Taylor Lautner
When life gives you lemons, what do you do with them? Over here at The Squeeze—we talk about it—"it" being our mental health and well being. Host Taylor Lautner's (no, not that guy, but she is married to that guy) introduction to mental health was at a young age, witnessing friends and family suffer in ways she couldn't fully understand. She started a nursing career in the peak of the pandemic and has been struggling with her own mental health ever since. Tay is joined co-host, husband Taylor Lautner, in addition to celebrity and expert guests to further the conversation surrounding mental wellness. At the end of the day, we're all pretty similar; even those living in the lime-est of lights can be weighed down by sour lemons. In addition to sharing coping strategies and stories, we hope that above all, this podcast offers the comfort of knowing you are not alone.
Tay & Tay Lautner: Socks, Crocs, and Jealousy?
Socks, crocs, and jealousy, oh my! This week’s solo episode covers everything under the lemon tree as your hosts answer your questions! First, they recap their first Lemons Foundation gala, sharing how it truly could not have gone better and the importance of hosting it on a rooftop. They talk about how quickly this year has flown by and Megan Fox’s new poetry book (and one poem in particular that really had them thinking) before diving into Tea Time with Tay(s). They talk about jealousy, fame, dating, outside opinions on their relationship, and who they would be most starstruck to meet.

The Monroe Family: Jared Can Still Save Lives
TW: suicide, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, substance abuse
If you or someone you know is at risk of suicide, please call the Lifeline: 988
When your hosts first started this podcast, they knew they wanted to have today’s guests on the show. Harlie and Robin Monroe, sister and mother of Tay’s high school friend Jared, join the Lautners today to discuss the heartbreaking events that led to Jared taking his life and their foundation, The Jared Monroe Foundation, which supports students with bipolar disorder. They go back to the very beginning, when the family adopted Jared, discuss his marijuana use, which acted as a major trigger for his diagnosis, and share details on the various manic episodes he endured. They talk about their unique grief journeys, the importance of having a community around you, and offer words of encouragement to Tay, saying just how proud her friend Jared would be of what she’s doing today.

Kenzie Ziegler: No Closure, Just Getting Older
Singer, dancer, and former reality star Kenzie Ziegler joins the Lautners to discuss navigating success and pressure from an incredibly young age. She shares the toll that reality TV took on her childhood and how it caused her to lose her passion for dance. Kenzie explains how she couldn't differentiate between reality and what was manufactured for the show, and shares the advice she would offer a production team tackling a reality show centered around children. She attributes her mental health struggles to the show, and shares with your hosts when she first discovered she was suffering from anxiety. She opens up about her relationship with social media, which she has navigated since the age of eight, and how she has grown to become more private, allowing less of the negativity to affect her. She also talks about her song Anatomy, her family's reaction to the deeply personal song, who she played it for first, and how cathartic the recording process was. The Lautners had such a great time with Kenzie, and look forward to signing those adoption papers! You can adopt a 19-year-old, right?!

Georgia Hassarati: I’m Not This Person
Our next guest has spent far too much time defending her character, so The Lautners wanted to give her time to show the world who she is, independent of all the noise. In this interview Georgia Hassarati opens up about things she’s never discussed publicly, including what it was like being raised by a single mother with bipolar disorder. She also discusses her career as a midwife; something not many people know about but is a huge passion of hers. She speaks about her experience being cast on Too Hot to Handle, going back to midwifery after wrapping the show, then being launched into the chaos that ensued following her second reality TV appearance on Perfect Match. She shares the boundaries and steps she took to manage her mental health that got her through these experiences and the frenzy of false accusations. Lastly, she offers an update on her dating life and what you can expect to see from her next.

