior was holding her back. Mayim breaks down her latest book, “I’ll Have What She’s Having” and Chelsea’s dating history, including her break-up with Jo Koy. Chelsea reveals how confronting deep-rooted anger fueled by childhood grief led her to therapy and spirituality, giving her the strength to evolve and embrace new forms of healing. Plus, she shares how turning 50 has reshaped her perspective on life, relationships, and finding freedom in saying "no"—a life-changing shift that’s led her to enjoy the freedom of not having kids while still embracing the joys of being a "stepmom" to many. --- CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Intro 05:40 - Jane Fonda Taught Chelsea about Sisterhood 18:51 - Chelsea’s Relationship with Drugs 21:16 - Finding Therapy 25:14 - Chelsea's Emotional Maturation Journey 28:05 - Chelsea's Dating History & Recent Breakup 38:25 - How Chelsea Stays Present 44:37 - Not Having Children: Freedom to Help Others 1:03:17 - Happy 50th Birthday, Chelsea!!! --- Listen on our website: https://www.bialikbreakdown.com​​ Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6TgOe2poCdpZtQwKetQmU1 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mayim-bialiks-breakdown/id1546456269 Check out our Merch: https://shop.bialikbreakdown.com/ Sign up for our Newsletter: https://www.bialikbreakdown.com​​ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bialikbreakdown/ Find Mayim Bialik: https://www.facebook.com/MissMayim/​​​ https://www.twitter.com/MissMayim/​​​ https://www.instagram.com/MissMayim/​​​ https://www.tiktok.com/@mayimbialik Find Chelsea Handler: Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ChelseaHandler Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChelseaHandler Chelsea Handler’s newest book, I’ll Have What She’s Having: https://www.chelseahandler.com/book Chelsea Handler’s podcast, the Dear Chelsea Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dear-chelsea/id1563085598 Chelsea Handler's Las Vegas Residency, Chelsea at The Chelsea: https://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/1048344?venueId=189310 Theme Song Written, Produced, and Performed by Ed Robertson.
