Nichole Schmidt: Gabby Petito’s Story

In this week’s episode, the Lautners are joined by Nichole Schmidt—mother of Gabby Petito—for a brave and honest conversation about the murder of her daughter. Nichole begins by sharing Gabby's vibrant personality and the moment she knew something was wrong when Brian returned home without her. She discusses filing the missing persons report, the overwhelming reach of Gabby’s story, and the heartbreaking confirmation of her daughter’s death. Nichole reflects on how her grief has evolved over the past three and a half years, the hardest parts of coping, and how her other children are navigating their own grief. She talks about the challenges of mourning publicly, the painful “what ifs,” and what to say—or not say—to someone who is grieving. We then dive into the Netflix documentary American Murder: Gabby Petito, the failures of law enforcement, and Nichole’s last interaction with Brian’s family. Nichole also shares the mission of the Gabby Petito Foundation, why domestic violence is a systemic issue, and how we can all be better bystanders. She closes with advice for parents and those worried about loved ones in abusive relationships—and what she hopes the world will remember most about Gabby.*Nichole is sharing her personal opinions and experiences, and the views expressed are not statements of fact.Be sure to follow Nichole https://www.instagram.com/niki_schmidt_/!Learn more about the Gabby Petito Foundation: https://gabbypetitofoundation.orgIf you or someone you know if a victim of domestic and/or sexual violence, please visit: https://rainn.org/To email us your questions or share your story, you can reach out to lautner.thesqueezepodcast@gmail.comBe sure to rate, review, and follow the podcast so you don't miss an episode!

Natasha Bedingfield: Feel the Rain

This week, Tay is back for another girl talk episode—this time with singer-songwriter Natasha Bedingfield! She opens up about growing up in a musical family, how she found her way into music, and the role her supportive parents played in helping her pursue her dreams. Natasha shares the excitement and challenges that came with sudden fame, and how she’s learned to stay grounded while on the road. We talk about the often-overlooked reality that fame and fortune don’t make you immune to mental health struggles, including her personal experience with prenatal depression and the tools that helped her through it. Natasha also reflects on how motherhood has reshaped her perspective, why she once felt like she “was too much of a parent” as a child, and how she’s now learning to embrace more play in her life.

Christina Perri: A Story of Resilience

This week, the Lautners are joined by singer and songwriter Christina Perri! Christina starts from the very beginning, sharing what led her parents to seek therapy for her at just eight years old, what those early sessions looked like, and how she felt about it all at such a young age. She reflects on the unhealthy coping mechanisms that developed in her late teens and early twenties, her struggles with drugs and alcohol, what ultimately led her to choose sobriety, and offers powerful advice for anyone dealing with addiction or facing the fear and shame of relapse. She also walks us through the whirlwind of when “Jar of Hearts” took off after airing on So You Think You Can Dance and how it catapulted her career. From there, we explore her journey through motherhood—navigating postpartum depression, miscarriage, and stillbirth—and how she approached those conversations with her daughter. Christina opens up about grief, the toll child loss can have on a marriage, and what’s helped her heal. To wrap it up, she shares the story behind writing “A Thousand Years” for Breaking Dawn, her love for the Twilight series, and what inspired her to turn the song into a children’s book!Be sure to follow Christina https://instagram.com/christinaperri/!Shop Christina’s new children’s book ‘A Thousand Years’ here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/722851/a-thousand-years-by-christina-perri-illustrated-by-joy-hwang-ruiz/To email us your questions or share your story, you can reach out to lautner.thesqueezepodcast@gmail.comBe sure to rate, review, and follow the podcast so you don't miss an episode!
