The Squeeze

This week’s episode of Squeezon 2 (shoutout to Boy Tay for that pun) features two highly requested guests who also happen to be family; Makena Moore (formerly Lautner) and her husband Jacob Moore! We’ve heard the story of how Tay & Taylor came to be from their own perspective, but what does their matchmaker Makena recall from the early days of their relationship? And, what made her believe her new friend Tay would be a potential match for her brother? She’s answering these questions and sharing what went down behind the scenes. While Makena and Taylor clearly have a close sibling bond, that doesn’t mean that Taylor’s fame was easy to navigate for his younger sister. Makena opens up about the not-so-shiny parts of having a famous brother and how his success has affected her own identity. Jake and Makena also open up about their very own love story and their baby boy Breckon who has forever altered their lives (and their aunt and uncle’s lives!). Parenthood changes things (to say the least), and Makena and Jake open up about Makena’s postpartum depression and why she’s decided to change the way mamas look for answers to their many questions. There are plenty of laughs and also some tears as these four let the Lemon Drops into the intimate inner workings of their family.  Be sure to follow @mrsmakenamoore @mrjbmoore and check out @mysupportingmamas & www.mysupportingmamas.com   Thanks to our awesome sponsors for supporting this episode:  Ritual - Get 40% off your first month for a limited time at ritual.com/THESQUEEZE.

Happy New Year, Lemon Drops! We are starting Season 2 off with a bang as the Lautners are sitting down with actress and Dancing with the Stars champion, Xochitl Gomez. Xochitl talks about her background that led her into acting, what it’s like to often be the youngest on set, the process of auditioning for the role of America Chavez and what it’s like to be a part of the Marvel Multiverse. She shares how she copes with the negatives that come with fame such as social media bullying and how she combats the negativity. Xochitl dives into the importance of surrounding herself with a great group of friends whom she leans on whenever she needs a positive distraction and how setting healthy boundaries has helped her to worry less about things that are outside of her control. As if her acting career isn’t impressive enough, Xochitl recently brought home the Mirrorball trophy and will be going on tour with the cast. She shares exciting plans to document the experience for us all to see! Welcome to Season 2, Lemon Drops; we can't wait to show you what we've got in store. If you’re interested in seeing Xochitl perform on Dancing with the Stars Live, you can find tickets here: https://www.dwtstour.com/. Make sure you follow Xochitl on socials @_xochitl.gomez.

This week the Lautners engage in an insightful conversation with Dr. David Rosmarin, a clinical psychologist, scientist, educator, and author. Together, they discuss the distinction between stress and anxiety and the societal tendency to over medicate those with an anxiety diagnosis. Dr. Rosmarin presents a refreshing perspective, emphasizing that anxiety isn't inherently negative and can be leveraged positively. He shares his approaches to navigating anxiety, and together they discuss how anxiety can enhance relationships and contribute to self-awareness, resilience, and spirituality. They also discuss his advice on setting boundaries with family during the holiday season, and supporting loved ones during difficult times. This episode offers tools for personal growth and supporting loved ones when it comes to navigating anxiety, especially as we enter the holiday season.   Be sure to follow @dhrosmarin, visit his website dhrosmarin.com and check out his book Thriving with Anxiety.  Thanks to our awesome sponsor for supporting this episode:  Factor— Head to factormeals.com/thesqueeze50 and use code thesqueeze50 to get 50% off  To email us your questions or share your story, you can reach out to lautner.thesqueezepodcast@gmail.com.

Tay & Taylor have been long-time fans of today’s guest, so they’re excited to hear from the musician himself as he opens up about his mental health, his songwriting process, and his daily life with OCD and ADHD. Alec Benjamin didn’t find music until high school, but once he did his life was forever changed. He shares several stories of how he first discovered that his brain worked a little differently and how as a result, trying to fit into the system that society has setup has not come easy. Once he learned to open up through his music, a whole new set of mental health struggles came about: navigating life on tour, dealing with immediate audience feedback, and constantly facing the pressure of success. The Lautners and Alec talk about how exercise and therapy are two tools that they all turn to in order to manage their mental health. Plus, the Lautners hear how OCD affects Alec’s day to day, the surprising cover song you won’t be able to find online, and how he came up with his new song: I Sent My Therapist To Therapy.  Be sure to follow @alecbenjamin and check out the music video for I Sent My Therapist To Therapy  Thanks to our awesome sponsors for supporting this episode:  Article —Go to ARTICLE.COM/THESQUEEZE for $50 off your first purchase of $100 or more  SKIMS — The Fits Everybody collection and more perfect-fit essentials are available now at SKIMS.com.
