Mayim Bialik—actor, neuroscientist, and author, who is best known for her role in “The Big Bang Theory”—takes a break to present listeners with her latest title. Bialik’s tone holds a sincere note as she moves from factual and scientific to honest and vulnerable in the blink of an eye as she openly addresses girls about the challenges and triumphs of becoming a woman. While navigating a variety of topics, some easier to chat about than others, Bialik remains forthright and trustworthy, never skipping a beat as she moves from exposition to personal memories. Though many topics would seem to call for an earnest tone, Bialik brings her sense of humor into the mix, encouraging laughter and maintaining a lightheartedness that her young listeners are sure to appreciate.