Victor and Libby Boyce: Remembering Cameron and Epilepsy Awareness
This week the Lautners have the honor of sitting down with Victor and Libby Boyce, parents of child star Cameron Boyce, who passed away in 2019 from SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy). They offer an inside look at the incredible life Cameron led and the legacy he left behind. They explain how and when epilepsy became part of their lives and how Cameron wasn’t considered epileptic until his second seizure. This is one of their many frustrations with the medical system, which failed to arm them. Their main message in coming on the podcast today is to take an epilepsy diagnosis seriously. There is a lack of information about epilepsy, despite there being so many different types and it being one of the most common neurological conditions. They were never even informed of SUDEP, the complication that took their son’s life. They talk about The Cameron Boyce Foundation, with the mission of raising awareness of epilepsy, discuss their grieving process, share what the outpouring of love has felt like, and offer advice on what to say to someone who has lost a loved one.
Cameron lives on through his sister, parents, friends, and The Cameron Boyce Foundation. We urge other people of influence to speak out if they suffer from epilepsy, and encourage you to check out the foundation to learn more about the disorder: www.thecameronboycefoundation.org

Harry Hudson: Find Your Music
The man, the myth, the ledge — singer-songwriter and all around incredible human Harry Hudson joins the Lautners today to discuss his cancer journey, the importance of music in his life, and his charity, Hey, I'm Here For You. Harry was diagnosed with cancer the same week he turned 20, and he discusses the existential brain shifts that occurred as he processed his reality and embraced death. He attributes music to saving his life and talks about the intersection of music and mental health when used as a healing tool. He speaks to the psychological toll of being released from the hospital free of cancer and being unsure how to process what you’ve just been through, as well as feeling like he wasn’t allowed to be sad. Harry also lost his father at 23, and shares how, while he embraced death for himself, he wasn’t prepared for it to happen to someone else. Lastly, he talks about the inspiration and mission for his charity, Hey, I’m Here For You, which helps enhance the lives of teens and young adults undergoing cancer treatment.

Tay & Tay Lautner: Find Your Happy Place
We heard you loud and clear Lemon Drops, so we’re bringing you more solo episodes! This week your hosts sit back, relax, and enjoy some tea time with Tay(s). They cover everything (and we mean everything) from friendship bracelets to ferocious turtles. Before they dive into all your questions, they also take a moment to talk about the importance of self-care and the scope of what that really means. It’s not always a spa day—it means truly caring for yourself, even if sometimes, that means having an uncomfortable conversation. Tay opens up about a new self-care strategy from her EMDR therapist, and a moment of insecurity she had at the Eras Tour and how she talked herself through it. Then they answer your burning questions, including which songs from 1989 (Taylor’s Version) they’re most excited for, which The Summer I Turned Pretty boy they’re rooting for, and a funny memory of the two of them that takes them back all the way to their 6-month anniversary. We hope you enjoy this peek at a day with the Lautners!

Solomon Thomas: Hercules is Human Too
TW: suicide
Drafted third overall in 2017, Solomon Thomas knows what it’s like to have a target on his back. His true battles, however, have never been on the field but in trying to dismantle archaic stigmas around mental health while working through the grief of his sister’s suicide. He talks about growing up with his older sister Ella, how close he was to his family, and when they first noticed Ella was struggling. He stresses the importance of checking in on your strong friends and discusses his journey with his own mental health.

Sasha Pieterse: PCOS & Motherhood
*This episode was recorded prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike and our team was given approval by SAG to release it.
Actress Sasha Pieterse joins the Lautners to discuss her journey with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), the entertainment industry, and motherhood. Her and Taylor reminisce on their time filming Shark Boy and Lava Girl together and the multi-generational fan base that continues to this day. Sasha then explains what exactly PCOS is, her battle to be diagnosed, and the miracle that was getting pregnant—not only because PCOS is a huge component of infertility, but because her son then miraculously regulated her hormones. In addition to that, she has also become the most confident she’s ever been from being a mom, with other people’s opinions being so low on her priority list. She discusses why she and her husband suspect they’re “one and done” when it comes to children, and the importance of making her marriage her first priority. Lastly, she discusses where the idea for Women In The Nude, her new podcast, came from. Check it out below!

JP Saxe: I Need a Therapist
TW: addiction, grief and loss
Your hosts are both massive fans of this week’s guest, musician and singer JP Saxe. The episode is full of energy and insight, as JP starts off by inquiring if the Lautners find navigating enmeshment more challenging by their shared name. The three then dive into love and conflict languages and the importance of being malleable to your partners’ styles. JP talks about his childhood, including the blessings he’s discovered from not being popular at a young age and his journey of defining masculinity in his own terms. Taylor also opens up about the struggles he faced when playing Jacob and the pressure he felt to portray a perfect life. The three then discuss feelings of being a burden to your partner, bullying, and being an only child—something girl Tay and JP have in common! JP opens up about growing up in a house suffering from addiction, and explains his journey with loss and grief to Taylor, who has not yet experienced any sort of family loss. He also shares the series of decisions that made him realize it was time to start therapy and the role songwriting has played in his healing journey.

Dr. Sasha: ADHD and Knowing Your Patterns
Dr. Sasha is a psychiatrist specializing in ADHD who has ADHD herself. Today she joins your hosts to discuss her journey with the diagnosis, med school, and becoming a parent. Dr. Sasha breaks down the three hallmark features of ADHD and the various ways they can present themselves. She explains how she stopped taking her medication when she went off to school and felt like she had a stroke as she fell to the bottom of her class—by a lot. Her and her father then dove into ADHD research so she could fully understand what was going on. She explains the shocking gap in the average age of diagnosis between genders, and how people (especially women) can be diagnosed with anxiety or depression in place of ADHD because of their symptoms. She offers advice to parents potentially facing a diagnosis and emphasizes the importance of recognizing your own patterns. She also touches on ADHD and dating/relationships, and discusses her book and ADHD management app to help people with ADHD.

Tay & Tay Lautner: Let’s Go Back to the Beginning
Let’s go back to the beginning (of the podcast and the love story!) with another solo episode where the Lautners offer a look into the beginning of their relationship. Before they get started, Taylor addresses a video he posted on social media about some rude comments he came across and wants to set the record straight on his intention in posting it. They then get into audience questions! The most popular question by far has to do with the reality of a “famous person” dating a “normal person” so your hosts take a deep dive into keeping their relationship private, when they felt ready to go public, Tay’s first introductions to the industry and the first-class lifestyle, and the hardest moment that has resulted from being in a public relationship. They also tackle a few rapid-fire questions, such as if their astrological signs are accurate, who kissed who first, and what Tay’s parents thought of her dating a celebrity! Lastly, Taylor walks us through his proposal-planning process. Let us know what you think of the episode, and if we should do more solo shows in the future!

Emily explains how she and Cam both dealt with the loss and offers advice for others suffering through the same nightmare.

In this episode, the Lautners are joined by #1 podcaster Nick Viall and his fiancée Natalie Joy for an incredibly vulnerable conversation about their relationship and their experience with therapy. First, they discuss their recent visit to NYC, where they recreated their first date, as well as their first impressions of one another and any “red flags" they were cautious of. Natalie, like Tay, works in healthcare (as a surgical technician) and wasn't in the spotlight prior to her relationship with Nick. They discuss the scrutiny that comes from dating someone in the public eye and supporting someone struggling with their mental health. Nick and Natalie also share the value they’ve found in couples therapy to help them stay connected, and Natalie opens up about past traumas resurfacing and her experience with EMDR therapy. Lastly, your hosts ask Nick what it is about his podcast that explains its remarkable success.

Nastia Liukin: A Fall, Not a Fail
Olympic champion Nastia Liukin joins the Lautners to discuss rebuilding yourself after success at a young age and the pressure that comes with competing at the highest level of a sport centered around perfection. Despite being gymnasts themselves, Nastia’s parents tried everything to keep her away from the sport, but her passion and talent were undeniable. Nastia talks about the effects of achieving her “life-long” dream at age 18 and the years trying to find her identity following her “retirement”. She speaks to her 2007 injury and the toll it took on her confidence, as well as falling on her face—a fall she calls the defining moment of her career, and a fall that earned her a standing ovation for the first time. Nastia also discusses her time on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, and talks about the Nastia Liukin Cup, an annual competition offering gymnasts an opportunity to be mentored and to feel proud of their accomplishments—a joy Nastia says shouldn’t be reserved for just the 5 girls on the Olympic team.

Hyram Yarbro: Pain Demands to Be Felt
TW: restrictive eating disorder, self-harm, suicidal ideation
At a quick glance, you may recognize Hyram Yarbro as a skincare influencer, popular on YouTube and TikTok. After today’s conversation, we believe you’ll see him as so much more. Coming from a career in the makeup industry as a skincare specialist, cosmetic salesman, and makeup artist, Hyram had a real grasp on what people were spending their money on, as well as the lack of education for the regular consumer. Today, he opens up about his childhood trauma, including not being accepted by his family for being gay. This experience led him to face mental health challenges, but he is grateful for it nonetheless, as it made him stronger. He explains how his childhood was experienced through a survivalist mindset, and once he finally stepped away, he truly felt the magnitude of his pain. As John Green wrote, “pain demands to be felt.” Hyram also shares what prompted him to start his skincare brand and the importance to him of doing something in the industry that would create a philanthropic affect. His products have a direct and measurable social impact. To date, he has been able to protect over 300, 000 acres of rainforest from deforestation and provide over 8, 000 people with clean water—for 50 years. This conversation radiates with love and kindness, and we hope you will join us in supporting Hyram’s incredible efforts.

Cassie Randolph: Being a Private Public Person
Today’s episode of The Squeeze feels like grabbing coffee with an old friend. Taylor was busy this day so Tay caught up with Bachelor star Cassie Randolph, who she’s actually never met! The Lautners are friends with her sister, Michelle, and knew they’d love Cassie just the same. Cassie opens up about going through such a public breakup, and the two discuss going from living a normal life to being thrust into the public eye. Cassie shares that she was naive going into reality TV, and that social media has been the biggest adjustment for her, hearing mean comments directly, and feeling them personally. She speaks about having her family as her support system after the show, and the denim line she created with her sister, LNDN (named after her brother). She shares her biggest takeaway as a new entrepreneur, and also shares what she’s hoping to do in the field of speech pathology. With this being our 11th episode, the two wrap up by tackling the Lemon 11!

Tanya & Raquelle: The Sunshine Mind (set)
Life’s not all sunshine and roses, but if you work really hard at it, you can tackle any obstacle with a sunshine mindset. Best friends and co-authors Tanya Rad and Raquelle Stevens join the Lautners today to discuss their book, The Sunshine Mind. They share the incredible story of how they met, what sparked the idea for the book, and discuss collaborating on the project. Tanya and Taylor bond over the notion that rejection is sometimes God’s redirection, and Raquelle opens up about finding direction in life, which sometimes simply looks like doing the next right thing. Her favorite word says it best: YOLO—so it’s important to live it to the fullest. We hope today’s conversation inspires you to do just that.

Sadie Robertson Huff: Friend of Fear
At such a young age, today’s guest has already accomplished more than most do in their entire life. Sadie Robertson Huff rose to fame on her family’s reality show, Duck Dynasty, followed by finishing runner-up on Dancing with the Stars. She joins your hosts to discuss her journey battling fear and anxiety. Sadie speaks to the stress of living a hypocritical lifestyle—one where she looks perfect on social media but struggles with herself and her romantic relationship. Knowing God was with her, Sadie began to push back on her fears and went viral with a stripped-down YouTube video showing the world who she really was, "imperfections" and all. Sadie also opens up to the Lautners about motherhood: how it has helped her with things like body image but how new things, like mom guilt, have been challenging. She shares the story behind the name of one of her books and her ministry, Live Original, and then one of our Lemon 11 questions exposes the story behind her podcast name, WHOA That’s Good. For Sadie, so many things in her life changed when she learned to not let fear call the shots. We hope that this episode inspires you to lean into your fear and Live Original — just like Sadie.

Alyson Stoner: Stepping Away from the Industry
Cheaper by the Dozen fans and dancers... this one’s for you. Finally having the chance to reconnect, Taylor introduces Tay to Alyson Stoner, and the two discuss their time working together and growing up in the industry. Alyson explains how there was no way for her to understand the long-term implications as a child, including how parts of her did not get a chance to fully develop. She shares how the industry affected how she understood connection: what became to her a cycle of a deep bond, followed repeatedly by a “deep break”. Tay, our resident optimist, asks Alyson if there is something about the industry she loves, which pivots the conversation to her relationship with dance and movement. She dives into what dance means to her and what she hopes to achieve through Movement Genius, her all in 1 subscription platform that takes care of your mind, body, and emotions. Alyson also speaks to what wellness means to her, and how she’s hoping to offer a space for wellness in the most authentic, inclusive fashion. At the end of this episode, we learn that if Alyson could go back in time, she would alter the course of her life and never have entered the spotlight. Would Taylor do the same? Tune in to find out.

Brandon & Serene: Losing Family and Finding Each Other
Like the rest of America, Tay and Taylor instantly feel in love with Paradise couple Brandon and Serene, and knew they needed to have them on the podcast. This week, they join the Lautners to discuss their mental health before and during filming. Brandon talks about his experience hiring for travel nurse recruiting during COVID, and the toll that took on his mental health. He also opens up about losing a very close friend and his grandfather. While he acknowledges that society encourages men to push down and cover up their feelings, he and the Lautners are here to change that narrative. Serene opens up about the loss of her grandma, aunt, and cousin, and why her 1 on 1 date in Galveston brought up so many emotions. Brandon and Serene also touch on the pressure they feel to stay together and what they do when life hands them lemons … which may be different than you think!

Lindsey Vonn: (Snow) Peaks and Valleys
TW: depression
Olympic champion Lindsey Vonn, one of the most successful female alpine skiers in the history of the sport, joins your hosts today to discuss her mental health journey and her unbelievable longevity in the sport. Lindsey explains that her injuries gave her a renewed perspective each time, and she never felt she worked a day in her life. Of her unparalleled accomplishments, she shares which one meant the most, and talks about her decision to retire, which was ultimately made for her by her body. She speaks to her mental health while she was injured and following her retirement, and the emotional support she finds from her dogs. The three discuss the false notion that success equates to happiness, and your hosts applaud Lindsey for being so open about her depression. Lindsey discusses the Lindsey Vonn Foundation, empowering underserved girls with scholarships and programs, and what’s in store for the future. Lastly, Lindsey tackles the Lemon 11 segment, diving into the dangers of social media, the value of finding the type of therapy that works for you, and, potentially, a dog podcast? We’re in.

Hannah Brown: Opening the Scary Closet
This week your hosts welcome their first guest … Hannah Brown! They kick off the episode with a new segment, Cit-rus (sh*t-just) Got Real, and then dive into Hannah’s experience releasing her book, God Bless This Mess: Learning to Live and Love Through Life’s Best (and Worst) Moments. Hannah explains that the first time she was really asked about her feelings was when she was on The Bachelor, and while that was a great experience for her, being The Bachelorette was much more challenging. Hannah also presents her metaphor of the “scary closet” as she’s working on organizing and processing what has impacted her throughout her life. She talks with the Lautners about intention vs. impact (especially when communicating with your partner), her time on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, and finding her footing in the world of social media. At The Squeeze, we're all about intentional conversation, and Hannah offers just that in today's episode as she opens up about her mental health journey.

Taylor Lautner: Fame is a Drug
TW: body dysmorphia
In this episode, Tay Lautner interviews her husband and co-host, actor Taylor Lautner, as the two discuss growing up in the limelight, body image, and men’s mental health. They touch on Taylor’s hiatus from the entertainment industry and explain why fame felt like a drug to him; one that would be healthier to abstain from, but would be rough before it got better. All of his wife Tay's experiences with mental health struggles prior to her own were with men in her life, so it is important to both of your hosts to destigmatize and openly discuss men’s mental health. In particular, the two touch on body image battles, an issue often attributed to only women, and offer words of encouragement for the men out there struggling. Lastly, Taylor tackles the Lemon 11 segment, during which he opens up about his massive misinterpretation of “that” moment at the 2009 VMAs. When life gives you lemons, what do you do with them? Over here at The Squeeze — we talk about it.
